How to get rid of Dry Skin Permanently

1. Find a Moisturizer That Works for You

Anyone can wake up with dry, itchy skin, no matter what your

 age or skin type. You should find a moisturizer that works 

with your skin, helping to hydrate but not making the problem 

any worse. 

Moisturizers containing glycerin and petroleum jelly, like Vaseline® Advanced Repair body and hand lotions, are good for people with naturally dry skin. The glycerin and micro-droplets of petroleum

 jelly work together to lock in moisture and provide intensive miniaturization to help heal dry skin and repair the skin’s natural barriers. 

If you’ve got combination skin, like dry cheeks and an oily 

T-zone, look for non-comedogenic, water-based lotions. 

These products hydrate without adding extra grease or 

clogging pores. 

2. Rethink Your Routine

Many things can cause dry, itchy skin, but sometimes it’s

 because of our own habits. It’s very easy to make dry skin 

patches worse without even realizing it. Anything from harsh

 soaps and hot showers to extreme weather and the 

chemicals found in some cosmetics can strip the skin of its 

natural oils. It’s time to rethink your daily skin care routine.

Look for mild soaps, and lotions made with petroleum jelly and 

natural ingredients like glycerin. These ingredients can help to 

reduce the amount of moisture being lost from the skin. And 

remember, hot water strips the skin of its natural oils a lot 

quicker than cold water – so take short, warm showers with a moisturizing cleanser.

3. Treat Dry, Itchy Skin 

Pure petroleum jelly is very gentle on skin, making it perfect to

soothe dry skin on all areas of the body and keep it hydrated 

at the same time. Choosing a good moisturizing lotion containing 

micro droplets of Vaseline® Jelly will help heal dry skin deep 

down for fast relief from itchy dryness. 

Another alternative is pure Vaseline® Jelly, which forms a 

protective barrier that seals in the added hydration from 

moisturizers, plus any natural oils made by your skin – this 

helps to slow down the natural loss of moisture we experience 

daily. Because of its triple-purified formula, Vaseline® Jelly can

 be applied as often as you like to help relieve dry skin 

patches on the face and body – even under the eyes. 

If you find that despite your best efforts to protect and moisturize 

your skin, you develop a persistent dry skin rash then, consult a 

doctor for a specialized treatment.

4. Prevent Dry Skin Patches

You don’t just need a good moisturizer to protect your skin –

 it’s also essential to shield it from the elements to prevent

 flare-ups of dry patches throughout the different seasons. 

Cover up in winter with gloves, hats, and scarves and wear 

sunscreen all year round. Using an SPF moisturizer is a good

 addition to your daily routine to protect your face from the sun. 

There are other lifestyle changes that can help relieve and

 prevent dry skin – like wearing soft fabrics like 100 percent

 cotton instead of rough fabrics that could irritate the skin further, 

5.Mix Moisturizer with Foundation

One method involving foundation is to mix your foundation with

 a very small amount of moisturizer. Place a small dot of

 moisturizer on the back of your hand along with your foundation.

 Mix it together with a foundation brush or your finger. 

This will allow your foundation to be less heavy, and your

 foundation will apply much easier and more smoothly. 

Additionally, it can give your face an added bit of moisture.

6.Avoid Powder

If possible, stay away from pressed powder. Powder is much 

more likely to collect on dry patches and dry flakes on the skin. Additionally, it will absorb natural moisture from your skin and moisturizer you have applied to your skin. If using powder is 

necessary, use a large brush, very little product, and a very 

light hand.

7.Use a Setting Spray

Instead of using a pressed powder to set

 your makeup, one effective alternative is to use a setting spray. 

Not only does this method add a bit more moisture to dry skin, 

but it also adds beneficial vitamins and ingredients to your skin. 

One setting spray I really enjoy is the Elf Makeup Mist & Set. This setting spray 

includes aloe, Vitamins A, C, E, and so much more. This setting

 spray causes dry patches to disappear, helps your makeup stay

 on all day, and is very inexpensive. The Elf Makeup Mist & Set 

is only about $3.00 at Target.8.Persistence is Key

8. Persistence is the Key

Overall, though many people have dry skin, each person's 

individual skin is different. Make sure to find out what works best

 for your skin. Additionally, do not give up right away if a certain

 method does not seem to work as quickly as you would like it to. Sometimes it takes the skin a while to adapt to a new routine. Remember that treating dry skin does not have to be difficult. 

All it takes is a little bit of special care to make your skin feel

 and look healthy and hydrated.
