A. If you're experiencing dry skin on your hands and legs, it could be due to weather changes, frequent washing, lack of hydration, or underlying skin conditions. Here’s how you can treat and prevent it: 1. Daily Skincare Routine for Dry Skin ✔ Use a Gentle Moisturizer – Apply a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer (e.g., Cetaphil, Nivea, Vaseline, Bioderma Atoderm) after bathing. ✔ Oils for Deep Hydration – Coconut oil, almond oil, or olive oil can be applied before bed. ✔ Mild Soap & Body Wash – Use hydrating soaps (Dove, Cetaphil, Sebamed) instead of harsh ones. ✔ Lukewarm Water Bath – Avoid hot water, as it strips natural oils. ✔ Exfoliate Weekly – Use a gentle scrub or loofah to remove dead skin. 2. Internal Care (Diet & Hydration) ✔ Drink plenty of water (at least 2-3 liters daily). ✔ Eat healthy fats – Nuts, seeds, avocados, fish. ✔ Increase Vitamin E & Omega-3 – Helps keep skin soft. ✔ Avoid excessive caffeine & alcohol – Can dry out the skin. 3. Medical Treatment (If Severe Dryness or Itching) ✔ Hydrating creams with urea or lactic acid – e.g., AmLactin, U-Lactin. ✔ Mild steroid cream (for irritation or redness) – Consult a dermatologist if needed. ✔ Check for conditions like eczema or psoriasis – If dryness is extreme or persistent.
