Dry skin can affect anyone at any age, but for some it can be extremely problematic. Dry skin can occur for a number of reasons, but there are solutions for those who are losing too much water or oil in their skin. Here are some simple solutions which can help to alleviate dry skin problems.
It’s important to recognize whether there are any environmental factors that could be causing dry skin. Such as living in a dry environment or swimming in a pool with too much chlorine can cause skin to become dry and irritated. If you do happen to live in a dry environment especially during the winter then investing in a humidifier can also help to protect your skin from dryness.
For some people the cause can be more difficult to determine and it is helpful to look towards making some changes in your diet by increasing your intake of foods rich in omega 3 oils such as avocados, walnuts, wild salmon and flax seed. Replacing harsh soaps with ones that are gentler and more hydrating can help to restore balance to your skin. Changing the temperature of your shower from hot to warm water and using a natural moisturizer enriched with shea butter or coconut oil (to name a few) immediately after is also vital to helping your skin maintain as much moisture as possible. Adding Hyaluronic Acid to your skin routine will also protect against transepidermal water loss.
To ensure your skin remains healthy, happy and glowing, it’s important to consult with a skin care professional.
