Dry Skin Tips

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Melanocyte and melanin. layers of epidermis. Melanocytes produce the pigment melanin, which they can then transfer to other epidermal cells. Melanin can be yellow, brown, or black in color, and the more of it that is produced by melanocytes, the darker is the skin.

With Dermatologist Dr. Miki Garcia…..

  • Always use warm water when possible and avoid hot or cold water.
  • Use an unscented mild soap (e.g. Dove) or a non-soap alternative (e.g. CeraVe, Cetaphil).
  • Do not vigorously scrub your skin.
  • After showering, pat off excess water lightly with a towel.
  • ALWAYS apply moisturizer immediately after bath (within 3 minutes) to help “lock-in moisture”.
  • Use moisturizer several times a day to your entire body.
  • Moisturizing creams or ointments (usually come in a tub or a jar) are more moisturizing than lotion.

Good moisturizers:
* CeraVe lotion or cream

* CeraVe SA Renewing lotion or cream

* Cetaphil lotion or cream

* Cetaphil Restoraderm moisturizer

* Aquaphor ointment

Use unscented hypo-allergenic laundry products such as All Free / Tide Free / Cheer Free. You may also want to try double-rinsing your clothing. The second rinse should not include any detergent.
Use fragrance-free dryer sheets such as Bounce Free.

Please consult your physician with any questions you might have about your skin.

Take care!
