To treat dry skin effectively, the most crucial tip is using moisturizers with a greasy texture (Vaseline petroleum jelly is an ideal example) since oil has more staying power than lotions in keeping skin hydrated and maintaining its moisture balance.
Bathing less frequently, using mild cleansers rather than soaps and avoiding harsh scrubs are all ways of improving bathroom health. Humidifying indoor air is also recommended.
Fine lines and wrinkles
While no single strategy exists to completely prevent fine lines and wrinkles from developing, proper skincare practices such as daily moisturization and practicing year-round sun protection can minimize their appearance. Wrinkles are caused by natural aging processes involving collagen loss as a result of smoking, sun exposure, repeated facial expressions or hereditary factors - as well as lifestyle factors like smoking.
People suffering from dry skin may have flaky, itchy and rough texture skin which feels tight to the touch and appears ashen or gray in color. Hands and arms typically show more signs of drying up due to environmental conditions than any other part of their body; this varies depending on individual cases.
As we age, oil glands produce less sebum to maintain healthy levels in your skin, leading to dry patches on its surface and fine lines or wrinkles around eyes, mouth, neck or hands.
Some wrinkles are caused by repeated facial expressions or squinting and can be improved with the appropriate skincare routine, while other are caused by underlying factors and will need more intensive approaches such as an in-office procedure to address them. Nurx dermatologists possess the expertise needed to tailor a personalized plan specifically tailored for you that addresses your fine lines and wrinkles effectively.
Dry skin is a condition that affects people of all skin types and ages, from teenagers to elderly. It often presents as flaky, itchy or scaly patches on various parts of your face or body and results from an interruption to the natural lipid barrier, leading to additional conditions such as psoriasis or eczema flare-ups.
Although there's no cure for dry skin, there are ways to manage and improve it and help your complexion look its best. Moisturization is key - use a gentle alcohol-free cleanser with ingredients such as shea butter and linoleic acid that rehydrate your skin after every wash; additionally apply rich moisturizer after toweling off or bathing and use creams or ointments that do not contain fragrances or other irritating components for optimal results.
To further hydrate your skin, apply a moisturizing serum packed with hyaluronic acid and lipids throughout the day or a thicker moisturizer designed for overnight wear.
Sticking to a consistent morning and night skincare routine is key to creating healthy habits, including creating a mindful self-care ritual that can have a significant effect on your mood. Order of routine is also key because your skin tends to absorb products more readily during its natural healing processes in the evening.

Vitamin C serum is one of the most powerful anti-ageing ingredients available, acting to fade dark marks, combat free radical damage to collagen and reduce atmospheric wrinkles which may lead to dry skin conditions. It can even brighten skin while brightening complexion!
Though you can reap some of the benefits of vitamin C through food or supplements, topical applications provide real results. But it's important to keep in mind that not all serums are created equal - this depends heavily on factors like concentration of vitamin C as well as additional ingredients added into products which could make or break its effectiveness.
Search for formulas containing antioxidants like ferulic acid and vitamin E to stabilize vitamin C so your skin can easily absorb it. Avoid alpha or beta hydroxy acids (AHAs or BHAs), as these can oxidize it and nullify its beneficial properties.
If you have sensitive skin, look for serums with lower concentrations or ones formulated with hyaluronic acid to add extra moisture. As with all new products, always conduct a patch test first; if any adverse reactions arise from applying to all areas simultaneously. If necessary, switch out formulas or abandon it altogether.
