Skin Care Chatter

Dry skin shouldn’t be treated as though it’s the end of the world, but it is a serious problem. Fine lines and wrinkles can result when the facial epidermis becomes dry and patchy. It might seem counterintuitive, but bathing can actually dry the skin out even further. That’s why simply scrubbing your face with soap and water can have a detrimental effect.

Try cutting down on the time you spend in a hot shower, as the heat actually deprives your skin of its natural moisture. Lotions and moisturizers also work as effective dry skin remedies. In rare cases, a prescription-strength cream could be warranted, but most people respond well to an over-the-counter moisturizer. If you live in a dry, hot region of the country, you’re even more susceptible to dry skin.
