1. Bath or shower – don’t soak your skin too long!

Too much water in contact with the skin dries it out and strips the skin of its natural oils. Both the shower and bath should not last longer than 15 minutes. It is good to finish washing with a dose of cold water, which will stimulate the skin cells, help firm it and positively affect the whole body

2. Use a gentle enzymatic scrub

This is a treatment that helps exfoliate dead skin cells, thus stimulating the skin to produce new, healthy cells. It is very important to choose the right type of scrub. In case of dry skin an enzymatic peeling will be suitable, as it is delicate and, as opposed to granular peels, it does not affect the skin mechanically – it removes dead epidermis non-invasively.

3. Intensely moisturize your skin at night

Sleep is a time when the skin has the opportunity to regenerate properly. These few hours, during which we do not perform any activities, is the best time to apply intensive moisturizing cosmetics. Masks, oils based on aloe, seaweed, or shea butter applied regularly to hands, feet and other dry skin areas will help keep the skin in good condition. On the face, on the other hand, it is good to apply a portion of moisturizing serum with hyaluronic acid.
