Dry Skin Type & Care

The issue of dry skin is a common one and occurs more often in cold weather, like during winter, when cold air outside and heated air inside cause low humidity. This results in the loss of essential moisture from the skin and causes it to crack, peel, or become irritated and inflamed. Excessive bathing with harsh soaps also contributes to dry skin as does skin conditions like Eczema.

A healthy, balanced diet containing lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and a daily hydration therapy of 7-8 glasses of water works wonders for combating the stress on dry skin with equal goodness imparted from eight hours of sleep, exercise in fresh air and moisturizing thoroughly.
