To treat dry skin, follow a daily routine of cleansing and exfoliating. Washing the face with just water or cleansing it with oil keeps facial skin from becoming dry. Drinking a lot of water is also important for having healthy skin.
- Wash only with water
Avoid using soap or other products for washing the face. Some soaps dry out the skin. Make sure the water used on the facial area is not too hot or too cold.
- Use the oil cleansing method
If plain water is not good enough, try the oil cleansing method. This is ideal for removing makeup. Use jojoba oil for extremely dry skin. Wash your face with warm water. Next, gently rub in the oil blend.
- Exfoliate your skin
Exfoliating is an important step toward healthy skin. Do this a few times a week. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and allows new skin to grow. Make a scrub from honey and ground oatmeal. Rub the mixture onto your face, and then rinse it off.
- Drink plenty of water
Few people know that drinking water improves skin health. Good hydration is essential for treating dry skin. Water cannot be replaced with coffee or other beverages. Always keep a bottle of water nearby.
