Good morning, Nightshade and Lacra - just back from Egypt: came to conclusion that water there is 'hard' as I had to use lots of soap and shampoo and ended up with soapy scum in the basin. My skin is dry and flaky too, despite lots of sun cream - I'm used to 'soft' water, so it may take a while for me to get back to normal. Can't answer for the taste - we nish Brits were advised not to drink water from the tap! And yes, my nails grew - but I think that's more a case of what my Mum called "Lady's hands" - no work for a fortnight!
Hehehhe, I use to buy mineral water as I am afraid to drink water from the tap. The same problems with the skin and I watch my Egyptian colleagues here, they have such a soft and shining skin. What did they do to look this healthy way? I have no idea! Maybe is something related to the land we are born in: the water, the air, the sun are designed to fit perfectly... I don't know...Quote:

Hey everyone! Kinda new here. Hopefully I fit in!! Where I live is really hot and dry skin is always an issue. Some home rededies my mom told me about are: Using olive oil to massage your skin before bed or applying a mixture of egg, olive oil, a few drops of rose water and few drops of orange or lime juice for 10 mintues in the morning.
Wearing sunscreen is always helpful too. Prevention is key! :)
I was told to make sure I drink plenty of water and keep healthy oil in my diet. I also use a lotion that is oatmeal based. Aveeno makes a good one.Quote:

I am a male infiltrating this thread.... I have an extreme form of atopic eczema, and as a result always have extremely dry irritated skin, the solution... use a neutral moisturiser........... abd hormonal salves, but that's a doctor's prescription and doesn't count. ;)
And starnge as it may sound sleep! A couple of years a go I spent 2 weeks sleeping about 20 hours a day and my skin glowed! obviously you cant sleep 20 hours a day but get atleast 8-10 hours in :nod:
Thanks for the warning! :smilewinkgrin:Quote:

I feel having enough sleep is important too... Why don't I give that a try sometime? :rolleyes5:
And don't forget a good facial scrub to get rid of the dead skin cells.
