Tips for Managing Dry Skin
- Apply moisturiser immediately after bathing while skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration.
- Opt for fragrance-free formulas if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
- Drink plenty of water and maintain a balanced diet rich in healthy fats.
- Avoid hot showers, which can strip the skin of its natural oils.
- Reapply moisturiser throughout the day, especially to hands and exposed areas.
