Treatment Goals
Understanding your dry skin
Your doctor will review the specific treatment goals for your dry skin condition, but they may include:
- Restoring moisture and maintaining lasting hydration
- Strengthening the skin’s natural moisture barrier
- Relieving symptoms (flaking, scaling, itching, rough patches)
- Establishing a skincare routine to replenish dry skin daily
HEALTHY HABITS
Healthy habits to maintain healthy-looking (and feeling) skin
Things to do:
Limit showers and baths to 10 minutes a day using lukewarm water
Moisturize immediately after bathing
Use mild, fragrance-free products
Excessive bathing, especially in hot water, washes away the skin’s natural protective oils and dehydrates the skin.
THINGS TO AVOID:
Too much sun exposure
Overbathing and overexfoliating
Harsh cleansers, soaps, and detergents
Prolonged sun exposure is one of the most damaging environmental factors for skin–and can lead to dryness, wrinkles, and skin cancer.
The causes–and contributing factors–of dry skin
Dry skin can happen to anyone, but you have a higher likelihood of developing it if you:
- Are 40+ years of age
- Live in certain climates (cold, windy, low humidity)
- Have a job that requires frequent handwashing
