Dermatologists' top tips for relieving dry skin
- Close the bathroom door.
- Limit your time in the shower or bath to 5 or 10 minutes.
- Use warm rather than hot water.
- Wash with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.
- Apply enough cleanser to remove dirt and oil, but avoid using so much that you see a thick lather.
- Add moisture to the air.
