Dry Facial Skin

Dry facial skin is something we all dread, it is instantly noticeable and it doesn't look good to say the least. Persistent dry facial skin is often at its worst during the winter season, when the cold windy weather outside and low humidity can dry the skin of all its moisture leaving the skin in a bad state.

Ensuring you moisturise regularly, particularly during the winter is essential in preventing your skin from becoming dry and flaky. Other factors aside from moisturising also play a major role in ensuring your skin remains healthy in the worst of environmental conditions. Follow the advice given in this article, and whilst everybody else is suffering from bad winter skin, you needn't be.

One of the biggest mistakes people make in skincare is their bathing technique. It may sound a little strange to hear this, but how often you bathe and the way you bathe can really have a huge impact upon your skin. Bathing with hot water, harsh soaps and using scrubbing devices such as flannels can be one of the worst things for your skin, washing away its protective oils leaving it extremely dry. Instead, bathe with lukewarm water and a nice moisturising soap which won't dry your skin, and avoid using a flannel. Dry yourself by patting, not scrubbing.

Moisturise often, particularly after bathing or shaving, and especially before going outdoors. Retaining moisture is essential in helping your skin stay healthy, once it begins to lose moisture it is susceptible to becoming dry and flaky.
