Tips to Avoid Dry Skin During Winter
Date:1/6/2013

SUNDAY, Jan. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Throughout the winter, excessive hand washing to prevent the spread of germs can leave skin extremely dry and itchy.

"Humidifying the air can reverse the process of skin dehydration and is particularly helpful for patients with dermatitis (an itchy inflammation of the skin)," Tarbox said.
  • Use over-the-counter saline sprays. These sprays can help keep the mouth, eyes and nasal areas hydrated, particularly during travel. When they are too dry, these mucosal surfaces can become itchy and are less able to protect against viral infections, such as the flu.
  • Avoid harsh cleansers. Some cleansers are irritating and can lead to hand eczema, a long-term skin disorder, dermatitis and dryness. Replace these cleansers with more mild, skin-friendly products to prevent dry skin. "You can look for some beneficial ingredients like essential oils, jojoba oil and shea butter oil," Tarbox said.
  • Choose the right moisturizer. Essential oils, jojoba oil and shea butter oil are also
