If you are over the age of 50 or frequently work outside, you may find yourself with dry and itchy skin. Choose a moisturizing cream rather than a lotion to replenish your skins moisture levels. The thicker consistency of cream formulations can quickly and efficiently restore hydration to the skin and reduce the itch. To minimize the drying effects of a bath or shower, try using a body wash formula that contains moisturizing lotion. These dual purpose products not only clean your skin, but they also have been designed to quickly replace the protective oils that are lost during cleansing. Moisturizing body washes can give you long-lasting protection that helps to prevent the cycle of dry skin.
