Skin Care Tips for Dry and Sensitive Skin | Dermeze

Caring for Dry & Sensitive Skin

When washing

  • Choose gentle soap-free cleansers or soap substitutes rather than harsh soaps that can dry out the skin.
  • Avoid scrubbing the skin.
  • Hot water and long baths or showers can dry the skin out. Keep your shower or bath short and not too hot.
  • Pat dry after bathing or showering, and apply moisturisers while the skin is still damp to keep moisture in skin.

Applying moisturisers

  • Apply moisturisers liberally and regularly, particularly after a shower or bath to help retain moisture.
  • Consider an ointment or thick cream for very dry skin as they are more hydrating than lotions.
  • Consider a light lotion for hairy areas of skin or in hot and humid summer weather.
  • Find a skincare routine that matches your skin dryness and follow through with it.

Seasonal moisturising and external factors

Cold weather/Hot weather

  • Cover up when spending time outdoors to protect your skin from the elements.
  • Avoid overheating, especially in winter, by dressing in loose fitting layers that can be easily removed.
  • Consider clothes made from natural, breathable fabrics like cotton, and avoid wearing wool and other fabrics that can scratch or irritate skin.

Air-conditioning/Heating

  • Take regular breaks from air conditioning, try using fan instead, or open the windows if possible.
  • Consider using a humidifier in dry or heated rooms to keep the air moist. In warmer areas, try placing a bowl of water in the room.
  • Keep an eye on the thermostat to prevent overheating and avoid being too close to heat sources.
