How do I make my skin silky smooth?

I would like to make my skin very soft. Right now, it is veeerry dry and rough. I even have patches of super rough skin that are starved for hydration.





People have said that this works, but I am not sure:





Splitting grapes and rubbing it into skin (face and body).





Do the same for blueberries and strawberries (not sure).





Massage sour cream into face.





Do any of these work?





Should I steam my face to open my pores before I do it?

How do I make my skin silky smooth?
Exfoliate and moisturize.


The fruit are naturally acidic (each one has a different type all tend to be exfoliating) and that will cause a very gentle exfoliation. It may take a really long time and a lot of produce to get the initial result you are after.


The sour cream, has lactic acid from the milk, which is also exfoliating.


These would all be gentle ways of exfoliating your facial skin. All would probably work very well for you. Save your fruit waste after cutting fruits and use them for your skin.
Reply:C'mon, this is witch-doctor stuff. Get a good moisturizing lotion - I use Avon stuff. Drink lots of water and use the lotion 3X day.





Good Luck
Reply:Cucumber is a surprising beauty secret for the skin, with its hydrating, nourishing and astringent properties. Cucumbers have the same pH as the skin so they help to restore the skin’s protective and natural acid mantle. You could cut them and put cucumber coins straight onto your skin to sooth and soften, or combine them as here with other kitchen-cupboard ingredients to provide lovely toning. The end result is soothed, smoothed, cooled, happier skin!





INGREDIENTS





5 fresh mint leaves


1/4 medium cucumber


1 large egg white


Bottled or spring water





1. Place the mint in a food processor or blender and give it one short burst to chop. Peel and seed the cucumber. Add it to the mint in the processor or blender and puree. Beat the egg white separately until it stands in stiff peaks. Fold it very gently in to the pureed cucumber mixture.





2. Apply evenly to the face and neck and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with bottled or spring water and pat dry.
Reply:Water, vitamins, good (healthy) eating habits and those home remedies work just fine if you don't want to spend all your money on those commercialized skin products...but if you do end up using one of those then try Dove or Olay. They are wonderful.

***I have dry skin. So what i do is use Olay Quench Lotion and mix a lil bit of Hair Grease into it. or sheen oil. olive oil feels great so you can steam our face and spray a lil bit of olive oil on your hands and massage into your face then about 3 mins l8ter appl moistureizer. my face is always soft. For body, dont use Dove,or that Cheap brand or Shampoo. Use lorel if you do use shampoo. mix lorel with your bar of soap and when taking a bath sit in the tub and use a purple pumic stone. it works wonderfully and you can get deak skin off. dry skin is dead skin Why restore sumthin dead? take the dead skin off and then use the moisturizer=olive oil and olay quench. if you shave and your skin is dry use sheen oil to loosen up the hair and then use a shaving gel or cream. then use moisturizer, Works everytyme for me. Im never ashey or cracked.
Reply:Listen, buy some Carress body lotion and use that as a shaving cream. Then after you take a shower, put some lotion on your body. I'd recommend Body Fantasies in Vanilla (or any kind of scent you want) and do a schedule.





When you wake up (after shower) put some on.


When you sleep put some one.





Drink lots of water.
Reply:Those solutions won't help.





Here are some ways to hydrate your skin:





Drink at least 4 ounces of water during each waking hour.





Use a body scrub or salt scrub (olive oil with a lot of table salt mixed in) and a loofah; go over your whole body, especially any rough parts.





Do not use harsh soaps, use oil of olay for example.





Only pat yourself dry; no rubbing so that you retain some of the moisture from the bath.





When moisturizing after your bath or shower, put on heavy cream (such as nivea), baby oil or petroleum jelly on your whole body; it should melt right in if you use a light touch.





Within two days you will notice the difference. Within two weeks, you will be incredibly soft and silky all over. If you stop drinking the water, you will turn into a scaly old crone.

Use glycolic acid (mild peel) and trichloracetic acid (medium peel) solutions. These peels are safe, not overly aggressive, and do not necessitate time off from work or social activities. Peels smooth, freshen, and soften the skin.
