Dry skin is more common during the winter months, when humidity is low. Some people also have a genetic, or hereditary, tendency to develop dry skin. In addition, elderly people tend to have more trouble with dry skin due to the natural changes in skin that occur with age.

Treatment is important because extensively dry skin can lead to dermatitis, a more severe inflammation of the skin.

Suggestions for treating dry skin:

• Taking lukewarm baths or showers (instead of hot ones).

• Limiting baths/showers to 5 to 10 minutes.

• Applying a moisturizer right after drying off from a shower or washing your hands, an excellent choice is our Kukui Moisturizing Lotion or our Coconut Oil Lotion.

• Use a moisturizing body or hand soap, our Coconut Oil Soap will leave your skin feeling soft and smelling wonderful also.

• Use creams like our Kukui Moisturizing Cream during the winter months for extra moisturizing protection, or use as a night cream anytime, and the Kukui Moisturizing Lotion in the summer months.
