<What treatment should be given to dry skin?>

In addition to the advice given by your dermatologist, you should take the following precautions:

• Wash your face once or twice a day with a mild, anti-dehydrating cleanser.

• Dry your skin by dabbing it gently.

• Gently apply an emollient, hydrating skin care product to ease feelings of tightness and protect the skin against external attack.

• Avoid the overheated, confined atmosphere of apartments.

• Ensure that you hydrate your skin adequately. Drink <st1:metricconverter productid="1.5 litres">1.5 litres</st1:metricconverter> of water a day (unless you are given medical advice to the contrary).
