Many people suffer from dry skin; there is no worse time for dry-skin problems than in the winter. Many of us have to deal with flaky, even scaly skin that is at best unsightly and can even itch, or be painful if left alone too long. Here are a few guidelines to follow to help combat this problem.

First, take a look at your bathing regime. This is where most people make the biggest mistakes as far as dry skin goes. If and when you suffer from dry skin, you should cut back on how often you shower or bathe to every other day, or even less. In between, just take simple sponge-baths on the odor-problem areas of your body. Even your face should not be fully washed more than once a day at most, preferably just before bed, when it has a chance to recuperate before facing the drying issues of the daytime. If you must cleanse it in the morning as well, just use a gentle cleanser that is also moisturizing instead of a full wash.
