Help!!! My Skin Is Super Dry!

I Need More Moisture

It’s getting colder and that means dryer skin for most women. When the weather changes most women do not change their skin care routine accordingly, which can lead to excessive dryness or even oiliness in some. Here are 5 Tips to treating & preventing Super Dry Skin.

1) Exfoliate on a regular basis:

Exfoliating the dead skin cells will keep your pores open and keep your skin from looking dull. This will also bring oxygen to the skins surface promoting healthy circulation and dewy fresh look. Try this great 2 Step Microdermabrasion Set to use at home twice a week.

2) Use a good moisturizer daily:

There are several wonderful moisturizers out there. PrettyMeFair.com’s fav pick is the oil free, fragrance free, Mary Kay Timewise Moisturizer (either normal/dry or combination/oily formula). This will give your skin all day hydration without feeling heavy, greasy, or sticky.

3) Drink Water:

Most women don’t drink enough water. You gets busy with other things, and before you know it the day is gone and it’s too late to try and down four more glasses before bedtime. Try to drink at least six cups a day, and if you skin is super dry stay away from soda and caffeine, which can dehydrate your skin.

4) Eat More Fruits and Veggies:

This is a good rule in general, but eating more fruits and veggies will help hydrate your skin. You’ll get some extra water out of the food an the extra does of Vitamins A, C,  and E will keep your skin looking younger, fresher, and more supple. (read about 5 foods your skin will love here)

5) Use Sunscreen & Night Solution:

Again PrettyMeFair.com says, “go with Mary Kay skin care,” because it works. Using a minimum SPF of 25 on the face every day is so important. You must protect your skin from environmental damage and from harmful UVA/UVB from the sun. Not wearing 25 SPF Sunscreen will lead to more wrinkles, dryness, and possibly skin cancer. Use a Night Solution to repair damaged skin cells while you sleep. When you sleep is when the body is repairing itself.
There you have it. Use these simple tips and your skin will be hydrated, fresher looking, smooth, and healthy.
