Causes of Dry Skin
In order to avoid the many activities that jeopardize your skin’s health, it is important to identify the many factors which results to the unwanted condition. (Here’s where you can find more detailed information on skin care and skin lightening cream.)
Avoid Using Soaps with Harsh Ingredients – Regular soaps such as anti-bacterial and deodorant soaps, which are non-moisturizing, dehydrate the skin and rob your integument with essential oils which locks moisture from your body.
Products containing alcohols also dissolve skin lipids and cause the skin’s moisture to evaporate resulting to skin dryness. Water and oil-based products are perfect for your skin. Use Dove Olay and other soap substitutes available at your local drugstore.
Washing with Hot Water – Although water is an effective moisturizing agent, it also strips your skin with valuable oils or lipids which are responsible for retaining moisture from your skin.
Frequent bathing, especially with hot water, removes valuable oils and exposes your skin to infections by destroying your body’s first main line of defense. (Here’s where you can find more detailed information on skin care and stretch mark removal cream.)
Once this is lost, your skin will become more prone to organic attacks by pathogens and sometimes cause irreversible damage to your skin.
