With too
many roles for woman to juggle in
today’s fast paced, high
pressured lifestyle, there is
very little time for her to
pamper herself.
With
tension, worries, anxiety and
age, the skin become less active
leaving it drier, fragile, prone
to wrinkle, lines near the eyes
and mouth and losing the youthful
color and glow.
Failure of
oil glands failing to release
enough oils to moisturize and
protect the skin results in dry
skin. Environmental causes like
dry air, harsh wind, hormonal
imbalance, usage of aggressive
chemicals, cosmetics or excessive
bathing with harsh soaps saps the
moisture from the skin making it
dryer, flakier and chapped during
winter.
Caring
for Dry Skin
Cleanse
and Moisturize:
The dry
skin should be cleansed with a
cold cream and alcohol-free skin
fresheners to remove the cream.
After cleansing, the skin needs a
lubricating emollient or a
moisturizer when the face is damp
after the wash.
Splash
your face with cold water
or gently wipe the skin with rose
water to tone the skin nicely.
Avoid
using highly alkaline
soaps and detergents like
washing sodas and powders.

Avoid
the sun, harsh
winds and hot baths. Use
oil-based creams and
make-up products only.
Use
soft towels or wash
cloth to avoid
irritation to the skin
while wiping it.
Smoking
deprives the skin of
oxygen and
nutrients it needs for
good health making the
skin dry and leathery.
Chapped
or cracked skin
- increase consumption
of water. Keep chapped
areas well lubricated
and protected from the
elements using a good
nourishing cream or
moisturizer.
Use
creamy, mild,
pH-balanced
products such
moisture based cream
gels, lotions, etc. for
dry skin
care.

A
well balanced diet of
vegetables, fruits,
grains, seeds and nuts provides
the body with all the necessary
vitamins and minerals needed for
healthy skin.
Drinking
water and reducing solar
exposure to a minimum is
also beneficial. Garlic, onions,
eggs and asparagus help to keep
the skin smooth and youthful.
Carrots,
apricots, rich in
vitamins A, C keep the skin
supple. Increase intake of foods
like leafy raw green veggies,
dairy products like yogurt, milk.
Lessen
fried foods, soft drinks,
sugar, chocolates, junk
foods, alcohol, caffeine and
other foods that have diuretic
effecting causing the body and
skin to loose fluids, vitamins
and essential minerals.
