Solving the dry skin problem
The solution?
When youre jumping in the shower use warm or more tepid water a soft cloth and a soft soap that doesnt strip away your bodys oils Anne said.
She emphasized the importance of a mild soft soap. Harsher soaps strip the skin of oils that provide necessary moisture.
Avoid using a lot of soap. I always tell people struggling with dry skin to only wash the most necessary parts of the body Anne said.
That means you get a free pass on washing areas like arms and legs.
If your kids are suffering from dry skin Anne said bathing them less frequently is not only OK but also encouraged.
She also suggested slathering on the lotion as soon as you get out of the shower or get the kids out of the bath.
Any petroleumbased product like Vaseline or Eucerin works for adding moisture Anne said.
If youve tried overthecounter products like a mild hydrocortisone and still have no relief thats when a doctor can step in and provide something a little bit stronger Anne said.
Dry skin is usually nothing serious but it certainly is no fun. Taking a few simple steps can make dealing with dry skin nothing to even think about.
