The older adults are more likely to develop dry skin, this is because your skin starts to produce less oil (sebum) which raises the risk of dry skin if you do not moisturise. Medical history can make you more prone to eczema or just dry skin if you have a history of these conditions or if family members have it. Dry skin is common during the autumn and winter seasons as the air temperature starts to drop therefore your skin will start to dry out. If you have a shower, bath or wash your face with hot water your skin will become dry as it is taking all the hydration out of your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>Things you can try to help stop dry skin are:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">avoid using very hot water in showers or baths<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">keep your shower time under 10 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Use moisturising soap\/body wash<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">apply moisturiser every day, especially straight after a shower, bath or washing your face<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pat rather than rub wet skin with a soft towel<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0Avoid itching dry patches of skin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Drink plenty of water<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have dry skin?
