1
Drink Lots of Water
Nothing works for the skin like water. Drink as much as you conveniently can. Doctors recommend eight glasses which is about two litres of water as a minimum per day but you can drink more as our body can process a lot more than that. The more water you drink, the cleaner your system is inside and that has a very good effect on your skin. -
2
Moisturise
Use moisturisers on your skin on a daily basis when your skin has dried up. They will help in providing the skin with much needed nourishment and will make it moist again. There are separate ones available for the body and the face as these parts have certain differences in the skin. So make sure that you have both types and you use them accordingly. -
3
Avoid Hot Showers
Having hot showers can be bad for your skin and can be the main cause of drying it as well. Taking a hot shower can be fun but if done for too long, it will take the moisture away from your skin. You do not need to stop the hot shower altogether but limit the time that you spend in them. -
4
Do not Over Exfoliate
There is nothing wrong with exfoliating as you are getting rid of dead cells that are not good for your skin. But if you do it excessively, you will damage your skin by hurting the healthy cells in the process. Do not exfoliate more than twice a week so that your skin remains in good shape and you only get rid of cells you do not need.
