Hydrate your skin
THE body’s first line of defence against the harsh environment is the skin, and a common skin disorder faced by many is dry skin.
Severe dry skin can look unsightly, giving a cracked and scaly surface and causing itchiness. Possible causes of dry skin include conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, strong medication and diabetes.
If you suffer from dry skin, keeping yourself hydrated is of utmost importance.
The recommended intake of water was once said to be eight glasses a day for both men and women but research over the years has revealed that the amount of water you drink is dependent on your body weight.
It is recommended that women should drink at least 2.2 litres and men should drink three litres a day.
Another way to stay hydrated is to moisturise every day, especially after a shower because this is when your skin most effectively absorbs the goodness of the creams used.
If your skin is very dry, use a product with urea and lanolin as these ingredients help the skin to retain water and seal in the moisture.
As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure and if you are diabetic, taking extra care of your feet by moisturising daily can prevent ulcers and impede foot amputations.
