Having Dry Skin Winter?

February 17th, 2010 by Mary | No Comments | Filed in Relax

Cold weather can contribute to dry skin. So what can help? The American Osteopathic College of Dermatology offers these suggestions to help prevent dry skin:

Bathe no more than once daily, sticking to short (no more than 15 minutes) baths or showers with lukewarm water. Use a mild soap or gentle cleanser that won’t dry the skin. Avoid deodorant soaps. Don’t scrub the skin while bathing or drying. Apply a rich moisturizer as soon as you get out of the bath or shower. Use sunscreen daily. Use laundry detergent without fragrance, and avoid fabric softeners. Run a humidifier at home during the winter months.

Stay healthy,

Mary
