Aloe Vera Hydrating Mask for Dry Skin

Sarah, TX asks:
Could you give me a recipe for a good hydrating mask for excessively dry skin?
Annie:
I find that aloe vera gel is about the most hydrating plant you can use on your skin, and it is very healing. Just pat it on. When I first did this, my skin seemed to ask for more and more aloe vera gel for a few days, and then applying it just once a day was sufficient. To make the aloe more lubricating, add about 1/4 the amount of pure vegetable glycerin.

add your comment »The Made from Earth PURE ALOE Treatment is what I've been looking for for a very long time. Its pure Aloe Vera without all the chemicals.
If you read the ingredient lists on your regular aloe vera lotion / gel that you can buy in any grocery store, there are always chemicals added to make the aloe vera juice into a gel. Made from Earth’s Pure Aloe Vera Treatment does not contain these additives - What you get is pure aloe vera - aloe vera in nature. It goes on your skin nicely and sinks in completely without the residue that you get from commercial gels. Wonderful product! Keep it in your fridge to prolong its shelf life and to add to its skin cooling! I'm hooked and won't buy any other aloe vera product anymore.
You can find them at www.madefromearth.com

HI! I have a couple of moisturizers on Care2 that are easy to make. The first one adds vegetable glycerin to aloe ( http://www.care2.com/greenliving/soft-and-silky-moisturizer-formula.html ), and the other takes a bit more time but is really excellent:

are there any mud packs for men with dry skin or is this a women only issue. I am beginning to get blotches on my face of dead skin and I think it is going to get worse with global warming even living near the coast in San Diego

Linda Sy is a great skin company for people with severe dry skin and other skin conditions. This is my favorite product:

My skin is so dry that it actually produces SO much excessive oil if left untamed. What really helps me is to before bed, steam over a bowl of hot water with a few drops of tea tree oil for about 20 mins. Then apply a thin layer of castor oil. Castor oil is thick and goopy but surprisingly it keeps my pores open and not clogged. My skin is soft and supple in the morning!
