Dry skin is a common issue even among people with chronically oily skin. It is a major deterrent to your beauty goals. It’s normal to have sometimes but, getting it too frequently means you need to pay closer attention.
Recommended tips and tricks to vanish dry skin.
Put an end to the painful and shameful dry, flaky skin. Turn the odds around in favor of achieving healthier skin by trying the following top 6 ways to end the dry spell for good:
Exfoliate and scrub.
Don’t be so surprised that these two makes the top recommendation to relieve skin dryness fast. Initially, exfoliating and scrubbing can cause skin to dry out. If you have a good quality (not necessarily expensive) moisturizer to follow through these processes, however, the dryness should be gone in just as short as 24 hours.
These two processes forces a skin cell turnover, thereby cutting the time it normally takes for your skin to naturally slough off the top layer so that the smoother, silker deeper layer can rise to the surface. When it does, your skin is in a healthier state and is better able to capture and hold on to moisture.
Use petroleum jelly.
In recent years, petroleum jelly has been getting plenty of bad publicity. Whereas it was once the staple household all-around remedy, now, nobody wants to touch it. Let’s set the record straight, shall we? Here are some quick facts about petroleum that you have to know right now:
• Petroleum and its derivatives are likely to clog your pores. However, if you are concerned about dry skin, using it on areas other than your face should be fine.
• Petroleum jelly in itself is non-toxic. The real problem is the risk of it becoming contaminated by toxic and carcinogenic chemicals, such as 1,4 dioxane, during the manufacturing process. Therefore, you need only be selective on which brand to use. Based on a review of the Nivea Petroleum Jelly by the Environmental Working Group, this particular brand is safe and non-toxic
• Petroleum jelly is very capable of giving your skin a powerful moisture boost. That’s because it does more than just moisturize your skin. It provides your skin with an impenetrable layer of protection that allows your damaged outer skin barriers to recover as it prevents surface water loss.
Gobble up water and plenty of fresh smoothies.
When you are trying to relieve skin dryness, remember that you cannot just rely on topical applications, rather you have to consider hydrating from within too. That’s why you need to drink more water. You know what’s better than pure water? Make yourself plenty of fruit and veggie smoothies that are packed with moisture, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants — all of which help hydrate your skin and also protect it.
Get enough sleep.
Give yourself plenty of rest and sleep. Sleeplessness and stress are two of the primary causes of skin dryness. Sleep buys your cells enough time to carry out repairs on damages sustained by them, that includes your skin. So go ahead and sleep in.
Install a humidifier in indoor environments.
At home and at the office, a humidifier will help you have more control of the moisture content of air indoors. When there is enough water droplets in the air, the surroundings will not have to suck out the moisture from your skin. Other than relieving your skin of dryness, you will also notice that you’re less vulnerable to colds and dry throats once you have a humidifier set up.
Change your routine.
No less than the American Academy of Dermatology makes the recommendation that altering your skincare regimen between seasons is a must: “Following the same skin care routine year round may not work so well when the humidity drops. Without a change in your skin care, dry air can make fine lines and wrinkles more noticeable.”
In general, your skincare regimen in summer must consist of lightweight, non-greasy formulas. In contast, your skincare regimen in winter must be made of heavier creams and, ideally, you should even layer your moisturizers so that you have a set that is instantly absorbed by your skin (ideally your serums), and another consisting of your heavy emollients.
