- Wash your skin once a day. If you have dry skin, washing your face more than once a day is probably
- not
a good idea. At night, before going to bed, remove the make up, and
wash your skin from the dirt and sweat. In the morning it is acceptable
just to refresh the skin on the face with a splash of warm water.
Remember to finish with moisturizer.
-
- Choose your cleanser carefully. If your skin is dry it gets
even dyer if you don’t use the right cleanser. Try using light cleanser
for dry skin, make sure that you look for one that does not contain
sodium laurel or laureth sulfate. Instead of a store-bought cleanser you
can use oil as a cleanser. You should wet your face and apply your oil
(almond, olive, jojoba, coconut, etc.). Use a washcloth to rub your face
in a circular motion, then rinse away the oil with warm water.
- Regularly remove dead skin. If your skin is prone to flaking
as a result of extreme dryness you should exfoliate at least once a
week. However, you should exfoliate it without drying it out
additionally or irritating it. If it is extremely dry the best way to
exfoliate it is by using oil. Dip a washcloth or soft towel into oil (of
your choice) and rub it into the face using a circular motion. Using a
scrub brush is not recommended.
- Rinse with lukewarm water. If you rinse your dry skin with
hot water, or if you use too much water it will get even dryer. So the
best solution is to use only a splash or two of warm water, or simply
wipe it with a moist towel.
Use a rich moisturizer. Since natural or handmade
moisturizers don’t contain chemicals that can cause irritation and
dryness, they are best for keeping dry skin looking fresh and hydrated.
You should use a moisturizer that contains shea butter, coco butter, or
another rich, emollient ingredient that will protect your skin from
drying out.
