Treating Dry Skin

Leah Cook just got in from skiarea and was filling in her friend Anna Moreno about the miserable problems she had with dry and cracked skin from the frigid winds. Anna told her that she had the same skin problem at Pila, Italy. An very experienced skiier laid out the three tricks to keep your skin in good condition in nasty winter weather. She expects to use that on her trip to Thollon-les-Memises, France coming up next month.

Winter is the roughest time for our skin. A huge number of people are plagued with itchy, dry, rough and painful skin. Flocking out to the nearest market to find the most well known healing lotions and creams to help eliminate the irritation and heal the flaking for moments of relief. The bad news is most people are missing the most needed and cheap ways to not only get the help you need for dry, chapped and cracked skin, but also can go a long way to prevent it.

Bodies are made up mostly of water. For some reason, in the winter months, we don’t think of the need the body has of drinking enough water. During summer, when we are sweating and doing summer sports, we we feel how much we need to drink lots of water to replace the same amount of water that we have lost. During the winter the frigid air does much the same to our body. It sucks that moisture right out of us. This then dries out our skin, leaving it dry and itchy. Making sure that you take in 8 to 10 glasses of water a day will improve the chances in the battle over dry and cracked skin. Try it for the next two weeks and you will undoubtedly see a definite difference in your skin in just a few days.

Speaking of the importance of moisture, a good moisturizing lotion is also a good idea. Try to get one that fits for your skin type so that you aren’t going to end up with oily skin. I recommend a cream instead of a lotion in cold weather, because a cream is thicker and more protective of the skin. You should also spend a moment or so and read the label. The cream or lotion that you use in the summer probably won’t be appropriate in the winter. Stay away from a cream or lotion with alcohol in the first few ingredients, as alcohol is a drying agent, just what you dont’ want.

Dress the right way in the cold. Don’t just write this one off, consider it carefully. The more bare skin that you have increases the opportunity that the cold air has to remove the moisture. Layer your clothes and let that first layer be clothes that are made out of cotton. Cotton will let you skin breathe, will keep you warm and won’t irritate your skin.

Try out these three easy steps, you will not only notice a big improvement in that really dry skin, an not only that you will also prevent your skin from becoming dry. Plenty of water, the right moisturizing cream for your skin type and the right clothing and you will have healthy, well hydrated, comfortable skin covering you.
