Skin Care Weekly #1: Dry Skin Care

Dry Skin Care

Do you have dry skin and want to figure out how to treat it and take care of it? Here's a post on what it is, and how to care for dry skin.

Dry Skin Can Produce:

• Almost invisible pores
• Red patches
• A dull, rough complexion
• Less elasticity

Dry skin can get worse in the wind, sun, or cold, UV radiation from tanning beds, indoor heating, long hot showers, ingredients in soaps and cosmetics, and some medications.

How To Treat & Care for Dry Skin:

• Don't let the temperature inside your home get too hot
• Take shorter showers and baths
• Use gentle soaps and cleansers. 
• Don't use deodorant soap on the areas that are affected.
• Don't scrub your skin when you're bathing or drying.
• Apply a rich moisturizer to your face after washing. Do this twice a day.
• If you also have dry skin on other parts of your body like arms, legs, and hands, apply rich lotion throughout the day to those areas.

I hope this helps you if you experience dry skin. If you have anymore questions, just comment and ask.
