Dry Skin Care Tips

Many women suffer from dry skin, whether it be due to their genetics or weather conditions, and in order to rehydrate your skin, you want to learn how to keep moisture in. One dry skin care rule is to always moisturizer right after you shower or wash your hands. Why? When your skin is wet, it absorbs products such as lotions and creams more readily, so in order to soak up the full moisturizing properties of your skin care products, you will want to apply them while your skin is still damp. You should also exfoliate on a weekly basis in order to rejuvenate skin and get rid of excess skin cells, and wear moisturizer on your face daily.

If you live in a low humidity climate or you are around fireplaces and heaters frequently, you should invest in a humidifier, which will keep the air around you moist. Human skin needs more than thirty percent humidity in order to stay properly moisturized. Other important notes are to avoid drying soaps and products that contain high alcohol levels, which can be drying to skin, and look into applying essential oils for added moisturizing properties.
