1. HOW TO
CLEAN DRY
SKIN

2. ALWAYS WASH
YOUR FACE
BEFORE BED
No matter how dry your
skin, gentle cleansing at
night is essential. Makeup,
sunscreen, bacteria, dead
skin cells, dirt, and oil build
up on your face during the
day. They can work their way
into your pores, causing
irritation. Wash gently
without scrubbing to avoid
irritating your skin. There's
no need to wash again in the
morning. Just rinse your face
with water when you wake
up.

3. CLEANSER:
SOAP OR NON-
SOAP?
Harsh detergents in soap
can strip away the natural
moisturizing oils in your
skin. This can cause
dryness, irritation, and
inflammation. Soap-free
cleansers work on your
skin the same way as
soap, but they're made of
lighter ingredients that
don't reduce skin's oils.

4. WHAT TO LOOK
FOR IN A FACE
CLEANSER
When you have dry skin,
consider a gentle
cleanser with added
moisturizers. Your skin
should feel soft and
smooth after cleansing. If
the cleanser makes your
skin feel too dry, tight, or
irritated, try a different
one. Avoid cleansers with
salicylic or glycolic acid if
you have dry skin.

5. WHAT TO
AVOID IN A
FACE CLEANSER
In addition to steering
clear of harsh soaps, look
for a cleanser that is free
of fragrance, chemicals,
or alcohol. Avoid
antibacterial soaps, which
can be drying. Ask your
doctor whether you
should use or avoid
cleansers with exfoliates
such as glycolic acid.
Different types of
cleansers may work for
different people.

6. WATER AND
DRY SKIN
Showers and baths add
moisture to your skin, but
they can also dry it out by
removing the skin's
natural oils. Hot water
washes away oil faster
than warm water. So use
warm water when you
cleanse your face and
limit yourself to one
short (five minutes)
warm shower or bath a
day. Close the bathroom
door while you bathe to
keep the room steamy.

7. SKIP THE
SCRUBBERS
If you have dry skin, you can
forget about buying
expensive daily face scrubs
or scrubbers. In fact, you
can forget scrubbing overall.
Rubbing and scrubbing can
irritate your skin. Even the
friction from washing with a
sponge or washcloth can be
irritating. The gentlest way
to wash your face is also the
most convenient: with your
hands. You can also use a
cotton round.

8. DAMPEN YOUR
HANDS AND
FACE
Because you're cleansing
with your hands, wash
them first. Then dampen
your face and hands with
lukewarm water. Don't
concern yourself with
using enough water to
work up a good lather.
Mild cleansers may not
lather much. Remember,
your goal is to have skin
that's smooth and
supple, not squeaky
clean.

9. USE A LIGHT
TOUCH FOR
CLEANSING
More is not better when
it comes to washing dry
skin. Squeeze just a
quarter-size dollop of
cleanser into your palm
and apply it evenly to
your face. Then gently
massage it into your skin
with your fingertips,
using circular motions. Be
especially gentle around
your eyes. Remember not
to scrub even with your
fingers.

10. PAT, DON’ T
RUB, YOUR
FACE DRY
Don't ruin the perfect
face cleansing by rubbing
your skin dry. Rubbing
can cause abrasion to
your skin, which can lead
to irritation and
inflammation. Instead,
rinse your face with tepid
water, then pat it with a
clean, dry cotton towel or
washcloth. Don't dry it all
the way the idea is to
leave some moisture for
your moisturizer to lock
in.

11. GO EASY ON
EXFOLIATION
Exfoliation removes dead
skin cells, allowing
moisturizers to better
penetrate your skin. But
abrasive scrubs can
damage dry skin, so
exfoliate no more than
once a week. Skip fruit
scrubs, which can be
harsh. Instead, try a scrub
with rice enzymes or
papain. These ingredients
are gentle and a safe way
to exfoliate. Exfoliating
should never hurt. If it
does, stop or try a milder
product.

12. MOISTURIZE,
MOISTURIZE,
MOISTURIZE
Moisturizers don't
actually add moisture to
the skin. They seal in
existing water so it
doesn't evaporate.
Moisturize two or three
times a day. Use the 3-
minute rule: Apply
moisturizer within 3
minutes of your nightly
cleansing and morning
rinse. If you apply
moisturizer again during
the day, it's not necessary
to rinse or cleanse first.

13. WHAT TO LOOK
FOR IN A
MOISTURIZER
Creams and oils are more
effective than lotions for
dry skin. Humectants,
such as glycerin and
propylene glycol, draw
water into the outer skin
layer. Emollients like
petrolatum, lanolin,
mineral oil, and
dimethicone trap water
in the skin by forming a
layer on its surface.
Because of occlusives like
petroleum jelly act as a
barrier and setup
moisture, they are one of
the best treatments for
dry skin.

14. WHAT TO
AVOID IN A
MOISTURIZER
You may want to avoid
moisturizers that contain
fragrances. And some
ingredients, such as
retinol, may be irritating
to sensitive, dry skin. Test
a facial moisturizer by
first rubbing a tiny
amount on your forearm
for a few days. If it stings,
burns, itches, or feels dry,
don't use it.
