Today’s demanding lifestyles often leave women with minimal time for personal care. Tension, worry, and aging can diminish skin activity, leading to dryness, fragility, wrinkles, and a dull complexion.
Reduced oil production and environmental stressors, such as dry air, harsh winds, hormonal imbalances, aggressive chemicals, and frequent use of strong soaps, exacerbate dryness, especially during winter, causing flakiness and chapping.
Caring for Dry Skin
• Cleanse and moisturize: For dry skin, cleanse with cold cream and use an alcohol-free skin freshener to remove any remaining product. Apply a hydrating emollient or moisturizer to the damp skin immediately after washing.
• To tone the skin, splash with cold water or gently apply rose water.
• Avoid using highly alkaline soaps and detergents like washing sodas and powders.
• Protect your skin by avoiding excessive sun exposure, harsh winds, and hot baths. Use only oil-based creams and makeup. When drying your face, use soft towels or cloths to prevent irritation.
• Smoking reduces the skin’s supply of essential oxygen and nutrients, leading to dryness and a leathery texture.
• To address chapped or cracked skin, increase water intake. Maintain hydration and protect affected areas with a nourishing cream or moisturizer.
• For dry skin care, opt for creamy, gentle, pH-balanced products, such as moisture-rich cream gels and lotions.

A balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, grains, seeds, and nuts provides essential nutrients for healthy skin. Adequate hydration and minimal sun exposure are also crucial. Foods like garlic, onions, eggs, and asparagus promote smooth, youthful skin, while carrots and apricots, rich in vitamins A and C, maintain suppleness.
Incorporate leafy greens and dairy products like yogurt and milk into your diet. Limit consumption of fried foods, sugary drinks, sweets, processed foods, alcohol, and caffeine, as these can deplete the body and skin of vital fluids and nutrients.
