4. Moisturize immediately after bathing
Timing is just as important as selecting the right skin cream. The best time to apply moisturizing cream is right after a bath or shower. Just pat your skin dry, apply any medicated creams to the spots where they are needed, then apply your lotion all over your body before your skin has the time to dry out completely. This after-bath treatment helps trap the moisture that has gotten into your skin while bathing.
5. Continue to Moisturize
Keep a travel sized container of your moisturizer with you and apply lotion frequently to the areas where they are most needed, such as your hands, lips, and the crease of your arm or behind the knees. Apply moisturizer every time you wash your hands, and consider bringing your own travel sized gentle hand soap to use when you are not at home, as the anti-bacterial hand soaps in public washrooms can be very harsh on your skin.
6. Stay Hydrated
Keeping hydrated is one of the best ways to achieve healthy skin. Drink lots of water and eat fruits and vegetables throughout the day. Reducing your caffeine and alcohol intake will also help.
