Courteney Cox trying to deal with dry skin

Courteney Cox suffers with dry skin.

The 'Scream 4' actress admits she is partly to blame for the common problem as she doesn't drink enough water but Courteney - who recently joined website xoJane.com as the new beauty columnist - has come up with some ways to deal with it.

In her blog, she said: "I have the dryest skin!!! I know I need to drink more water, but until then another thing that really helps is to take a loofah or a thistle brush.

"Use it on dry skin before you get in the shower. I brush upwards and it hurts. Then I shower. While I'm still wet I put on almond oil - Aura Cacia Sweet Almond. Don't rub it off with your towel, just pat your skin or let it dry naturally."

Courteney also recommends a body oil by Pure Fiji but warns it can ruin silk shirts if people aren't careful.

She said: "If you're crazy dry, then put on another cream or oil. I happen to be a coconut nut, so I use Pure Fiji coconut milk and honey. Yes, you will be pretty oily for a bit, but if you have the time to let it soak in, you'll feel great. Just watch out when you're wearing silk shirts!"
