Both sun and wind can drain your skin of its moisture. Air conditioning can also be a problem because when air is cooled and its humidity level sinks too low, moisture quickly evaporates from your skin. Here are some measures you can take to fight dryness and keep your skin both soft and supple:

1) Use a humidifier when your air conditioner is on in order to help boost the air’s moisture level.

2) Don’t take long, hot baths. Such baths will induce a great amount of water loss through sweating. Take quick showers and warm sponge baths instead.

3) Either cut down on soap when you bathe or switch to a moisturizing soap like Vitabar in the Vitabath Plus formula.

4) Use a rich lotion or cream on damp skin after showering, to seal in moisture.

5) Use an emollient-rich sunscreen. Two such sunscreens are Vaseline Intensive Care’s Moisturizing Sunblock and Coppertone’s Moisturizing Sunblock Lotion.
