Don’t shower too long.
|
|
Water exposure can lead to dry skin and hair. Keep showers to five minutes or less.
|
|
|
Pat-dry. It is gentler for your skin.
|
|
How you dry off is just as important as how you bathe. To prevent dry skin from getting worse, pat down your skin with a towel.
|
|
|
Stay cool.
|
|
Hot water strips away natural oils and damages the skin faster, so stick to a lukewarm — or cooler — shower.
|
|
|
Moisturise.
|
|
Apply moisturizer right away, within two to three minutes of showering. Doing it quickly helps create a barrier to prevent transepidermal water loss and keep the skin plump.
|
|
|
Cleanse with care.
|
|
Use a moisturizing body wash to keep your skin healthy and hydrated, as traditional soap can strip the oil from your skin.
