At this time of year, skin that is exposed to the elements quickly becomes dry and flaky and that’s a sign that you need to take action before it becomes cracked and broken, which I can tell you from experience is a very painful state of affairs indeed.
So here is a real easy remedy that comes straight from your larder: carefully apply a small amount of raw honey directly to the affected areas. Massage it very gently into the surface of your skin and leave it for at least five minutes. Then rinse it away with clean water and gently pat the area dry. Needless to say, if you’re one of those unfortunate people who can’t eat honey without developing a reaction, then this remedy isn’t for you.
Otherwise, it’s a good thing to do last thing at night before you go to bed but it’s such an quick remedy that you can use it several times a day as needed.
