Dry skin relief

Dry skin can flake, itch, crack, and even bleed. To help relieve dry skin, dermatologists offer these tips: -Keep baths and showers short. -Apply moisturizer after getting out of the bath or shower. -Read ingredients on skin care products. -Use a humidifier to add much-needed moisture to the air. -Wear soft fabrics that breathe, such as 100 percent cotton. -Don't skimp on hand washing. -Apply hand cream after each hand washing. If these tips do not bring relief, make an appointment to see a dermatologist. Very dry skin may require a prescription ointment or cream. Dry skin also can be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as eczema. https://www.aad.org/public/skin-hair-nails/skin-care/dry-skin-relief
