Dermatologists Share Their Favorite Dry Skin Remedies

Sure, long hot showers feel great in the dead of winter, but they're not doing your skin any favors. "The steaming water rising from your skin during and after a shower is literally your soft, supple skin evaporating into thin air," says Deirdre Hooper, MD, of Audubon Dermatology in New Orleans. New York City-based dermatologist, Dhaval Bhanusali, MD, suggests limiting shower time to no more than seven minutes, max.
