Dry Skin on Your Face – Causes, Signs, Preventions and Home Remedies

Daily Moisturizing

Creams, ointments, and moisturizers may improve the natural barrier function of the skin. This helps improve water retention. Applying moisturizers overnight may provide more benefits. Consider moisturizing the face before bedtime and using a gentle cleanser to wash it off in the morning. Since many products are available, make sure to choose the right option for your skin type and purpose. You should start with gentle moisturizers, which tend to contain colloidal oatmeal, ceramides, or hyaluronic acid. If you want to use natural moisturizers, then go for Shea butter, coconut oil, or pure aloe Vera gel. Check the ingredient list and avoid those with alcohols, dioxane, petroleum, petrolatum, or artificial colors or fragrances as these components may dry the skin. [6]
