Simple, inexpensive tips for avoiding dry skin


RX for Brown Skin for African American skin care

 


Ladies, are you worried that your African American skin care product is not going to be able to hide your dry winter skin? The holiday season, though filled with beautiful lights, trees and parties, does not always lead to a beautiful complexion. Recently, The Washington Post reported on tips from some world-class dermatologists about how to keep skin safe during these frigid months.


First, the experts recommended taking showers at temperatures as tepid as you can handle, rather than very hot ones that will further dry out your skin. Also, try to avoid soaps that contain detergents, which can remove natural oils.


Short on cash and looking for effective moisturizers? According to these dermatologists, there are cheap ways to get smooth skin.


"If you’ve got the driest of dry skin, the best defense for that is a couple of days of plain old Vaseline, as a a sealer and a protectant," said dermatologist Alicia Zalka, quoted by the news source. "If the skin is already cracked, it does not sting."


MakeupandBeauty.com states that another interesting use for Vaseline is to rub it on your cuticles to help brittle nails grow stronger.
