May 5, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Is the dryness only the present symptom or there is other such as itchy or red or scaly only facee or all over
Your skin is your body's first line of defense against the elements. When sun, wind, and cold leave skin dry and itchy
look for the cause if possible and fix it before treatment
causes and some tips
1-winter:before you go outside in wintry weather, create your own moisture barrier. Protect your most sensitive parts -- lips, face, and hands -- with a scarf and gloves.
2-.Steamy Showers, keep showers short. Five minutes is enough to get clean without over-drying
3- Moisture-Robbing Soaps ,don't put just any bar of soap into your shower dish -- they're not all the same. Wash with a harsh soap and you'll send your skin's natural moisture barrier straight down the drain.
4-Friction strips the skin and enhances the dryness
5-Your face needs different moisturizing than your body. Smooth on a noncomedogenic face lotion -- one that won't clog pores and cause breakouts. Pick a moisturizer that incorporates a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more
6-a healthy skin depends on health diet ,rich your diet with vitamins such as fruits and salads
7-dehydration in body reflect on skin ,try to drink plenty of water and fresh juices
8 - try to exfoliate your face to open pores and apply after Vaseline before sleep at night and keep till the other day
9-when waking don't soap your face ,only water or a moisturizer medical soap
10- apply a medical moisturizer
11- sleep well minimize stress all stress reflect on face and skin
12- stop smoking it ages and dry skin
13 -if all measures are not working then there might be underlying medical condition showing up on face or skin especially if scaly and red? It could be a skin condition, like atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. It can also be a symptom of diseases such as diabetes or an underactive thyroid gland.if so check with your doctor or dermatologist for examination
