Dry Skin Care
By Yoav Cohen

Is your dry skin itchy and flaky or cracking and peeling? While dry skin may indicate any of several skin disorders such as psoriasis or eczema, you may simply have skin that is badly in need of hydration. The epidermis, or outer layer of skin, is easily dehydrated, particularly in cold, windy weather or after extensive unprotected sun exposure. Flaky, itchy skin, itchy scalp, or scaling can result. Painful chaffing can appear on the skin.

These problems can be very annoying and uncomfortable, not to mention unattractive. Severely dehydrated skin can result in dermatitis, a common skin irritation. Dermatitis can be easily treated by your physician, but it is certainly unattractive and uncomfortable during an attack of dermatitis.

To cure your serious itchy, scaly skin problems, you must avoid cleaning the skin with hot water. Always cleanse itchy, flaky or cracked skin with lukewarm water. Using water that is too hot simply removes more of the important natural protective oils produced by the skin, resulting in more itching, cracking and flaking. While skin is still damp from cleansing, liberally apply a good quality moisturizing lotion or oil to the affected areas. There are lotions specifically formulated for itchy, cracking skin problems and are available at very affordable prices. If you believe your skin problem may be psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis or another of the many skin problems, you should consult with your doctor. But for every day, common dehydrated skin, regular use of moisturizing products applied twice per day should remedy the problems quickly.

If scaly, itchy scalp is your problem, cleanse hair thoroughly with moisturizing shampoo, rinsed well with tepid water. Follow this with a good quality moisturizing conditioner. If itchy, flaky scalp problems continue, you may need to seek the advice of your doctor to obtain a prescription formula shampoo to control the flaking.

Cure Dry Skin - Essential Steps And Ingredients
By David J Hallett

Skin needs help to maintain suppleness, and many of the better cosmetic manufacturers can help with supplemental boosters and heavyweight creams. Some boosters contain hyaluronic acid, which can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water.

The effect of such a booster will hydrate the skin, restore suppleness and therefore improve elasticity. Such boosters should also contain Panthenol, which can aid tissue repair. Additionally, Algae extracts are an important inclusion because they help to restore moisture balance.

Colder temperatures aren't the only factor that can affect the skin. A change in lifestyle activity, and diet habits proportionately affect skin condition. In the winter months, eating more and moving less can mean duller skin.

A product to supplement everyday moisturizer could contain ingredients such as Salicylic Acid, Hibiscus Extract and Lactic Acid. This combination has the effect of loosening debris on the skins surface.

Ingredients such as Chamomile, Aloe and Cornmeal will contribute toward skin rehydration.

Using a milder cleanser, preferably something milkier that will easily wipe off. Continuing with cleansers that wash off with water do very little to preserve the skins natural moisturising barrier. Take care when exfoliating your skin. It’s probably a good idea to exfoliate less regularly or switch to a more gentle product.

Avoid really hot showers and long soaks in the tub. These have a drying effect on the skin. It’s advisable to keep the water ‘lukewarm’ and try to keep rinse time to an absolute minimum.

Moisturising doesn’t just come from the outside. Don't forget that It’s really important to keep yourself well hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
