Dry skin is generally due to less oil and moisture produced by
sebaceous glands. Simple dry skin results from lack of natural
oils affecting mostly women under age of 35 years, while complex
dry skin lacks both oil and moisture and is distinguished by
fine lines, enlarged pores and sagging skin that happens with
aging. Alternatively, dry skin could be results from genetic
condition, poor diet especially deficiencies of vitamin A and
the B vitamins, exposure to environmental factors such sun,
wind, or aggressive usage of chemicals, cosmetics and excessive
bathing with harsh soaps.

oils for dry skin are Chamomile,
Geranium, Hyssop, Lavender, Patchouli, Rose, Sandalwood and

cells and is soothing, healing and moisturizing.
