For relieving dry itchy skin, take a sponge bath by adding five tablespoons of baking soda to one and half quarts of water. You can also use one cup of baking soda and dissolve it in a tub of water, hot enough for a soothing bath. Soak in this tub containing for 45 minutes and dry without rubbing your body, with a soft gentle cloth.
Rub a handful of salt to your affected skin after the shower or bath. The salt helps to get rid of the dry itchy scales and will make your skin smooth.
Do not take steams during the time the skin is still dry and itchy. Although steams sound relieving and soothing, it actually draws out the skin’s valuable oils and will dry your skin even further.
