How to Take Care of Dry Skin

Fall is just around the corner which means the dry days of winter are approaching. When the furnace kicks on, skin dries out. Here are some tips for taking care of dry skin:

• Use thick, greasy moisturizers, particularly after a shower or bath. The thicker the moisturizer, the better the penetration and longer the moisturizing effect.
• Don't use skin care products that contain alcohol.
• Use a humidifier to increase moisture in the air.
• Drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated.
• Avoid long, hot showers or baths that can dry out skin.
