How to treat your flaky dry skin

Flaky dry skin is super frustrating to deal with, but here are some cures I have discovered that help so far:

1. Start showering with warm water:

•  Showering with steamy hot water may feel good, but that hot water is not a good idea for dry skin.The problem is that hot showers strip your body of its natural oil barrier, and you need that barrier to help trap moisture and keep your skin smooth and moist.

2. Wash with a soapless cleanser when you shower:

•  Gentle soaps that are free of fragrance are the best option. 
• Products with deodorant or antibacterial additives can be harsh on skin which could cause the dryness. 
• Consider a cleanser that contains ceramics which are fatty molecules that make up the outer barrier of your skin, they help skin hold in moisture

3. When shaving: 

• Shaving can irritate dry skin. When you shave unwanted hair, you are also scraping off your natural oils. The best time to shave is after you shower because hairs are softer and more pliable after bathing, making shaving way easier.
• Always use a shaving cream or gel, and shave in the direction the hair is growing to protect your skin.
• Make sure the razor is sharp. A bad razor blade can cause worse irritation. Change your razor blades as often as you can because it could cause the irritation. If you are using a blade you've used before, soak it in rubbing alcohol to clean it well so it won't cause things such as ingrown hairs or inflammation. 

4. Sun:

• Sunlight is one of the main reason for dryness, wrinkles and roughness. 
• In the winter, you could dress in layers so that the cold does not dry up or irritate your skin.
• In the summer, wear an SPF 30 sunscreen.

5. MOISTURIZE:

• The simplest moisturizing products can soothe dry skin. A great option is Petroleum Jelly.
