- The following are some guidelines to follow when it comes to water and dry skin: Water temperature should be tepid -- hot water takes more oils away than cool water
- 212.644.6454
- When drying off, pat the skin dry with a towel until the skin is not dripping - do not rub the skin vigorously.
- Plain water that comes in contact with skin evaporates and takes with it many of the skin's natural oils called natural moisturizing factor (NMF).
- If you need soap, use one of the recommended soaps for dry skin that contain emollients and actually replace the skin's natural oils.
- You would think that putting water on the skin would moisturize it more, but the opposite is true.
- For specific medical information or individual treatment recommendations you need to be seen by a dermatologist in person. If you would like to be seen as a patient by Dr. Rothfeld,
- please phone
