It adds moisture to the air that prevents your skin from drying out and becoming irritated. Plus, there are additional health benefits such as relief from sinus issues.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">  </span></span></div>

Look at the ingredients list of your moisturizer and make sure oil is at the beginning of the list. Some people will even use straight coconut oil on their skin for an effective skin conditioner!</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div>

Specifically, use sunscreen to protect your skin from burning, and wear layers to protect from harsh winds and/or cold temperatures.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div>

This includes body washes, soaps, shampoos and make-up!</span></span></div>

Some of these remedies for dry skin happen to be awesome for overall health as well. Drinking beverages that dehydrate like caffeine and alcohol can also affect your skin, so be sure to grab the water and sip regularly throughout the day. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div>

But, prolonged exposure to water, especially when it’s hot, can rinse away the natural oils that offer your skin protection. So, one of the less enjoyable remedies for dry skin is taking shorter showers and spending less time soaking and swimming. But when you do, lather up with an oil-based moisturizer afterwards!</span></span></div>
