- Your skin can properly hydrate itself from the inside but to do this, you need to drink enough water each day. Try drinking around 64 ounces of water each day to help your body moisturize itself.
- Skip the long, hot showers in the winter. Instead of taking really hot showers for long periods of time, take shorter showers with warm water. Long, hot showers can draw moisture from your body thus causing dryness.
- Lotions, balms, and creams are your friend. A good lotion can create a barrier between the elements and your skin. For best results, apply your lotions, creams, or balms right after your shower.
- Get rid of dead, flaky, or dry skin by exfoliating regularly.
- Try avoiding washing and bathing with soaps that contain colors, harsh scents, and/or preservatives. These ingredients can irritate the skin.
- Furnaces and other heating devices commonly used during the winter can cause the air in your home and workplace to become dry which will in turn dry your skin. To counter the dry air produced by heating devices and appliances, use a humidifier. A humidifier can be beneficial to your skin because it will replace moisture in the air drawn out by heaters.
