JAKARTA - Dry facial skin tends to peel and crack easily. Another problem that often arises for those of you who have dry skin is when applying makeup.

Of course, it takes good skin preparation to hydrate your facial skin before applying makeup. Because if the face is not properly hydrated, the makeup will not stick perfectly on your face.

Makeup will crack easily and not last long. But don't worry, you can still overcome your dry skin problems with some of the tips below, launching Medical News Today, Tuesday, June 28.

Use Moisturizer

Moisturizer or moisturizer functions to maintain the skin's skin barrier. So, with regular application of moisturizer, skin moisture can be maintained and dry skin can be overcome.

Using a facial moisturizer at night can provide extra benefits. You can apply a moisturizing facial cream at night before going to bed. Then, rinse your face the next day with a gentle facial wash in the morning.

Use a Gentle Facial Cleanser

Soaps with fragrances, dyes, and other chemicals can irritate and dry out the skin. To avoid dry skin, you should choose a cleanser or facial soap that is mild and fragrance-free. In addition, avoid skincare products that contain alcohol, artificial coloring, and plastic.

Exfoliating Routine

The skin is constantly producing new cells and shedding old cells. When dead skin cells stick to the surface, the pores will close and make the face feel rough. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, treat dry skin, and improve overall skin texture.

Avoid washing your face with hot water

If you have dry skin, avoid washing your face or taking hot showers. Although hot water can relax the body, water that is too hot can actually make dry facial skin drier and more textured.

Consume Lots of Water

The important and main thing you need to do to overcome your dry skin problem is to treat it from within. Consuming lots of water intake can make skin feel healthier, moisturized, and glowing.
