Skin Care Chatter

Dry skin care can be a meticulous daily process, yet imperative for having a healthy life.  Before you go out and buy the necessary products, use this list to determine whether you have dry skin or not:

• skin has a rough and dry texture instead of smooth
• a loss of plumpness – skin appears shrunken or dehydrated
• skin is dull in appearance
• after showering, bathing, or swimming the skin feels and looks tight
• flaking, scaling, or peeling of the skin is quite common
• itchy feeling which is sometimes intense (so intense it may interfere with proper sleep)
• calloused (toughened) skin
• normal fine lines or wrinkles in the skin become much more visible
• severe redness, inflamed areas, or tenderness in the skin
• cracks in skin or deep cuts that may bleed which are signs of extremely dry skin.
