Dry skin advice

Dry skin

Dry skin is most common on your face, hands, arms, lower legs, flanks (sides of the abdomen), and thighs. The symptoms most often associated with dry skin include:
 A condition (not necessarily a disease) where the skin is red, scaly and itchy.
 It’s part of the group that includes eczema, winter itch, psoriasis, contact dermatitis.
All of these conditions have one thing in common at least 10% water loss in the top layers of the skin. At that point skin loses its usual flexibility and shrinks, resulting in cracks, discomfort, inflammation and in extreme cases infection and sores.

 The problem is usually worse in autumn and winter.
 Dry skin is most common on your face, hands, arms and legs.
 As you age, have an illness, hormones and genetic susceptibility are factors, dry skin becomes more likely.

What else causes dry skin? Dry skin is common. It happens more often in the winter when cold air outside and heated air inside cause low humidity. Forced-air furnaces make skin even drier.
As people get older, the number of sebaceous glands that give out a type of oil in the skin are reduced, as is the skin’s ability to hold moisture there is a breakdown in of the skin‘s outermost lipid barrier.

Sunburn is skin damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays. Too much exposure to UV light can make your skin red and painful. This may later lead to peeling or blistering.
Sources of UV light include: sunlight,tanning beds, phototherapy lamps – these are used in light therapy to treat conditions such as jaundice in newborn babies (yellowing of the skin)
Sun safety
There are a number of ways that you can prevent sunburn and stay safe while you are out in the sun. For example, you should: wear clothing to protect your skin from UV rays, such as a long-sleeve shirt, trousers and a wide-brimmed hat wear good-quality sunglasses to protect your eyes from UVA and UVB rays keep babies and children out of direct sunlight
use sunscreen that has a minimum sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 (use a higher SPF for fair and sensitive skin), and reapply it frequently
Most people do not apply enough sunscreen to their skin. For sunscreen to be effective, it is very important that you apply a generous amount to your skin before going out in the sun. Reapply it regularly (at least every two to three hours) and after going in the water.
seek advice immediately from your GP if you notice changes to any of your moles – for example, a change in their size, colour or texture

In the UK, 2,000 people a year die from malignant melanoma, and the number is increasing.
The skin loses moisture and may crack and peel, or become irritated and inflamed. Bathing too frequently, especially with harsh soaps, may contribute to dry skin. Eczema may cause dry skin.
It appears both the skin’s ability to hold water and how well it protects the body, depends on the amount of fat the outer layer of skin contains. This outer layer is known as the epidermis.
Genes also play a role. If relatives suffer from dry skin, you’re more likely to develop the condition. In extreme cases, fish-like scaling of the skin is sometimes seen (ichthyosis).
Over-use of soap and water, a dry, warm indoor climate, excessive sunbathing and other environmental effects have a great influence on how dry the skin can become.
How can I prevent dry skin?
It may help to change your bathing habits:
There’s no reason to shower more than once a day. Don’t shower in very hot water.
Avoid the over-use of soap. Use a mild soap with a skin-friendly pH value.
Dab skin dry – don’t rub.
Use bath oils and moisturizers at least daily. Thick, greasy moisturizers work best. Avoid products with alcohol.
Apply a moisturiser, while skin is still a little damp.
Air your home, and turn down the heating.
Do not over-indulge in sunbathing. Excessive exposure to sun rays can cause dry skin, wrinkles and skin cancer.
To reduce irritation, wear light clothes made of cotton.
Use a humidifier if the air is dry.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Apply cool compresses to itchy areas, and try over-the-counter cortisone creams or lotions if your skin is inflamed. If this is not enough, talk to your doctor about possible prescription lotions. incidentally your skin is the largest organ of your body, treat it as such.
