How to Get Rid of Dry Skin: 7 Expert Tips for Winter Skin Care

 How to get rid of dry skin?

Skin dryness usually occurs when skin’s oil glands don't produce enough natural oils this causes the skin to lose moisture resulting in dehydrated skin. It is an uncomfortable condition marked by skin flaking, tightness, and cracking. A person might have dry skin naturally or even if their skin is naturally oily, it can become dry from time to time because of reasons like taking long hot showers, using harsh soaps, not moisturizing the skin enough, due to some medical conditions and even aging makes the skin lose its elasticity making it thin and dry.

Drier the atmosphere, drier the skin thus dry skin problems worsen in the winter season, and winter skincare routines are mostly based on products that specifically hydrate the skin. We have listed ahead the best skincare tips to protect your skin from the harshness of cold weather and how to get rid of dry skin.

Moisturize Religiously:

Moisturizing your skin is important whether you have oily skin, combination skin with dry patches on the face or other areas of your skin, or dry skin overall, but it is a must for people with dry skin to use moisturizer religiously especially during winters, and don’t forget moisturizing the dry skin around eyes.

Make sure to moisturize your skin after a bath and before going to bed. It is important to take into consideration that you use a dermatologist-recommended moisturizer according to your skin type rather than using a cosmetic lotion. Dermive Oily moisturizer is a moisturizer for dry skin formulated by Jenpharm, which increases the skin’s ability to hold moisture without making it greasy.

Apply Sunscreen:

Sun baths and sitting under the sun might sound appealing to a lot of people during winters to counter the cold. But such activities can result in severe skin problems ranging from sunburns to severe skin dryness which may cause problems like eczema.

It is important to always use sunscreen when stepping out into the Sun, whether it is Summers or Winters to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays from the Sun. We recommend using Jenpharm’s Spectra Block SPF60 or Spectra Block Max SPF100 according to weather harshness and your exposure to it.

Cleanse Gently:

Cleansing your skin of dirt, pollutants, and dead skin cells is very important for keeping your skin healthy, fresh, and glowing. But when dealing with dry skin it’s important to use facial cleansers that are specifically formulated to cater to dry skin, are gentle on the skin, and don’t rip the skin off of essential oils.

Maxdif Facewash is a scientifically baked facewash, formulated by jenpharm to cater to all skin types, contains Vitamin C to counter the dullness due to skin dryness.

Exfoliate Weekly:

Dead skin cells gather on the surface of the skin, making skin look dull and dried up. If you are suffering from dry skin make exfoliating face masks a part of your skincare regime. Exfoliating immediately makes skin look smooth and fresh, and with continuous use it makes skin glow.  

Hydrate your body:

Dryness of skin is a consequence of insufficient water intake. It reduces the water content within the cells of the body especially skin cells leading to dry and dull-looking skin, lack of water also increases the rate of death among cells causing severe skin issues.

It’s important to intake an adequate amount of water daily. Nutritionists suggest a daily intake of at least 2.5 liters of water.

Avoid hot showers:

Hot showers cause damage to keratin cells in the outer layer of the skin causing skin dryness and irritation. They can even worsen skin conditions like eczema as hot temperatures dry out the skin. Rather than using hot water for showering or bathing it’s recommended to use lukewarm or cold water.

Use Dermatologist recommended products:

Every skin care specialist agrees when dealing with extremely dry skin it is of utmost importance to use skincare products that are recommended by dermatologists and clinically proven. Using the wrong products or products that don’t sit well with your skin type can worsen your skin conditions.
