How to Create a Skin Care Regimen for Dry Skin

You may think dry skin is because of winter weather, but even sunshine and the wrong products can make your skin tight and dry. What will you do? With the right products for your skin type and consistent moisturizing (morning and night) you still will be smooth and silky--without flakiness or tightness.

Things You'll Need

• Cetaphil
• Day and night moisturizer
• Evian mist spray

Instructions

1. Wash your face. Do you use products that strip the natural oils from your skin? If so, try a less invasive cleanser such as Cetaphil. You can use this cleanser to remove make up (massaging in the cleanser and using a Kleenex to wipe off your make up) or you can use it as a cleanser, rinsing it off with luke warm water.

2. After cleansing thoroughly, moisturize morning and night. Some dermatologists and skincare specialists suggest using two different kinds of moisturizers--a deep moisturizer for the night, since when you sleep your skin soaks up all the nutrients. In the daytime, a lightweight moisturizer works best.

3. In the evening, after cleansing and moisturizing, spray a thin layer or Evian mist, found at the apothecary at Macy's or at Sephora.

4. Let your skin breathe! At least one day a week, possibly over the weekend, go makeup free. Spray the Evian spray throughout the day and drink extra water. You skin will have a glowing result!

Tips & Warnings

• Always wash with luke warm water. If you skin is sensitive, warm water enlarges pores and cold water shrinks them. Stick with neutral, luke warm temperature.

• Only spread a thin layer of moisturizer on your face.
