How to Keep Skin Dry in Humidity
Skin conditions change like the seasons, as well as with the seasons. Dry winter weather leaves your skin as such, but that's a discomfort that usually can be eased by lotions or creams. However, on the other hand hot, humid air can leave your skin unbearably clammy--and the feeling seems hard to cure. Don't let the humidity weigh you down; change your environment and skin product regimen to stay dry in the summertime.

Use a dehumidifier. Place it in your bedroom, living room or wherever you spend the most time throughout the day. According to Allergy Consumer Review, a dehumidifier works by sucking in moist air, moving it through tubes that absorb the moisture, and dispensing dry air into the room. That means less moisture for your skin to absorb.

Powder it up. Baby powder absorbs the skin's excess moisture, leaving you comfortable and dry. Apply sparingly to the body, and use on a daily basis. Make sure to keep baby powder away from your face, as it may clog your pores and cause acne.

Watch how you wash. Only use face and body wash specifically intended for oily skin. The products are often made with salicylic acid and have oil-free ingredients that'll leave you feeling fresh.

Use antiperspirant. If you tend to sweat heavily under your arms, look for a deodorant that has antiperspirant. This will help you avoid the unpleasant, often embarrassing smell that results from bacteria and moisture.

Make time for tea time. According to HyperhidrosisWeb, sage herbal tea may reduce sweat gland activity. Drink a cup a day, and let the tea steep for eight to 10 minutes for the desired effect.
