Treatments For The Dry Skin

by Simran Ch TCM-Salon Dubai

The daily grind we have to go to, we barely get enough time to look after ourselves. Leaving us with dry and itchy skin that just not feels uncomfortable to touch but looks unattractive too. In winters however, the dry skin becomes more prominent and drier. If you have an extreme dry skin and looking for a solution, don’t worry. You’ve come to the right place. Following are the best ways to treat your extreme dry skin.

 

Don’t Shower With Very Hot Water

Hot showers in winters are a blessing but not for your skin since hot showers can negatively affect the softness of your skin. They strip off the natural oils and nutrients from the body and wash them away which is why in winters, after a hot shower out skin appears dry. Instead, shower with warm water. It’s healthy for the skin. Also don’t hang in the shower too much. 10 minutes of scrubbing is enough.

 

Wear A Sun Mask In Summers & Lip Balm In Winters

Summers are a great time to go out and enjoy but the hot July sun can greatly affect your skin. It can cause wrinkles and other skin damage. On extreme sunny days, don’t go out without wearing a sun mask. Sun masks with SPF-30 protect against the Ultraviolet rays of the sunshine and blocks them from entering your skin hence preventing a lot of damage to your skin. Plus it smells good too. So why not?

 

Cambio quotes,

"dress in layers to prevent overheating and perspiring excessively; both can irritate the skin."

 

In Winters, since there is no hot temperature, the extreme chill weather can cause skin to dry and lips. Make sure to moisten your skin and moisten your lips using a lip balm

 

Tackling Winters

Winters are deceiving. There is moderate temperatures yet it causes skin to dry off. Heating sitting rooms or lounges further removes moisture from the air causing dry skin to become even more dry. First of all, use a humidifier to get pure humid-less air to breathe in. It also helps retaining the moisture of the air.

 

Moisture Your Skin

Moisture your skin. Without proper moisture, your skin can appear very dry. Petroleum jelly is an effective natural moisturiser. If you want something more fancy, look for shea butter or glycerin enriched moisturisers. They help retain the natural oils & keep the skin smooth and pulpy.

 

Using Proper Skincare

Using cheap skincare cosmetics or cosmetics enriched with chemicals can cause a great deal of damage to your skin. Instead choose something that is much more Natural. Skincare products made of glycerin or petroleum jelly are a right step to take. Another natural moisturiser is Vaseline. It creates a protective barrier that retains the moisture and prevents the dryness on skin. Using cheap soaps and moisturisers in return harm your skin making it appear dry and dull. Instead of moisturising your skin, itd takes away the moisture.

 

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a tropical blessing, from hair to skin, nothing it cannot treat. Plus the scent is wonderful too unlike most oils. Coconut oil is just as good for your skin as it is for your hair. This is because it absorbs verily slowly into skin and moisturising your skin to the core.

 

Drink Lots of Lots of water

Last but not the least is the most obvious of all. As we grow up to be adults, the less focused we get towards our diet and water intake. Water hydrates your body and controls body fluids. Don’t swap water with other alternatives like coffee or drinks. Long story short, less water means more drier skin so drink at least 8 glasses of water to maintain a natural balance and to keep your body hydrated.
