2. Likely causes of dry skin Dry skin could be due to a genetic condition. Poor diet. Nutritional deficiencies, especially deficiencies of vitamin A and the B vitamins, can also contribute to dry skin. Environmental factors such as exposure to sun, wind, cold, chemicals, or cosmetics, or excessive bathing with harsh soaps. Conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, or seborrhea. 3. Caring for dry skin Avoid the use of tap water when cleansing dry skin. The deposits are too drying on the skin. And never, ever use hot water. Use mineral water to freshen your face. In the morning, apply a spray of mineral water on your skin misted on with a plant sprayer Lightly pat dry. 4. Morning Skin Cleanser/Rejuvenator Every morning 15 minutes before taking your bath 1 egg yolk 1 teaspoon orange juice 1 teaspoon olive oil and few drops of rose water few drops of lime juice Mix the above ingredients together and apply on your skin. 5. Day Moisturizing Apply a touch of your natural moisturizer over the freshly cleansed, toned, and dampened skin on your throat, cheeks, and around your eyes. Men should follow a two-step process. Apply moisturizer immediately after shaving. Wait ten minutes. Then moisturize again. 6. Avoid solid, waxy moisturizing creams. Use a humidifier (or even a pan of water placed near a radiator) to humidify your environment, especially in winter. This helps to reduce the amount of moisture lost from the skin through evaporation. 7. Dry skin care Stay out of overheated rooms; avoid sudden changes in temperature; protect yourself from wind and sun. Remember, your face is fragile. Once a week, use a facial mask to clarify the skin and remove dull, dry surface skin cells. 8. Dry skin care If your skin is chapped or cracked, increase your consumption of water and essential fatty acids. Keep any chapped areas well lubricated and protected from the elements. 9.
