How to Care
: Ask your skin care provider for assistance on the right skin program for your skin.
DRY SKIN:
The symptoms most associated with dry skin include: scaling, itching, and cracks in the skin. This can feel tight and
itchy after washing. Sometimes it can be flaky with little patches of dandruff. 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 too.
Increasing your skins body moisture:
Use bath oils and moisturizers daily. Apply just after a bath or shower, when your skin is still damp.
Avoid products with alcohol.
Use a humidifier if the air is dry.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Have a balanced diet and exercise.
OILY SKIN:
Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous oil secreting glands overproduce more oil than is needed for proper lubrication
of the body's skin. This excess oil can clog pores and also cause skin blemishes. Oily skin is probably mainly a
factor of heredity, but it is known to be affected by factors such as diet, hormone levels, and lifestyle. Humidity and
hot weather can also stimulate the sebaceous glands into producing more oil than normal. Because human skin
tends to become dryer with age, and because of the hormonal changes of adolescents, oily skin is common in
teenagers, but it can occur at any age. Oily skin is prone to "breakouts" well past adolescence and has a chronically
shiny appearance, an oily or greasy feeling, as well as enlarged pores.
Maintaining oily skin:
Wash area with soap (i.e. facial soap for the face)
Blot oily areas occasionally with clean oil blotting sheets
Avoid eating greasy and fatty foods. Maintain a healthy diet.
