Dry Skin: How to Cure
The most common cause of dry skin is due to prolonged bathing and use of strong soaps.
How to treat:
1. Moisturize the skin-The moisturizer acts as a skin mask that helps maintain beautiful skin. If the skin is very dry you can apply oil, while the skin is still moist after bathing. The oil lasts longer on the skin than the moisturizer.
2. Avoid using harsh soaps - If you have dry skin, it is best to use cleansing creams, gentle skin cleansers, and bath or shower gels that include moisturizers. Choose a mild soap that adds oil and fats. Avoid deodorant and anti-bacterial detergents that are harsh.
3. Limit bath time-Bathing in hot water for a long time removes oils from your skin. Soak for 15 minutes or less. Just use lukewarm instead of hot water.
4. Moisturize the skin after bathing-After bathing, gently dab the towel to dry the skin to keep moisture in the skin. Moisturize the skin immediately with oil or cream to trap moisture in the skin.
5. Aircon helps - The warm feeling inside the house makes itching and peeling worse. Choose an aircon that fits your budget and needs. Make sure the aircon is always clean to prevent the formation of bacteria and fungi.
6. Use natural fabrics - Fabrics such as cotton, silk let your skin breathe. When washing clothes, use unscented soap.
7. If itching cannot be stopped if the skin is dry - Apply a cold compress to the affected skin.
Consult a dermatologist if the condition worsens
