Health Tip: Preventing Summertime Dry Skin
By LadyLively on September 7, 2016
Hot weather, swimming and more time spent outside can lead to dry skin.
The American Academy of Dermatology suggests how to combat the problem:
- Take a shower and shampoo your hair as soon as you get out of the pool.
- Use sunscreen before heading outdoors. Choose one that’s water-resistant, broad spectrum and has an SPF of at least 30.
- Avoid body washes that are deodorant or antibacterial. Keep your bath or shower water warm, not hot.
- Use a fragrance-free moisturizer all over as soon as you get out of the shower or bath.
- Crank up your thermostat a few degrees if your home feels too dry.
