You may envy baby skin if you have dry skin like desert

because of the winter cold or air conditioners at office.

You used to have lustrous skin when you are a baby,

but now you may be disappointed and wondering when you get this bad dry skin.

Let’s get out from here and try to get fresh and youthful skin.

 9 techniques
to change dry skin into baby skin

1 After washing your face

The most effective thing for dry skin is moisture.

It is said that 80% of baby body is consisted by water.

The reason why body contains that much of water is that it is necessary for cells to grow.

To keep the moisture, adequate oil content is also needed.

Not only dirt but also oil content could be washed off by washing face.

It is important to restore moisture and oil content after washing face.

Remember to try to care your skin within 5 minutes after washing.

2　Check cleanser again

As it is said above, recent cleanser has stronger detergency.

Strong detergency is necessary to wash strong heavy makeup.

Strong detergency washes off the moisture of skin,

and that could be the reason to have dry skin or rough skin.

It would be a good idea to use gentle cleanser like cleanser with cloth or wiping type, or gel type.

3　Good to use lotion combining hyaluronic acid

As you get older, you lose more moisture.

One of the reasons is hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid has an effect to save water in body.

As you get older, it gets less, and water in your body decreases,

then that causes dry skin.

Keep the moisture on your skin by using lotion combining hyaluronic acid.

4　Take a bath with not too hot water

It is recommended to take a bath with warm water.

If you sweat in the bath,

that improves metabolism and excretes skin wastes.

It will be more effective if you use bathing powder which gives you more moisture.

You need to be careful not to scrub your body too hard with a towel.

5　Adjust your life rhythm

Skin is regenerated between 11pm and 2am while you are sleeping.

You may be busy every day and stay up late,

but it is better to try to be asleep during the golden time.

6　Measures for UV even in winter

Don’t you think measures for UV only in summer is enough?

It is actually necessary even in winter.

UV has an effect to promote evaporation of water.

UV exists all year around, though it is not as strong as in summer.

You will have drier skin if you are not aware of it because it’s in winter,

so it is important to have measures for UV all year around as well as for aging spots.

7　Improve by meals

Remember to eat well-balanced food and care your body from inside.

The nutrition you should take positively is vitamin A, B, E and essential fatty acid.

Vitamin A is included a lot in brightly colored vegetables, blueback like mackerel, and see weed.

It is effective to normalize the metabolism and keep skin moisture.

Vitamin B is included a lot in soy, dairy products, liver, seafood,

which is effective to prevent from inflammation and active the metabolism.

Vitamin E is included a lot in nuts and vegetable oil,

which is effective to help to secrete a female sex hormone and make moisture skin.

Essential fatty acid is included a lot in nuts, vegetable oil and seafood.

If you don’t take enough of this, that causes some trouble, and you will have dry skin.

（Remember, it is high in calories, so try not to take too much.)

A lot of chubby TV stars have beautiful skin, and it may be because they take enough nutrition.

8　Do not wait until you feel cold

If your body temperature decreases,

the circulation of the entire body will be bad

and water won’t be sent to cells of skin.

Moisturizing cream prevents the body surface from getting dry,

but you need a care to protect inside of your skin from dry.

5 body part which are stomach, neck, wrist,

ankle and back are very important to have a better circulation,

so it is effective to have cold protection measures, especially for those parts.

9　Try to avoid tea, coffee and alcohol

Tea and coffee contain caffeine.

As you may know, it has a diuretic effect and makes your body cold.

If your body gets cold, that will make your body metabolism worse and cause dry skin.

Alcohol includes vitamin A which increases the temperature of body and skin,

so that makes evaporations of skin moisture and dry skin happen.

It is recommended to have hot water for restore moisture not to cool your body.

In conclusion

You saw some tips to avoid dry skin and have soft moisture skin like babies.

Now we know that it is important to restore water and prevent from dry.

If dry skin gets worse, the barrier capacity of skin decreases,

and that causes itchiness on your skin or makes your skin red.

It is essential to take care of dry skin before those things happen.

Each tip is definitely not difficult, so give it a try.

More and more people have dry skin and are in trouble through whole year.

You might see those who have dry skin are various in their age,

either men or women, and various parts of body they have trouble with.

Dry skin can happen not only on his or her face, but any parts of body, even whole parts.

