Dry Skin

The best kind of cleansing is still the simplest - soap and water. But as soap removes grease, it also removes some of the body's natural oils. 

Battle dry skin with these reminders:

1. Massage in moisturizer while the body is still damp to counter dryness.

2. Pay special attention to your legs - they tend to be particularly dry because they have fewer sebaceous glands.

3. Use thick soaps with jojoba oil on dry skins.

Jojoba oil, pronounced as hohoba, is the liquid wax produced in the seed of the Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) plant, a shrub native to southern Arizona, southern California and northwestern Mexico. The oil makes up approximately 50% of the jojoba seed by weight.

4. Use milk and honey soaps for sensitive skins, including children's skins.

Translucent Glycerin Soaps

5. Use translucent glycerine soaps for extra mildness. These soaps have less alkaline than other soaps, they produce less lather and rinse off easily.
