Moisturize Daily
Moisturizing should be an integral part of your skin care routine. Skin can be notoriously dry, so a thick and emollient moisturizer should be applied several times a day. Moisturizers that are considered “humectant” attract water to the surface of the skin. A moisturizer that contains glycerin, urea, hyaluronic acid or dimethicone is recommended by the University of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Child Welfare Training Program; however, those containing alphahydroxy or vitamin A should be avoided due to their irritating nature. If you prefer natural moisturizers, consider those made with shea butter and coconut oil.
