You can also massage your skin and neck with pulp of coconut mixed with olive oil. This would be a great home remedy to cure dry skin problems.

If you can manage time to visit salons and spas, then do not miss any opportunity to get yourself pampered. Go for aromatherapy sessions and other types of complete body care sessions. You can also prepare a concoction of herbal essential oils like sandalwood oil, sunflower oil, rosemary oil, etc. Massage every part of your body with this oil before taking bath. Moisturize yourself with body lotions after taking bath.

Shape your nails and file it properly. Pedicure and manicure is essential to retain the feminine appeal in hands and feet. Apply enamel protection gel before coating with nail polish.

If you have long hair, you can style it in many different ways that suit you as well as the occasion. No matter what your hairstyle is, you must take care of it. Oil your hair thrice a week followed by rinsing it with a good brand of shampoo. Do not forget to apply a conditioner if your hair is dry.
