Your Dry Skin Needs a Break Today
As we age, our skin produces less of the natural oil that helps it retain its moisture. It’s easy to treat dry skin cheaply, simply, naturally, yet effective, at home. Skin is not dry because it lacks oil, but because it lacks water.
Skin consists of loose connective tissue and elastin. The skin is often known as “the largest organ of the human body.” Skin contains the hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, apocrine glands and blood vessels.
The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis that consists of connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. Epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin.
The dermis is structurally divided into two areas: a superficial area adjacent to the epidermis, called the papillary region, and a deep thicker area known as the reticular region.
Dry skin could also be a sign of an underactive thyroid. Environmental factors such as exposure to sun, wind, cold, chemicals, or cosmetics, or excessive bathing with harsh soaps, can cause dry skin.
Serious skin complications, including dry skin, can arise for people with diabetes. The oil glands do not supply enough lubrication to the skin: as a result, the skin becomes dehydrated.
Use a humidifier if the air is dry. Cosmetics should be used carefully because they may cause allergic reactions like contact dermatitis. Drink plenty of water every day.
Use flaxseed oil or walnut oil in your salad. Eat foods that contain essential fatty acids. Concentrating on a diet of LOTS of fruits and vegetables (preferably uncooked) and no junk food, should give you an observable improvement within 30 days.
Drink plenty of water, a minimum of a quart a day. For an easy fiber boost, mix in 2 tablespoons of ground up flaxseeds in raw applesauce, from 2-3 apples, made in your food processor.
It just takes motivation, a willingness to try it, and diligent application of coconut oil several times daily and at bedtime to see its benefits. Use bath oils and moisturizers, especially coconut oil, at least daily.
Also use a thin layer of coconut oil under your make-up to moisturize your skin all day. Coconut oil is very inexpensive, therefore, a good, cheap home remedy.
Functions of the skin are disturbed when it is dirty; it becomes more easily damaged, the release of antibacterial compounds decreases and dirty skin is more prone to develop infections.
The skin is subject to constant attack from without, so can be affected by numerous conditions, diseases and ailments.
Dry skin can be converted into healthy skin using natural home remedies.
With this information your dry skin should be well on its way to recovery Go to your skin doctor if dryness and itching are preventing you from sleeping. If nothing seems to work it might be more than dry skin, so you should see the doctor.

Scorpios…. give me your opinions….?
My bf, whos a scorpio, just broke up with me becuz I told him about my recent discover of genital warts…. he knew I have had HPV since aug, but just NOW I got the warts….. then the next day he said he didn’t know if he’d made the right choice by breaking up with me because he loves me so much still and just wants us to stick together…. but ever since he said that he’s been keeping his distance and telling me he just needs to think because he’s upset and confused…… we didn’t see each other yesterday, he said we’d hang out today, but then we didn’t….. but he’s said that he promises to talk to me tomorrow….. I’m scared he’s going to leave me…… and all I really want is support right now, especially from him…….
if you were a scorpio male and your gf told you this…. how would you react???? (HPV is sorta like chickenpox…. it’s a virus, never goes away, but once symptoms go away then it just sleeps in your skin for the rest of your life)…. would you leave?
we both love each other very very much which I KNOW is why he’s so torn right now…………. he told me he feels as though I’m dirty….. and I know I’m not, he knows I’m not….. but I understand where he’s coming from…………. genital warts are the same ones you get on your hands and feet, just in the genitals……..
I didn’t cheat on him…… this may have come from a previous partner…… which is one of his reasons for being so upset right now, he told me he’s upset that I was so dumb with practicing safe sex, and I tried to explain that even condoms don’t protect against HPV 100%……. which of course he didn’t want to hear……….. he basically just said he’s disappointed in me, upset, confused……… he still really loves me and always will….. but he just wants to think………
if you are a scorpio male and u had a good relationship that was like this….. what would you do??????

This is rather personal to be on the horoscope board. And you’re judging this by his Scorpio sun sign? It has nothing to do with his sun sign, let alone astrology. You would yield better results if you re-phrased and directed your question at all men and women on the health board.

this is more of a relationship issue. not having anything to do with him being a Scorpio or not, really, if he loves you long term but brakes up with you because of a rash???????? Is HE worth it to you? You had better decide what is right for you not him.

Hi Sweetie,
I know that you are hurt and feel scared and lonely. And you can’t figure him out that’s why you are out here asking this question. I am not a scropio, but maybe I can help. But you have to remember that this is personal and understanding signs can only take you so far…
ok, scropios are very possesive and jealous. Even if he knows that you did nt’ cheat on him and that you got the Warts from previous relationship – the fact that your old relationship is now a roadblock on your current one is driving him crazy. He is now forced to face the fact that you had sex with someone else, even though it was before you met him. Also, sex is very very important to him, but he can’t have that with you right now as you are recoveing. Plus, everytime he wants to get intimate with you , he MAY obssesively think about you being intimate with your old BF.
He wants you all for himself, and as long as he is reminded that there’s a part of you that is "contaminated" by another guy, he will pull away.
But this is an Aries talking. Scropios are waay to mysterious pains in the A$$ for me

I don’t know how long you have been with him. But this is a big thing to deal with in a relationship without a long history and strong foundation. HPV is nothing, it is a very common virus–but the warts would be a shocker for any man to deal with. Just like if you had to deal with him having an STD with contagious symptoms. Could he have an outbreak of warts now?
That said, it is my experience that a mature Scorpio man in love within a well-established relationship can deal with anything. I was diagnosed with a chronic illness myself affecting my relationship. Not an STD or anything contagious though. But if not managed, it involves some intense mood swings that a lesser man and/or one not in love with me might not choose to deal with in a partner.
He read up on the illness, every piece of literature and study on it, every treatment option, etc. He always makes sure I take my medication and immediately takes on the role of my caregiver when the illness is triggered. He makes sure there are groceries in my refrig. , that I am safe, and that I am eating, etc.
There is no way a man less strong than him would be able to handle this, or even want to handle this. Even if love was there, a lesser man couldn’t hack it. There is a very high break-up rate for relationships of people with this illness.
What I am trying to tell you is that many Scorpio men have the strength, dependability, ability to handle a crisis, determination, stick-to-it-ness, purpose, compassion, and resolve to protect the one they love from the effects of illness.
Whether they choose to do this instead of walk away is up to them. Give him some time. Know that if he doesn’t come back, it was not meant to be and would not have worked out anyways.

Im a scorpio.
If my partner told me this I would be acting just like him.
Because well……Its just that um Okay Im going to tell this like if my boyfriend had HPV and told me this.
Okay so most likey me and my bf arents going to get married and grow old.. I mean we could be soul mates but most likely not just like my past boyfriends..
If he had HPV I would be asking myself a serious questions.. should I continue this relationship?
If we have sex…and he turns out not to be the one I would have future relationship problems for the rest of my life… What If I give it to me REAL future husband before we get married? what If I never get married just because of this?
See hes probably worried just like I would be because If you turn out to not be "the one" having the disease might totally mess up his future…
Maybe yall shouldnt have sex until yall are married? that way if hes not the one he wont have relationship problems.. but if he is then it wouldnt matter if you have it because yall are going to be spending the rest of your lifes together….
I dont think it matters that hes a scorpio..I think no matter what your sign is everyone would be worried about this.
