If you reside in a country which experiences winter, or if you spend a lot of your time in air-conditioned places, you would probably notice that your skin is dry. The low humidity leads to moisture loss. Dry skin lacks oils and moisture, is usually thin with few or no visible pores and may appear scaly. Dry skin also lacks suppleness and may also feel tight after washing. Signs of ageing appear early for those with dry skin as well.
The first signs of premature ageing are dry and sagging skin, lines and wrinkles. The most common factors that cause premature ageing are exposure to the sun, insufficient water intake, poor diet and improper skin care.
Bathing with very strong soaps or going under the sun too often can also dry up the skin. If your skin condition is serious, it would be advisable to consult a doctor. If not, try changing some of your bathing habits. To protect the skin, bathe in warm water. However, taking too many baths a day to keep the skin moisturised will only worsen dry skin conditions. Instead, drink plenty of water to keep the body hydrated. Use milder or less soap when bathing.
Another way would be to apply oils, moisturisers or lotions to soothe and hydrate the skin by reducing evaporation. The best time to apply would be after a bath when skin is damp.
