 1. Avoid hot showers

A steamy shower definitely feels good, but hot water is never a good idea for people with dry skin. Hot showers can strip your body of natural oils, which you need to trap moisture and keep your skin moist and smooth. So, make sure to keep the temperature of your water down and avoid spending much time in the bathroom. Consider taking warm showers for up to 10 minutes and not more than that. Also, gently pat your skin dry using a microfiber towel. 

2. Gentle Cleansing

Make sure to wash your body using a soapless cleanser that is non-fragrant. Using body washes that contain deodorant or antibacterial additives can be harsh for your skin. You should also consider a face cleaner that contains ceramides to make up for the outer barrier of your skin to hold in moisture. Also, avoid using toners, face peels, and other astringents containing alcohol, as they can dry your skin. When exfoliating, avoid scrubbing too much and too hard, or your skin may get irritated. 

 3. Shave Properly

Most women prefer shaving their face and body hair to eliminate unwanted hair growth. If you are also one of those, make sure to shave after a shower. Your hair is softer and pliable after the shower, which makes shaving easier. Always use a shaving cream or gel to protect your skin. Also, purchase a moisturiser for dry skin and apply it after shaving your face. 

4. Do not forget Sunscreen

Sun damage is one of the most common factors behind dry skin and roughness. You can easily prevent it by applying a high SPF sunscreen and PA 3+, such as CIEL Brightening Sunscreen SPF 40. You should also consider dressing in layers to prevent perspiring and overheating as both can irritate your skin. Do not forget to sunproof your lips. You can do so either by using lip sunscreen or using the same sunscreen on your face.
