Dry skin usually occurs or worsens in the winter months when the air is particularly dry, in our homes, which leads to the moisture in our skin evaporating into the dry air. A heating blanket may also dry out your skin in the winter months, especially if the bedroom is not adequately humidified. Also, wool clothing and blankets can sometimes irritate the skin and may increase itching. It is important not to scratch your skin, because this will further irritate the agitated area.
Effective skin care products and methods to treat and prevent severely dry, winter skin:
1. For the face, try a light textured moisturizer to hydrate and soften skin without clogging pores. Another great option, especially for dry patches, the delicate eye area, lips, and cuticles is a hydrating serum. This nourishing serum delivers the super hydration benefits of hylauronic acid to soothe, smooth and plump. We suggest wearing hydrating serum under moisturizer for extremely dry skin.
2. Use moisturizing skin cream or extra strength moisturizing skin cream to add moisture back into your dry skin.
3. Soaking in a bath with bath oil, for 15 to 20 minutes, is helpful because it adds moisture back into the skin. Showering tends to wash off your own body oil and makes you drier. Pat, don't rub, yourself off after the bath.
4. Glycolic lotions (alpha hydroxyl acids) may be used to exfoliate and slough off the dead skin cells while hydrating and smoothing the skin.
