dry skin

[bandits_mom08]

I read somewhere on the site about dealing with dry skin. I can not find the post again and it looks like Bandit had dandrif. How do I fix this. I remember something about using aloevera. Does it need to be pure aloe? and how do I go about using it?

 

Any Help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, aloe vera is what you need for the dry skin. There is 100% pure Aloe Vera Gel and Aloe Vera Juice. You can find it at Walmarts or your local drugstores.

 

I use the the aloe vera juice and put it in a spray or misting bottle and try to soak all the feathers down to the skin. I have never tried the gel(because I found the juice first) but others have and I think it's just a preference. I would think you would rub it on them do in the dry skin areas.

 

Hope that helps

Just a quick correction

Juice is made for spraying the skin/feathers.

Gel is made for spot irritations and cuts or other minor skin injuries. It's not supposed to be diluted and used as a spray. Basically, you should have both in the house. basically, think of it as a first aid cream.

Thanks for the correction Dave. That makes sense.
