The Best Creams For Getting Rid Of Dry Skin

Dry Skin affects many older people, particularly on their lower legs, elbows, and forearms. The skin feels rough and scaly and often is accompanied by
a distressing, intense itchiness. Low humidity ? caused by overheating during the winter and air conditioning during the summer ? contributes to dryness and itching. The loss of sweat and oil glands as you age also may worsen dry skin. Anything that further dries your skin ? such as overuse of soaps, antiperspirants, perfumes, or hot baths ? will make the problem worse. Dehydration, sun exposure, smoking, and stress also may cause dry skin. Check out this page for detailed information on creams for getting rid of dry skin.

Finding the best moisturizers for dry skin can be a problem if you rely on the adverts in magazines or on TV. Advertising is expensive and products that are heavily promoted tend to have a pricetag that reflects that cost. To keep their costs down some companies will use cheaper synthetic ingredients and some of these ingredients such as alcohols can cause irritation for people with dry skin.

The best moisturizers for dry skin use natural ingredients which are kind to your skin and have no harmful side effects. One example is Maracuja
which is extracted from passion fruit. Maracuja is rich in linolenic acid which acts to nourish and revitalize your skin and also prevents it from
becoming too dry. Other ingredients that have been mentioned in previous posts are Babassu and Xtend-TK. So look out for these ingredients if you want to find the best moisturizers for dry skin.

Why Is Skin Hydration Important?

Skin hydration may not be something you think about very often, but we are all familiar with its opposite – dehydration. When we are dehydrated our bodies are suffering from a lack of liquids and this can have a dangerous effect on our health. For example our kidneys require large quantities of water to enable them to function correctly. What is not generally realised is that our skin is the largest organ in our bodies and when it becomes dehydrated the result is dry and peeling skin. So skin hydration is important if we wish to retain a smooth and healthy skin.

The Truth About Dry Skin Care

The first step in dry skin care is to discover the cause. We are all familiar with the appearance of dry flaking skin which is both unsightly and can lead to irritation, but you need to find out what is causing the problem before you can decide what is the best way to treat the condition.

Our bodies produce a natural oil which helps our skin retain its moisture and it is the lack of this
natural oil that results in areas of dry skin. One of the main causes of dryness is excessive exposure to
the sun, but it can also be caused by cold weather conditions or a biting wind.

Other causes include washing too frequently with a harsh soap or using cosmetics made from synthetic chemicals. Some pharmaceutical drugs can be the reason why dry skin care is required. Equally you may be someone for whom this is their natural skin type.

Coping with the environmental factors of sun and cold is simple enough. Wear appropriate clothes to keep covered and use a sunscreen for your face. If you think that a drug or medicine you are taking might be responsible, consult your pharmacist for advice.

Once you have dealt with any aspects of your lifestyle that might have been the cause of your problem, you will need to establish a dry skin care routine. Regular gentle cleansing without using any soap on your face and then dry by gently patting with a towel. Then apply a moisturizing cream while your skin is still damp. Make sure the moisturizer you use is made from natural products such as shea butter or grapeseed oil.
