How to cure a dry face and Body



Dry skin on the face and body is a common skin care problem. Dry skin can be itchy, unsightly and even painful. No matter how many expensive moisturizers you try, dry skin may seem impossible to cure. That is because moisturizer, although important, is not always the answer to dry skin. There are many factors that cause skin to become dry, and it is important to protect the skin from these harmful factors and to maintain a moisturizing skin care routine.

Instructions:

1. Wear sunscreen and protective gear when you are in the sun. Sun can be very drying to the skin. Protect skin by wearing a moisturizing sunscreen with at least an SPF 15. Not only will this combat the dry skin that you already have, but it will help prevent skin from becoming drier. Double up on your protection from the sun by wearing a sun hat or using an umbrella when in the sun for long periods of time.
2. Bathe and shower in lukewarm water. Hot water is very drying to skin. If you must take a hot bath, add moisturizing bath oils to the water.
3.  Use moisturizing soap or a cleansing cream when bathing or showering. Soap is drying to the skin and can be irritating. A moisturizing soap or cleansing cream will restore skin's moisture.
4. Drink plenty of water. Water hydrates the entire body, including the skin. Drinking water will keep skin moisturized and help cure your dry skin from the inside out.
5. Moisturize skin in the morning and in the evening. If skin is extremely dry, use a thick, oil-based moisturizer. If the skin is only moderately, dry use a lighter moisturizer. This will allow healthy new skin cells to grow and replace old dead ones.
6. Exfoliate the skin with an exfoliating face scrub weekly. Exfoliation removes dry dead skin cells and allows new ones to grow in their place.
