Kiss Dry Skin Good-Bye

Is your skin suffering from dryness and itching? Then here are some steps to follow to make your skin soft and wonderful.

1. Do not scratch – Apply moisturizer on itchy spots, do not scratch them.
2. Increase the intake of water – Drink at least 3 liters of water per day. Water not only gives your skin adequate moisture but also purifies it.
3. Do not wash your face often – Avoid washing our face frequently. This lessens the moisture on your face to making it drier. Use a gentle cleanser to wash your face.
4. Avoid bathing with hot water – Hot water makes your skin dry. Use lukewarm water either to wash your face or to take bath.
5. Add olive oil – Add a spoon of olive oil to your bath. This locks moisture and keeps your skin supple.
6. Apply moisturizer after bath – The pores of your skin open up after you take bath. Pat dry with a towel, do not rub. The skin absorbs the moisturizer completely if you apply it at this time.
7. Apply sunscreen when you are going out – Sun rays can also make your skin dry. It is best if you apply a moisturizing sunscreen with spf 20 or more.
