Most people try to combat dry skin by saturating it with oil – not the best plan when you realize that dry skin is actually thirsty skin. What you need is a regular supply of water – at least eight glasses of water a day – and creams that contain water.

Air conditioning and wind exposure aggravate dry skin, so apply moisturizer at least twice a day, and give yourself the occasional intensive night treatment.

Dry skin doesn’t retain moisture well as it produces few protective oils – no visible surface oil. Dehydrated skin is different – it’s a symptom of an overall drought in your system. Signs include ultrafine crisscross lines over the cheek areas and the presence of oily areas.
