Skin creams can dry out skin

The topic of using oils came up recently when Susan posed a question (see the topic of post summer skin care here) about the difference between oils in skin care. I recommended the use of natural oils such as coconut oil that are much more gentle on skin and allow it to absorb it fully unlike mineral oils that leave the greasy residue and don’t do much to lubricate the skin. Adding beeswax to natural moisturizer recipes is highly recommended for any skin type but especially dry skin type where it can make a huge difference in how much of the moisture the skin takes in and retains.

Since winter is ahead of us and the dry skin type suffers the most throughout it, here are some great dry skin recipes that can help your skin.
