Care for dry skin

* Quite a lot of people complain that they have dry, rough skin. This can be due to a variety of reasons. Strong saps, not drinking enough water and an air-conditioned environment all dehydrate skin.

* Using a very hot water bathe also causes skin dryness. To prevent this, you should use lukewarm water only when showering. You should avoid using strong soap. Try to use one which is pH balanced. You can also apply an emollient cream to hydrate the skin.

* To have soft, fresh skin remove the outer layer of dead skin cells by rubbing a loofah or a washcloth in circular motions on your skin. This is called exfoliation.

* Eat a balance diet supplemented with vitamins A, C and E and drink plenty of water at least 8 to 10 glasses of water per day.

* Cut down on teat, coffee and alcoholic drinks which can cause water loss through an increase in urination.

* Allergies, hormonal imbalances, infection or stress can also cause skin disorders, consult your specialist or doctor if there is any abnormal bruising or also if suspicious moles appear.

* Having enough sleep is very important fr the skin. It is during our sleep that our skin regenerates it self.

* Always remember to remove makeup before going to bed.

* Another skin care tips is to exercise frequently. Exercise makes skin glow by encouraging blood circulation and increasing the oxygen supply. People who exercise regularly have better skin tone and texture and fewer wrinkles.
