Preventing dry skin is actually quite simple. It\u2019s much more difficult to restore moisture to your skin than it is to prevent its loss in the first place. So if you are frequently exposed to dry air, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/skin-aging-causes\/\">have aging skin<\/a>, or are at risk from any of the other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/6-common-causes-dry-skin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">causes of dry skin<\/a>, it\u2019s best to strike preemptively than address a bigger problem later.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Defend Yourself Against the Elements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The main moisture-sapping weather culprits are wind, sun, and air that is dry and cold, or hot and arid. If you must expose yourself to windy or dry weather, make sure your wear protective clothes around your face. Should you spend time in the sun, put on a wide-brimmed hat to shade your face and apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen. Using a humidifier in your home can work wonders for restoring healthy humidity levels that indoor heating or air condition can leach out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Limit Contact with Hot Water<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re living in a dry climate, avoid long, hot showers and baths, as well as washing your face with cleanser too frequently. Instead, try to take short showers or baths using warm water and use a gentle cleanser with lukewarm water to wash your face no more than twice a day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Practice Proper Skincare<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3>1.\u00a0Exfoliate Your Skin<\/h3>\n<p>Removing dead skin cells is essential for preventing dry skin. Dead skin cells can build up on the skin\u2019s surface, creating a barrier that inhibits moisturizers from doing their job. Make sure to exfoliate once a week and use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/luna-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LUNA&#x2122; 2<\/a> twice daily to gently lift away dead skin cells, improving the absorption of your skincare products.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/luna-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/dryness3cta_0.png\" alt=\"how to prevent dry skin\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/luna-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shop LUNA 2 &gt;<\/a><\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3>2. Say No to Bar Soap<\/h3>\n<p>Never use bar soap to clean your face, as they often contain fragrances or other ingredients that are harsh and drying. Instead, use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/day-night-cleansers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gentle cleanser<\/a> that\u2019s specially formulated for dry skin twice every day with added moisturizers.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3>3. Use Rich Moisturizing Creams<\/h3>\n<p>To keep skin from drying out, use a rich, thick moisturizing cream after cleansing. This is particularly important if you have aging skin, as it will help thinner skin keep moisture locked in.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Keep Yourself Hydrated<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Make sure to drink at least eight glasses of water every day to keep your skin properly hydrated. You can also eat water-rich foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. It may be difficult, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/caffeine-skin-benefits-and-drawbacks\/\">try to avoid diuretics like caffeine<\/a> and alcohol, which can sap your skin of its hydration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What if it\u2019s Too Late?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you already have dry skin, it\u2019s not too late. Yes, it\u2019s easier to prevent dry skin than to treat it, but there are several steps you can take towards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/best-treatments-dry-facial-skin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">treating dry skin<\/a> as well. So keep in mind that no matter the cause or severity of your dry skin, there is almost always a solution.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/best-treatments-dry-facial-skin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>These are the best ways to treat dry skin &gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Disclaimer: The information on this website and any related links are for general informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for professional advice.
