\"Dry<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you noticed your skin getting more dry as the winter weather rolls in? Do you have cracks on your hands or fingers? If so, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAs the seasons change, the environment for the skin is changing. The humidity level is changing,\u201d explains Indy Chabra, a dermatologist at Midlands Clinic in Sioux City, South Dakota. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Xerosis (or dry skin) is caused from a loss of too much water or oil in skin. Many factors contribute to xerosis, including age, skin diseases (like eczema), frequent hand-washing, certain medications, and winter weather. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For healthy winter skin, apply moisturizer within five minutes of showering, and also before bedtime. A ceramide-based moisturizer (recommended by many dermatologists) can effectively be absorbed to moisturize your skin, but it may take up to seven days to see and feel it working. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When washing your hands (or any other part of your body), use lukewarm water and a gentle soap, so as to not dry your skin. Try a hand cream rather than a lotion; apply and let it absorb rather than quickly rubbing it in. (As always, with any soap or moisturizer, if irritation and\/or discomfort occur, seek out the care of a health professional.)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Humidifiers can help air in homes from becoming too dry, contributing to the effect of winter weather on your skin. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remember to take the simple, daily steps you can to clean and protect your dry skin.<\/span><\/p>\n
