Dry, flakey skin

What if those flakes are a sign something’s up? Don’t stress: all your solutions are here.

“Dry skin can be hereditary,” says Alicia Lucas, trainer for True Solutions International. It’s also affected by seasonal change and using the wrong products. “Using products that are designed to encourage hydration and exfoliation can help relieve these conditions and normalise the skin. Look for ingredients such as lactic acid, vitamin A and E, and omega oils.” Also, avoid very hot showers as they can strip your skin of moisture—and keep up the body moisture through the colder months.
