Tips to soothe dry irritate skin

GO EASY ON CLEANING

Wash your face at least once daily.  If you find your skin dry and tight after washing 
don't wash multiple times a day.

TRY A THICKER MOISTURIZER

If that doesn't help also try changing your serums to cream versions.  You may also want to keep something like vaseline or Aquaphor to use throughout the day.

USE SUNSCREEN DAILY

This should be part of your daily routine.  I have a moisturizing sunscreen that I use daily. I love it because it does not leave a chalky film 

SCALE BACK ON RETINOL AND EXFOLIATION

If you have extremely dry skin exfoliation will irritate your skin more.

COMBAT DRY INDOOR AIR WITH A HUMIDIFIER

Your heater will dry out the air.  This is not ideal for dry skin.  I suggest a humidifier in your bedroom it will keep your skin happier. 


LIMIT TIME IN THE SHOWER

Long hot showers will dry your skin out.  Make your shower short using lukewarm water.

KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR  HIDDEN IRRITANTS

If your skin is dry and sensitive, please switch to fragrance-free detergent, dyer sheet, and body care products.

BE PATIENT WITH IRRITATED SKIN

Your skin barrier may be broken if you have dry sensitive skin.  It takes 3-4 weeks for this barrier to heal.

The twisting cream that worked beautifully in your 30s now sits on top of your hair instead of absorbing. Your edges won't lay the same way. Your twist-outs look frizzy by day two. Sound familiar? Here's what's happening: your hair's needs change after 40. It becomes drier, more fragile, and more sensitive to heavy products with no real nourishment behind them. Most styling products on the market are formulated for volume and hold — not for the moisture, strength, and scalp health that mature natural hair actually requires. That's why in this post I'm not giving you a list of 15 products to try. I'm giving you three — each one solving a specific styling problem that women over 40 deal with constantly — all from Watch & Sea, a marine-inspired haircare line built a...
