Bookmark This Guide to Make Sure You'll Never Suffer From Dry Skin Again
Whether you suffer from dry skin all the time or only during the colder months, you know that it's so much more than a simple nuisance: It can feel itchy, tight, even painful, plus it can look unsightly, causing redness, visible flakes and uneven texture. Fortunately, there are science-backed ways of relieving, improving, and preventing dry skin on both the face and body, including dermatologist-recommended skincare tips and products with proven benefits.
First things first, you'll need to identify what's causing your dry skin. "Cold and windy conditions may dehydrate your face due to lack of humidity in the environment, and dryness can also be caused by irritating products that can strip natural oils, like those with alcohol, astringents and harsh acids," says dermatologist Jeanine Downie, M.D. of Image Dermatology in Montclair, New Jersey. You may also be over-cleansing or exfoliating, or you could have a skin or health condition that cause skin dehydration, such as atopic dermatitis/eczema, psoriasis and diabetes.
Scheduling a visit to your dermatologist will help determine the cause — and once you know the culprit, there are a ton of things you can do at home to help sooth your skin.
