Dry, Scaly, or Irritated Skin

If your skin is continually dry, scaly, or irritated, it may warrant professional help, however, in many cases it stems from easily avoidable culprits.

Marathon Showers – You should be in and out of the shower, using a warm temperature, not scalding hot – no 45-minute-long showers.

Drying Soaps – Non-soap cleansers should be used (bar soap will strip the nutrients from your skin and leave it dry and scaly).

Moisturizer Application – After showering, your window of opportunity to stop the evaporation of water from the skin is approximately three minutes. Ideally, you should use moisturizer on your face and hands every time they come out of the water.

Sun Worship – The sun depletes the skin of moisture, consequently, wearing a daytime moisturizer that contains sunscreen is ideal. Tanning booths also dehydrate the skin.

Using the Correct Moisturizer for the Season – A lotion that’s adequate in the mild summer months may not be sufficient for the fall/winter months, thus, leaving your skin vulnerable to dryness. A moisture-rich cream should be used daily (sometimes two or three times daily) during the winter.