To put some cream on, this can bring only temporary improvement.

Therefore, it is important to improve the body health and the lifestyle

to solve the trouble with dry skin from the causes.

Here are the ways for improvement for healthy skin.

The 6 points
to improve your health and dry skin

1. Do not rub

 
If you have dry skin, you cannot help touching the parts,

or even rubbing since it is itchy,

but still it has only bad influence,

so you might want to stop as anyone can understand how you feel.

Dry skin is sensitive, so giving extra stimulation is not recommendable.

If you cannot stand it, put some moisture lotion gently,

and press with your hands mildly.

The same thing can happen when you are taking a bath.

If you are washing your face too strongly with a brush,

you might want to stop it as well,

though the feeling that you would like to wash the dirty off is also what anyone can understand.

If you are seriously in trouble in dry skin,

whip soap on your hands and

just put it on your face and rub gently and only a little is enough.

It is important not to give too much stress on your skin.

2. Take a tepid bath

 
Soak in a hot water for a minute, and finish taking a bath.

If you have this habit,

you might want to change the habit into soaking in a tepid bath even from today.

To soak in a tepid bath for some while and that helps you to egest wastes from your body.

You can keep your body warm after taking a bath if you choose this style and you can solve cold constitution.

If the water is too hot, it removes moisture from your body which is necessary.

The same thing happens when you wash dishes.

If too much oils on a plate you have found,

you might want to use hot water rather than cold one

since it removes oil away completely.

Soaking in a hot water can give you a feeling of being refreshed,

but sebum is removed too much.

To avoid dry skin, you might want to take a tepid bath!

This should be important.

3. Choose natural materials

 
The towel you dry your face with, the bath towel you dry your body with,

underwear you put on,

have you ever thought of the materials for those items you are using?

“The design might come first, but the materials are not the matter.”

This might be the situation for many people.

If you have dry skin, however, material as the first priority is recommended.

Cotton, linen, and silk are the recommendable materials especially.

These materials do not stimulate your skin,

so you have less risk of having itchy skin compared with synthetic fabrics.

It would be difficult

if you try to choose all of your clothes made of the natural materials,

but towels and underwear,

you might want to choose by the materials.

Silk is especially recommendable material since it has moisture effect.

4. Moisture care

 
Have you had an experience of sleeping without putting anything on after you took a bath?

Actually anyone might have had this experience because of heavy tiredness.

This, however, is a big issue if you have dry skin.

You might include taking moisture care of your skin in “taking a bath” concept.

You can use topical cream the dermatologist chose,

or of course you can use the cream you have chosen as your best.

If you prepare for your favorite bathrobe before taking a bath,

you might be able to enjoy the skin care time.

Once it is involved in your habit, it does not take much time,

therefore, to take moisture care of your skin should be given to your skin every day.

5. Choose scrub or facial mask as seeing your skin

 
If you use a scrub or a facial mask regularly,

you might want to check if the product agrees with your skin,

or frequency you use is appropriate.

If your skin is dry and surface of your face does not have protection,

using a scrub or facial mask might be too risky since it removes the cells

which are on a way to regeneration.

“Since it is popular”,

do not choose any products with this idea,

but you might want to consult a dermatologist at the clinic before using it.

6. Check your meals

 
Have you ever thought of the nutrition you needed and took in actually?

Even though you have meals 3 times a day,

it does not mean you intake enough nutrition.

You might find the truth if you record what you had for each meal for a week.

You might find too much carbohydrate foods

such as buckwheat noodles or rice on your notebook,

or deep fried meals you might find so often on the record.

The balance of nutrition has a big influence on your skin.

Recording will be a help since you will know

what are extra and which nutrition you are lack of.

The best way is still to intake nutrition from each meal,

but supplements might be a help if it seems difficult.

Vitamin B and Vitamin C are effective for the beauty in your skin.

You might want to choose the foods which contain the nutritional elements above.

Summary

To improve your skin will take long,

but it is important to improve your body as well as your lifestyle including meals.

Only little by little, but you will see improvement in a long span

if you try some changes in your lifestyle after finding some habits

which are not good for your skin.

Some efforts should be necessary,

but for the beauty in your skin and for the health,

you might be motivated now.

If you have some worries on the way, to consult a dermatologist might be one idea.
