If you have a dull and flaky skin, it’s because your skin is not able to retain the moisture. Yes, it is the main characteristic of dry skin. The skin looks pale and chaps off during extremes of weather – both high heat and over chillness.

The low moisture levels causes all the hell – chapping, itching, flaking and the skin gets pale.

Is there no solution to this? Of course, there is:

• Maintain the moisture content by regularly removing the dead cells – I mean ex foliate. Do not scrub much, use a soft skin brush
• Use a suitable cleanser and do not use a detergent based soap
• Do not wash in tap water – a dangerous enemy to dry skin; it causes more dryness. Instead, wash in mineral water
• Do use the right kind of moisture generously – all day long to keep your skin a little greasy.
• Of course, during summer – use a proper SUN PROTECTION FORMULA (SPF) lotion to ward you off the heat
• Do gently massage the skin with baby oil after a shower.

DO’s in diet for dry skin

• Cod liver Oil – Best for good skin health
• Drink a lot of water
• Eat nuts, garlic, onion & eggs – but check out on calories please!!!
• Beans and beef are good
• Avoid coffee and alcohol
• Say no to hot water

Dry skin is prone to acne, but don’t worry not as bad as the oily skin. But, be cautious of the early ageing of the dry skin.

Treat your skin like a baby, it will stay supple as long as you want.
