Tips to Battle Dry Skin from Skin Care Experts

Dry skin can result from frequent bathing, aging,
use of harsh soaps, or certain medical
conditions, when skin is unable to retain
sufficient moisture. Dry skin can occur during
any season, but its during winter months when
theres no humidity in the air, that it becomes
uncomfortable and itchy. You may suffer from red,
rough, raw, and itchy skin. But, there are many
simple things you can do to help heal dry skin
and prevent its return.

Most importantly, following the same skin care
routine all year round may not be effective when
the humidity drops, which highlights the
importance of change in your skin care, or dry
skin can make fine lines and wrinkles more
visible.
Baths and Showers Tips- Baths and showers can
make dry skin worse. Limit your time in the
shower or bath to 5 or 10 minutes, use warm
instead of cold water since hot water strips
natural oils and hydrators from skin (which you
need to help trap moisture and keep your skin
smooth and moist), wash with a gentle cleanser,
blot your skin gently dry with a towel, and put
on moisturizer immediately after drying your skin
(helps plug the spaces between your skin cells
and seal in moisture while your skin is still
damp).

It is important to stay away from harsh bar soaps
in the shower that are laden with detergents and
fragrance, which can irritate the skin. Choose a
mild, gentle soap instead. Add Humidity- Invest
in a humidifier, regular usage of which will add
necessary moisture back into the air and into
your skin. Set the humidifier to around 60
percent, a level that should be adequate to
replenish the top layer of the skin. Choose a
humidifier that fits your lifestyle.
5
Follow a Healthy Diet- Proteins, fats and
vitamins are the building blocks for healthy
skin, hair and nails. So, its advisable that you
follow a diet that includes healthy fats such
as olive oil, avocados, salmon, a daily
multi-vitamin, at least half-a-liter of water and
protein. Practicing good hygiene and following a
healthy diet are equally important to avoid
damage and prevent moisture loss. See a
dermatologist if implementing these tips do not
bring relief. Your dermatology provider will
prescribe an ointment or cream, and may also
suggest you undergo treatment since dry skin also
can be a sign of a skin condition.
