Dry skin can become more noticeable in low humidity, leading to discomfort like itching, flaking, and even cracking. Simple changes in your routine can make a difference. Here’s what dermatologists recommend:
Modify your baths and showers:
– Close the bathroom door to retain moisture.
– Use warm, not hot water.
– Keep your shower or bath brief, around 5 to 10 minutes.
– Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser.
– Apply enough cleanser to clean, avoiding excess lather.
– Gently blot your skin dry with a towel.
– Immediately apply moisturizer to lock in hydration after drying.
