Cream for Dry Skin
Dry skin needs help. Xeroderma as dry skin is known means flaking, scaling, and even peeling skin that itches uncomfortably. No one wants this aggravation, but finding the right cream for dry skin can be tough.
Xeroderma can be caused in the winter by the cold air outside and the warm heated air inside creating a low relative humidity. Skin begins to lose moisture, and it may flake, peel and crack.
The most important cream for dry skin is the one that contains sunscreen. While you might need to find additional moisturizes to use you need to always use sunscreen to protect against exposure to the sun. Not only can the sun dry out your skin, but too much time unprotected out of doors leads to a risk of skin cancer.
To choose the right cream for dry skin it’s a good idea to know why you’re having the problem. There are many issues that can cause dry skin.
If your oil glands don’t supply enough lubrication to the skin then use oil based cream for dry skin under powder or foundation.
When dry skin is due to a genetic condition seeking help from a dermatologist is the best bet to treat the condition.
When the skin is exposed to the elements in winter use light oil based cream for dry skin. Keep the skin from getting wet while out of doors.
When the skin is exposed to the heat of summer use a water based cream for dry skin and steer clear of using oil based foundation or sunscreen.
If a poor diet is causing your dry skin then certain change eating habits if possible, but some cream for dry skin contains vitamin A and B vitamins, which contribute to dry skin.
When dry skin is a problem don’t use tap water to clean the face if possible. There might be deposits too drying for your skin. Avoid hot water on the face even in the shower. Some people use a spray bottle to apply mineral water to freshen up the face then pat the skin lightly dry with a clean towel. Only use a night cream for dry skin at night and never wear it during the day.
