Dry skin is a common skin concern that can affect people of all ages. It often feels tight, rough, itchy, and may even crack or peel if not treated properly. At Royal Derma Skin & Hair Clinic, our dermatologists share expert-backed dry skin care tips to help you restore moisture and maintain healthy skin.
What Causes Dry Skin?
Dry skin occurs when your skin loses too much moisture or natural oils. Common causes include:
-
Cold weather and low humidity
-
Hot showers and harsh soaps
-
Excessive sun exposure
-
Aging and hormonal changes
-
Skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis
-
Using wrong skincare products
Understanding the cause is the first step to effective treatment.
Dermatologist-Recommended Dry Skin Care Tips
1️⃣ Use a Gentle Cleanser
Avoid soaps with alcohol, fragrance, or sulfates. Choose a mild, soap-free cleanser that cleans without stripping natural oils.
2️⃣ Moisturize Immediately After Washing
Apply a thick moisturizer within 3 minutes after bathing to lock in moisture. Look for ingredients like:
-
Ceramides
-
Hyaluronic Acid
-
Glycerin
-
Shea Butter
3️⃣ Avoid Hot Water
Hot water removes essential oils from your skin. Use lukewarm water for bathing and washing your face.
4️⃣ Apply Sunscreen Daily
Dry skin is more sensitive to sun damage. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every day, even in winter.
5️⃣ Use a Humidifier
Indoor air can dry out your skin. A humidifier helps maintain moisture levels, especially during winters.
6️⃣ Stay Hydrated & Eat Healthy
Drink enough water and include omega-3 rich foods, fruits, and vegetables in your diet to nourish skin from within.
When Should You See a Dermatologist?
You should consult a dermatologist if:
-
Dryness persists despite using moisturizers
-
You experience redness, itching, or cracks
-
Skin becomes painful or infected
