One of the simplest and the best ways to get rid of dry skin is using petroleum jelly. Applying petroleum jelly can give immediate effects. One can also use cornstarch as a home remedy for dry skin. Add some cornstarch to the water or in the bathtub while having a bath. Oatmeal can also prove helpful in treating dry and scaly skin. Add some instant oatmeal to your bathing water and have a bath. Oatmeal is rich with vitamin A which moisturizes and nourishes the skin, making it softer and healthier. Oatmeal is also a good remedy for dry and chapped hands. Instead of rubbing hands with soap, one can also use oatmeal to rub hands. Vegetable oil can be an excellent remedy for dry and itchy skin. Apply vegetable oil fifteen to twenty minutes before going for a bath. Let it seep into the skin and then have a bath. It will leave the skin moisturized and smooth.

Aloe Vera is known to be a natural moisturizer. Use clear jelly of Aloe Vera and slather it on the skin. Let it stay for some time so that the body absorbs the moisture. Then one can either wipe it off or wash it. One has to follow these remedies in continuity so that the skin retains the texture and to avoid reoccurrence of dry and scaly skin. One must avoid using harsh soaps and detergents. Use soaps which are milder or else one can also use baking soda or gram flour as a substitute for soap.
