Aloe Vera and Evaporated Milk

• Try to avoid products for your skin that contain drying agents such as clay, alcohol, or glycerin. These can make a dry skin problem worse than it already is, and may dry out your skin, even if your skin is normal.
  
  To calm down your dry, itchy skin, add evaporated milk to your bath. Oatmeal is another great natural skin soother; add 1/2 cup to your bath for good dry skin relief. Baking soda and milk mixed together in the bath is another option for treating dry, itchy skin.
  
  Use some aloe vera to relieve your dry,itchy skin. Aloe vera is a classic skin soother, and can be purchased at a health food store, or you can even grow your own aloe vera plants, and break off a small piece of the leaf as you need it.
  
  

Cornstarch, Cold Compresses, and Scrubbing

• To help control itching, cornstarch can be used in the bath. Just sprinkle a small amount in the tub, stir, and relax in your bath for at least 20 minutes. You can also dust your skin with some cornstarch for instant relief.
  
  Another natural, easy remedy for dry, itchy skin is simply applying a cold compress to the area that is irritated. An icy cloth can provide a lot of relief for skin that has become itchy or sensitive.
  
  Gently exfoliate your skin by scrubbing away the dead layer of dried skin. Often this is enough to provide some relief. Use a natural, moisturizing soap, and apply moisturizer after your scrub down to further soothe your skin.
  
  

Diet, Smoking, and Witch Hazel

• Eat a healthy diet to improve the condition of your skin. A well-balanced diet will actually improve your skin, and you won't be as itchy. Make sure to include a lot of fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts and whole grains.
  
  Quit smoking. Simply put, smokers often have skin that is dry. People who smoke also develop wrinkles more quickly. Quitting smoking will have a huge impact on your skin and overall health as well.
  
  One final natural remedy for dry, itchy skin is witch hazel. You can massage a few drops of witch hazel into your skin, and see almost immediate improvement in the look and feel of your skin.
