How to Know You Have Dry Skin
Dry skin can be recognized by the fact that it is fine, fragile, very sensitive to wind, and especially by the fact that it tends to wrinkle easily. The easiest way to find out if you have dry skin or not is by doing the following test: press a thin piece of paper on your face. If it has absolutely no traces of grease, it means that you have dry skin. If this is the case, below are some of the best summer skin care recipes for dry skin.
4 Natural Summer Skin Care Recipes for Dry Skin
1. Linden Flower Infusion for Dry Skin
Linden infusion is emollient and moisturizing, making it an ideal natural skin care recipe for dry skin, especially during the hot summer days. To prepare the linden flower infusion for cosmetic purposes, soak 2-3 teaspoons of the dried linden flowers in half a cup of water (room temperature) for 8-10 hours or overnight. Strain and set aside. Put the used linden in another half cup of boiling water and steep for half a minute. Allow to cool, then strain and mix the two linden extracts and your combined infusion is ready.
Use the linden flower infusion to wash your face (with the help of a cotton pad), in the morning and evening. Or, use it to make compresses that you apply on your cheeks, and eyes, 2-3 times a week. Remove the sage compresses after 10-15 minutes, and allow the skin to dry naturally. This compress has calming effects and helps to rebalance skin hydration.
2. Comfrey Root Cream for Dry Skin
Comfrey root is an extraordinary protector for dry skin, as it has nourishing, anti-inflammatory, and tonic effects. Use a natural comfrey root salve that you find in natural foods stores or online, and apply it every morning and during the day, to protect your skin against the sun and the wind. In the evening, apply a rich calendula salve on your cheeks and around the eyes. You can make calendula salve at home following the recipe here.
3. Wild Strawberry Mask for Dry Skin
Combine two spoons of mashed wild strawberries (or just strawberries) with two spoons of sour cream and two spoons of honey. Apply the mask for 20 minutes, then wash it off using a cotton pad soaked in linden flower infusion. For best results, use this face mask for dry skin 1-2 times a week.
4. Rain Water Massage for Dry Skin
Rainwater has special skin care properties, it hydrates the skin, activates circulation, and cleans the skin of impurities. The rainwater massage is very simple, especially on a rainy summer day. Simply walk in the rain for 10 minutes with your face up so that the rainwater drops gently hit your face. Washing your face with rainwater, without soap, is just as effective.
Natural Skin Care for Combination Skin
Combination skin is a mix of oily and dry skin. Usually, the areas around the nose, chin, and forehead are oily, while the cheeks and especially the skin around the eyes are dry. If you have combination skin, the natural summer skin care that we recommend is a bit different. On your cheeks and around your eyes use linden flower infusion, strawberry mask, and comfrey root and calendula salve presented above. While on your nose, chin, and forehead use a natural skin mask with wheat, sage infusion, and apple juice (see instructions here).
