Pictures of Dry Skin – How To Treat Dry Skin

Dry itchy skin is not only unsightly, but can be painful at times…especially during the cold, dry winter months. So how do you treat dry skin? First of all…………

Stop Using Soap –

• One of the most common reasons for dry skin is using the wrong soap. The best soap for dry skin should be pH balanced. This means that your facial cleanser cream and your body wash should have a pH that measures around 7 which is neutral.
  
  

  The pH measures the how acidic or alkaline your cleanser is. Normal healthy skin is usually in the range of 4.2 to 5.6 and a good facial cleanser cream should also be within this range. At this level, the acid mantle (the skin surface) is in good condition and is able to protect the skin from dehydration and other damaging elements of the environment like wind, sun or bacteria. A pH below 7 is considered more acidic and above 7 is more alkaline.





Stop Using Hot Water –

• The American Academy of Dermatology strongly suggests that those suffering from dry skin stop using hot water as it can remove what little skin oils there is left on the skin. Warm or cool water is best -- although as we all know it’s not as relaxing as a steaming hot shower or bath!!




Lubricate Before Shaving –

• Shaving the face or legs without lubrication will only irritate and further dry out the skin. It’s good practice to apply a small amount of shaving cream, moisturizer, or even hair conditioner before shaving to protect the skin.




Limit Water Exposure –

• While taking long showers or soaking baths helps to hydrate the skin briefly, the water soon evaporates leaving the skin even drier than before.




Moisturizer Right After Ever Bath/Wash –

• Applying a water trapping ointment right after washing the skin helps to keep it hydrated by trapping in the moisture. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends applying a botanical homeopathic moisturizer that offers a unique trans derma deliver system so it can penetrate and hydrate more deeply that typical moisturizers. We highly recommend and love ZENMED Botanical Moisturizer

  The best lotions for dry skin are ones that won’t rub or wipe off right after you apply it. And the quality of your dry skin lotion so it won’t cause breakouts, clog pores, or cause puffy bags under the eyes.
