Treatments for dry skin
Once you’ve figured out what might be causing your dry skin there are a number of different treatments. Most are extremely simple and require you to just tweak small aspects of your daily routine. For instance, we recommend that you try to have warm showers rather than hot baths if you can. We’re not saying that you can never enjoy a long, hot soak ever again but if you’re drying out your skin it’s simply not worth it. You need to treat your skin with care so don’t be too rough when you’re drying yourself and apply moisturiser whilst you’re still damp, rather than when you’re dry. If some of your clothes make you itch, try washing them with non-biological washing powder. If they’re still itchy, give them to charity and wear something else. You need to listen to your body and take action. If you’re a compulsive hand washer, try to monitor exactly how many times you’re washing your hands with soap and hopefully this will encourage you to cut down. Rather than using a perfumed soap, opt for a soap substitute or fragrance-free soap which is kinder on your skin.
