Dry Skin 101

Dry skin tip no. 2: Pick the right cleanser

“One of the main causes of dry skin is not using the proper cleanser for your skin type,” Walker says. Instead of a gel-based cleanser, use a cream cleanser if you have dry skin. Even better, switch to a cold cream. Just massage it into your skin and gently wipe it off without rinsing with water. It will remove dirt and makeup, and infuse your skin with moisture without stripping it. This will guarantee that your skin will always feel “comfortable,” not “taut or dry,” Glass says.
