Dry Skin Care: Problems and Solutions See All Dry Skin

PROBLEM:

Dry skin, also known as "xerosis", is not just a skin condition, but it is a very common skin type. Characterized by a parched appearance and a firm skin texture, dry skin is especially common in winter when skin is exposed to cold, dry air and indoor heating systems.

Dry skin most commonly appears on the arms face and legs - first appearing as small pink spots. If not treated, dry skin can turn into painful red patches of bumpy skin that will eventually flake and become irritated, leading to itchiness. Dry Skin may also be the result of common skin conditions, such as Psoriasis and Seborreah. In some cases, if the dry skin irritation is heavy, the heavy itching can cause the condition to spread, so the comfort from the application of a dry skin product may help to reduce the irritation and itching. Consult your dermatologist if you are uncertain about your dry skin condition, but for most normal dry skin situations, read below.

SOLUTION:

First and foremost, make sure that you are consuming and drinking enough water. This does not mean soda or coffee or products that are processed with water and stimulants, but pure water or soups and foods that contain water. This is necessary for general health and skin respiration, plus body cleansing and hydration. To alleviate your skin's dryness, cleanse with moisturizing products and apply a rich oil-based cream or lotion frequently throughout the day - and especially before bedtime. Dry Skin Products frequently contain oils to help your skin retain your natural moisture. When you have dry skin, this moisture is evaporating faster than your body is producing, so the oils will help seal-in the moisture that your body is producing. Moreover, with regular applications of dry skin products, your skin will think that it doesn't need to have your body produce as much water to help keep it moist. One effective way to keep dry skin hydrated is by decreasing the frequency, temperature and length of your baths and showers. Also avoid the use of harsh soaps when bathing or cleansing your face and always apply a moisturizing lotion to your entire body after bathing and before bedtime. Eat lots of fruits and drink plenty of water to replenish dehydrated skin.
