Dry and dehydrated skin feels very flaky and tight. Skin goes dry mainly due to a lack of natural oil loss, and the itchiness can lead to other skin concerns. The harsh weather conditions can also affect your skin to great measure. If you have itchiness and redness due to constantly dry skin, don’t worry; we have some skincare tips for you. Make sure you follow these steps regularly to keep your skin well-nourished. Summer Skincare Routine: 6 Natural Remedies To Keep Your Skin Radiant in Hot and Humid Weather.

1. Use The Right Cleanser

When choosing your everyday cleanser, look for ceramides, glycerin and hyaluronic acid. These are nourishing for your skin and help to retain the moisture within.

2. Use Mild Products

People with dry skin should be extra careful about the formulations in their skincare products. Don’t use facewashes or creams with harsh ingredients like oxybenzene, formaldehyde, propylene glycol, and sodium.

3. Use Hydrating Facemasks or Ice Packs

Many facemasks are available today, but opt for ionized mineral water with hydrating formulas. These help the water to penetrate your skin and replenish it. If your skin starts itching too much, use icepacks, wrapping them in a thin piece of cloth.

4. Don’t Over-Exfoliate

You may feel like exfoliating your skin for better care, but don’t do it more than once a week. Over-exfoliation can increase irritation, further drying your skin.

5. Get a Long-Lasting Moisturiser

Dry skin indicates a lack of moisture. Use moisturisers that are long-lasting and have a hydrating effect on your skin.

6. Use Sunscreen

Use sunscreen daily to protect your skin from UV rays. The harsh rays can ooze out the moisture from your skin, making it dry and dehydrated. But avoid oil-based sunscreens.

7.  Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine

Control your intake of alcohol and coffee for healthy skin. Both coffee and water limit your consumption of water, thus making your skin dry.

Take care of the following things to keep the dryness of your skin in control. If you are seeing a lot of redness and itchiness, consult a dermatologist soon.
