The older we get, the more that dry skin treatments become a necessity.  As we age, our skin produces less natural oil,  causing it to retain less and less moisture.  This natural development can also be aggravated by many factors, including sun exposure, dry air and a few beauty regimens that are actually damaging in the long term.

Excessively bathing in hot water, for instance, will tend to leave skin very dry over the long term.  Similarly, regular use of loofah sponges tend to scrape natural oils from the skin.  The result is dry and flaky skin that retains less of the moisture that it needs to show off its luster.  As with loofahs, you will need to watch out on using topical exfoliants.  While they do help remove dead skin cells, your skin’s natural moisture tends to peel off, along with it.  Both loofahs and exfoliants should be fine used once a week.  Any more than that and you’re risking dryness.

As such, avoiding these moisture-stripping activities should be the first line of defense in your dry skin treatments.   Apart from that, other dry skin treatments you can look to include moisturizers (try a eucerin-based lotion), alpha-hydroxy acid-based products and antioxidant-based creams (especially those with vitamin C and beta-carotene) to promote collagen growth.
