Have you been wondering what to do about dry skincare on the body?
If you have, we will teach you 10 things that you can do to take care of dry skin on the body. From dermatological procedures to skincare products, we have covered the best for you.
Dry Skin Causes
Dry skin on the body is caused by using harsh skincare products. It can also be caused by cold weather, dry air, and reduced humidity. Taking long, hot showers also makes the skin drier since the hot water strips the skin off its natural oils.
Dry skin on the legs and other parts of the body can also be caused by skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis and ichthyosis. It can also be caused by systemic diseases like thyroid disorders, diabetes, kidney disease and liver disease.
Dry Skin Skincare On The Body:
Get Microdermabrasion Done
Microdermabrasion is a procedure which uses a device to painlessly remove the dead cells on the surface of the skin. This allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively. It also smoothens the skin and gives it a healthy glow by dealing with the flakiness and rough texture. Microdermabrasion also boosts blood circulation and this enhances the delivery of nutrients to the skin. This makes microdermabrasion very effective for treating dry skin on the legs, arms, and other parts of the body.
We offer microdermabrasion for dry skin treatment at our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Clinic which is located in Fortis Suites, Hospital road, 8th floor, room 809. We see new clients on Saturdays at 10am and Wednesdays at 2pm.
