Dry Skin: Food, Fluids, and What a Moisturizer Does
Share
Eating varied meals and drinking fluids are everyday habits. Dry skin also involves the skin’s outer barrier, which is why care applied directly to the skin matters.
What to try with food
Choose foods you enjoy that contribute fluids, such as soups, plain yogurt, or fruit. After washing, apply a suitable moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp to help hold moisture.
What to know about supplements
A supplement’s hydration claim may refer to a specific research measurement. Check the actual study and keep your usual skin care in place. Persistent irritation or cracking is worth discussing with a healthcare professional.
