Do you suffer from dry itchy skin? If so, you know what it's like for your skin to feel too tight. You might also have dry, rough patches on your face, along with flaking, peeling or scaling in some areas.
Dryness and itching probably aren't your only problems. Dry skin is also more likely to wrinkle and develop fine lines. But there are ways to deal with the dryness, and leave your skin smooth, soft and hydrated.
Moisturize
Using the right moisturizer is important for everyone, especially those with dry skin. Not only does moisturizer help to hydrate your skin, it also keeps moisture from escaping. So you should use a moisturizer formulated for dry skin every day. You should also apply moisturizer right after you wash your face, to lock in as much moisture as possible.
And, remember, cold weather can make skin dry and itchy. So, before you go outside on a cold day, apply a little more moisturizer to protect your skin from the elements.
Avoid Water Whenever Possible
You might like going for long swims, but your dry skin won't. Going for long swims will rob your skin of oils. But, if you do swim, apply a moisturizer as soon as you get out of the pool.
Also, washing your face more than once a day might be too drying for you. Maybe you were taught you should wash at least twice a day, in the morning and before you go to bed at night. But if your skin is itchy and dry, washing once a day will be enough.
Use the Right Soap or Cleanser
Using a soap or cleanser that is too harsh could be drying your skin out. And using one that contains the wrong ingredients could be causing some of your itching. If your face feels dry and tight after you wash it, you are using the wrong soap or cleanser.
Make sure you use soaps and cleansers that are mild and gentle, and made especially for dry skin. You should also use products that are hypoallergenic.
Buy a Humidifier
Hot weather, or spending a lot of time indoors in a place where there is central heating, could be drying out your skin.
A humidifier will add moisture to the air in your home, and help keep your skin from drying out. So place a humidifier in the room where you spend most of your time during the day, and then move it to the bedroom at night.
Keeping your dry itchy skin hydrated and moisturized is the first step to preventing find lines and wrinkles.
