Which kind of pears soap suits combination skin? I have got bit more dry kind.

Question

1. If you have cracked, itchy and scaly skin, then yes you are suffering from dry skin issues.

2. Dry skin can generally be managed by simple modifications in your lifestyle and topical applications of prescribed creams. But if it is serious, then medical treatment is must before it gets worse.

3. First I would like you to confirm me some of the things before I can accurately guide you for the right line of treatment - are you allergic to anything like dust, pollen grains, certain chemicals or any unknown factor that increases your dry skin condition?

4. Does dry skin condition runs in your family? how long have you been suffering from dry skin? how is your diet and water intake? how many hours do you sleep?

if you experience dry skin only when weather changes then it can be managed by topical application of antioxidant based moisturizers and simple massage with hydrating oils. Make sure you keep your bathing time short and bathe only with cold or lukewarm water. After bathing immediately apply moisturizer on moist skin. You should avoid much friction or a hard massage as it can further damage your skin. Light application of cream in circular motion is advisable.

Also make sure you drink at least 2 liters of water everyday to keep your skin supple and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. Including dry fruits and nuts will also provide essential vitamins for good skin health.

If you have long term dry skin conditions and you are allergic to certain chemicals then I would advise you to take right treatment under the guidance of a dermatologist. After a detailed assessment of your medical history, specific medicated creams, emollients, medicated soaps, and moisturizers can be prescribed to you.
