What is dry skin?

While normal skin has a smooth and glowing appearance, dry skin looks dull and may be rough, scaly and prone to cracking.

How dry our skin is varies with age and genetic make-up, but dryness can also be caused by exposure to the sun and wind, air-conditioning, soaps and detergents, hot spas, baths and showers, and some medications.

What can you do about dry skin?

To repair dry and sensitive skin, replace soap with a gentle, pH-balanced soap-free cleanser and moisturise frequently. This will help to relieve tightness and improve your skin’s appearance.

Avoid exposure to the sun and wind, air-conditioning, hot water, soap and detergents as much as possible. Heated air may need humidifying, and radiators should be directed away from the skin. Wool and synthetic materials may also cause increased irritation.

Use a broad-spectrum moisturising sunscreen every day to help prevent the sun from drying your skin, paying particular attention to your face and the back of the hands. Protect dry lips with a moisturising lip balm with an added sunscreen.
