Tips to soothe dry irritate skin

 



GO EASY ON CLEANING

Wash your face at least once daily.  If you find your skin dry and tight after washing 
don't wash multiple times a day.

TRY A THICKER MOISTURIZER

If that doesn't help also try changing your serums to cream versions.  You may also want to keep something like vaseline or Aquaphor to use throughout the day.

USE SUNSCREEN DAILY

This should be part of your daily routine.  I have a moisturizing sunscreen that I use daily. I love it because it does not leave a chalky film 

SCALE BACK ON RETINOL AND EXFOLIATION

If you have extremely dry skin exfoliation will irritate your skin more.

COMBAT DRY INDOOR AIR WITH A HUMIDIFIER

Your heater will dry out the air.  This is not ideal for dry skin.  I suggest a humidifier in your bedroom it will keep your skin happier. 


LIMIT TIME IN THE SHOWER

Long hot showers will dry your skin out.  Make your shower short using lukewarm water.

KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR  HIDDEN IRRITANTS

If your skin is dry and sensitive, please switch to fragrance-free detergent, dyer sheet, and body care products.

BE PATIENT WITH IRRITATED SKIN

Your skin barrier may be broken if you have dry sensitive skin.  It takes 3-4 weeks for this barrier to heal.
