HOW TO CARE FOR DRY SKIN

                                          

 

 

 

If your skin is dry and itchy, you are not alone. Lucky for you, there are easy fixes for this condition. All it takes is a little practice and the right products

 

FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING STEPS

1

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

Enough can not be said about hydration. Drink plenty of water. It is generally accepted that you should consume 8-10 cups of water per day. In addition to getting your hydration by drinking it, you should also soak in the water through your pores. Try a (short) daily soak in a bath of warm, but not scalding hot, water or a leisurly shower if a bath is not your thing.

Moisturize! This seems like a no brainer (Dry skin, Moisturize!).

Moisturize! This seems like a no brainer (Dry skin, Moisturize!). But, finding the right moisturizer can be trial and error. If you have sensitive skin, use a product without dyes or perfumes. Smother a moisturizer all over every time after your shower or bath. The 3 minute period after exiting a bath (before your skin dries), is the best time. Your body will soak up the moisturizer best during this window. Pay special attention to hands, elbows, knees and feet.

 

 

4

Use Sunblock.

Use Sunblock. Those harsh sun rays can dry out your skin. Apply a sunblock product on your exposed areas - face, hands, neck, etc. daily (or twice a day). Use at least SPF 15 or greater.

 

5

Pat, don't rub. Pat yourself dry after a bath or shower, don't rub or wipe. This just irritates dry skin.

 

6

Eat right! Believe it or not, how your skin looks and feels can depend on your diet.

Eat right! Believe it or not, how your skin looks and feels can depend on your diet. Try to squeeze in all of those essential vitamins and nutrients during the day that help keep your skin in balance and looking marvelous. Vitamin supplements can also aid in skin health, such as Vitamins C, E, A, K, and B complex. Consult with a physician before starting any type of supplement routine.

 

7

Pay attention to the little things.

Pay attention to the little things. Have to shave? Try using a razor and shaving cream with moisturizers in it. Using cover-up? Opt for one with moisturizer.

 

 

The dish on soap. Almost all soaps can actually remove the oil from your skin. This is no good. The natural oils in your skin are essential protective layer, so opt for a body wash that is soap-free. Cetaphil is a great non-soap product. Plain aqueous cream is also a soap alternative for dry skin sufferers. Additionally, you can dilute your soaps and shampoos with water. Children under the age of 5 do not have body odor, so if they are the dry skin sufferer, then skip the soap alltogether. A good 15 minute soak in the tub will do the trick! An oatmeal bath is another soft solution.
