Dry Itchy Skin - Help in Finding Relief
Dry itchy skin has probably plagued most of us at one time or
another. Our hands and faces are sensitive to frequent washing, the change
of seasons, contact with chemicals and more, resulting in skin that itches
and peels. As dry, flaking skin shows up most noticeably on darker skin
tones, black skin care involves a particular focus on exfoliation to prevent
the development of dry skin problems and their appearance.
To protect skin prone to drying and itching, there are numerous additional
steps you can take:
- Bathe or shower no more than every other day to give dry skin time to replenish itself
- Bathe using cool to moderate temperature water, as hot water dries the skin
- Avoid the use of soap and products containing drying ingredients such as alcohol or talc
- Apply a body moisturizer immediately after your bath or shower, while skin is still damp, to seal in the maximum amount of water
- Add moisture to your indoor environment with humidifiers, fountains and plants
- Cover up in any kind of extreme weather and avoid severe temperature changes as much as possible
- Apply heaviest oil based products at night for maximum absorption, and minimum daytime shine
Dry, drier, driest... Create an oasis for itching skin
In addition to these precautionary measures, there are numerous treatments available to target your problem areas. If your skin dries out easily it is important to carefully choose the products that will help restore your skin's condition as well as treat any areas prone to common problems causing itching such as eczema or dermatitis. A product specifically designed to get rid of the itch and deeply moisturize dried skin will have you back on the road to health in no time.
