473251
hello, the best supplements for skin are: omega 3, flax seed oil and if you can, try to have extra virgin olive oil, it is excellent for the skin as well as for a moisturizer believe it or not. some skin cremes may help, the best ones are CETAPHIL and LUBRIDERM, but use those only if the oils that i mentioned above do not work, but they should..sometimes dry skin has alot to do with the diet or lack of some vitamin or mineral, in order to find this out, you would need to take a test, could be allergies as well...but try the fish oils and flax and olive oil and see how that works out for you...good luck

Sometimes a vitamin supplement of omega fatty acids 3,6,9, biotin, and zinc will greatly help skin problems like this. Also use cocoa butter on your hands and around your cuticles and wear soft cotton gloves at night. This will really help. I have various allergies and also work where I constantly have my hands in water, as a health care provider.

A good skincare routine, a well balanced diet and plenty of fluids can help to keep out skin healthy and glowing. \nThe three main skin types are dry, normal and oily. You may also have combination skin, where it is dry in some areas and oily in others (usually the chin, nose and forehead). Once you have worked out your skin type, you can make a more informed decision with regards to which is the best moisturising lotion for you.\nDry Skin: benefits most from quite heavy moisturizers such as creams, and lotion may be a little on the light side. Cocoa butter, evening primrose and glycerine based moisturizers can prove effective on dry skin.\n\nOily Skin: can be controlled through the use of a light lotion, as heavy creams will make the problem worse. Some of the ingredients to look out for include cedarwood, clary sage, tea tree, ylang ylang, and geranium.\nCombination and Normal Skin: should be moisturized with a light cream or lotion. If you have combination skin, you may need to apply a little extra cream to the drier areas. There are many creams and lotions available for this type of skin.\n\nRetinol (a derivative of vitamin A) which hydrates skin and gives it a firmer appearance \nAHAs (alpha-hydroxy acid) which can help to remove dead skin and give the skin a fresher look and softer feel \nBHAs (beta-hydroxy acid) such as salicylic acid, which can also help to remove dead skin and improve the look and feel of the skin \nVitamin B5, which can support natural regeneration of skin \nOne thing to remember with AHAs and BHAs is that they can make the skin far more sensitive to UV rays, and therefore you should not use them in very hot weather if you are going to be exposed to the sun. They should also be used in conjunction with an effective sunscreen. These acids can also irritate the skin, and should therefore be tested before regular use to ensure that you are not sensitive to them.\n\nIf you have sensitive skin you should also opt for lotions that are not fragranced in any way. Perfumed lotions can irritate some skin, particularly on the face. There are plenty of fragrance-free and hypo-allergenic lotions on the market which are ideal for sensitive skin. \n\nFinally, an important thing to look out for in daytime lotions and creams is an effective UV filter or sunscreen. If you are going to be out and about during the daytime, you need to protect your face from the sun and from UV ray, even during the winter months. There are plenty of moisturizers available that have built in filters and sunscreens, enabling you to keep your skin fresh, hydrated and protected.

I've heard Mederma works.  Also, put Vitamin E from a Vitamin E capsule directly on it every night for a year.  I've also heard that works if you use Neosporin on it every day.

What probably ages the skin most is the UVA and B sun rays.  After taking a good one-a-day vitamin formulated for your age and sex, to insure you are getting at least the minimum required amounts of essential vitamins from your diet as supplimented, consider using a dermatologist approved skin lotion with perhaps SPF 15 sunscreen protection.  If you block the sun with sunscreen, be sure to take enough Vitamin D, to make up for lost Vitamin D, usually received from sun exposure.\n\nDrug stores should have a suitable product such as Lubriderm - Daily UV Lotion.  Read the instructions and keep it out of the eys and away from children.  Good luck.

Dove is very gentle.  If you want to pay more, beauty bars containing oatmeal are very good for dry skin.  And another gentle product is Baby Magic.\n\nAfter you shower or bathe, use baby oil on your skin to seal in the moisture.

Vitamin E, one of the antioxidants, can be taken regularly as part of a daily vitamin and mineral supplement or spread as in an ointment on sunburn. Vitamin C is another antioxidant that will help prevent severe damage from sunburn and shorten its effects. Selenium is a mineral that will help fight sunburn.

As a nutritionist, I would recommend a good B-Complex vitamin.  Eczema (and roscea) are prone to flare ups especially when Riboflavin (B2) and B12 are deficient.  When the body is under stress, the B vitamins are easily depleted, which lead to skin irritations, hair loss, sleep distrubances, and metabolic issues.

Try a lotion that's made specifically for cracked, dry feet. Look for an ingredient called "urea" (or "chemically synthesized urea"). That helps the skin keep moisture from escaping into the air, and it's been great on my elbows. Urea occurs naturally in our skin, but if we don't have enough, it may cause dry skin. Use it every day and within a week you'll be surprised at the difference. Urea is also used to treat eczema.

Forget all the so-called special stuff that cost a fortune. Simply rely on the basics. If there is any concern with dryness of skin, for example, use something as simply as Johnson's Baby Oil or some of the other products on the market that heal.\n\nAnd lighten up.  Do it gentle.

vitamin E oil will help take the redness out of new scars and help soften them. My mother has had joint replacements that you car barely see now.

Curad scar therapy works really well.  There are other brands too - check with your pharmacist.  Mederma is also good as an ointment.\n\nVitamin E can work well.  I would not suggest using neat Vitamin E oil, or directly from a capsule.  I have had patients use it on surgical incisions (4-6 weeks old) and it really irritated them, made things red and itchy.  If you use Vitamin E in a moisturizer cream and work it into the scar, the massage and cream combine effects.  Try working in small semi-circles away from the scar - this will help to stretch it better.
