Opt for products for dry skin that are able to restore the skin's barrier function. Ideally, an emollient should be applied at least once or twice a day to the face and body. On the face, spread the treatment with your fingertips, smoothing from the centre of the face towards the edges of the face. Apply to the body with a light massage using the entire surface of your hand. An emollient works best applied in a thin layer to slightly damp skin. Apply it when you get out of the shower or bath, for example.
