There are a few things you can do to soothe dry skin. First, make sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Then, take a look at the skincare products you’re using and ditch anything that’s too harsh or stripping including scrubs and chemical exfoliants. A gentle cleanser and moisturizer are the basis to a good skin routine. If you find that your skin is red and irritated as a result of dryness, go for formulas that have soothing ingredients such as aloe and ceramides.
