I am a person who have dry skin because I never bothered to mosturize until I I was in my mid 20’s. So, I’m sharing with you some info I’ve read…

Here are some reasons that causes dry skin:

• cold weather and low humidity
• central heating system
• aging due to lower estrogen level and the fact that our skin do not produce as much oils
• other reasons include dehydration, malnutrition, diabetes, eczema and low thyroid hormones

How to treat Dry Skin?

1. If you use lukewarm water, do not take long showers or baths
2. Apply moisturizer while skin is still damp to seal in the moisture
3. Use mild soap like Dove and avoid perfumed soap
4. If you could afford one, use a humidifier at home
5. Avoid skin care products that contain alcohol
6. Don’t wash your face too frequently
7. Wear Sunscreen
8. Use Moisturizers that contains emolients such as urea and mineral oils which can provide a barrier to keep moisture in and harmful agents out
