We all suffer from dry skin at some point in out lives. There are plenty of things that can help to prevent it. In my previous post I mentioned that I suffer with oily skin, especially on my t-zone, I also suffer with dry skin, so you could say I have a combination skin type.
I have some things that I do for my oily skin, also some helpful tips for others who might have problems with combination skin.
- I use a light moisturiser on my face, I try not to get my t-zone as that gets too oily and I don't want it getting worse.
- On my body and hands I use a rich moisturiser because my skin gets really dry, especially on my knees and hands.
- After I've had a shower or bath I would put moisturiser all over my body, especially my problem areas.
- I always keep my hand cream with me, as my hands do get dry alot.
- I've heard petroleum jelly is very good at forming a barrier that prevents moisture from evaporating from the surface of your skin. It's a cheaper option for dry skin, if your on a budget.
- I use the Vaseline lip therapy on my lips, which makes my lips feel so soft afterwards and moisturised.
- Try and drink up to 8 glasses of water a day. I find this hard to keep up with and have been working on drinking more water, as I just tend to stick with a glass in a morning, then I just drink tea throughout the day.
- Another no brainer is to eat fruit and vegetables. I have started to eat a lot more recently as I want to lose some weight anyway, and whilst doing so, it will benefit my hair, skin and nails. So it's a win win.
- Take Vitamin E, which is an antioxidant that repairs and protects your skin.
- Don't over bathed as this can dry your skin out even more.
I hope you can take a few tips from this. It is hard work looking after ourselves, but it does make me feel better once I've treated my hair and skin to some TLC.
