I think having a personal care routine is important as the skin gets drier as it ages. One of my best friends was told by a dermatologist to give herself a skin care regimen as her dry skin could easily become irritated, itchy, and cause an infection.
First of all, in my routine I use a soap-free shower gel of various brands (QV, Cetaphil, Dermeze, Dermaveen), Dermal, which contain oatmeal.
Second, I use different body creams – CeraVe’s Moisturizing Cream, Cetaphil’s, Dermal’s and now I try Weeledas Body Butter after my evening shower. I use these creams either every night or second night on my arms, legs, chest to avoid dryness or itchiness on my porcelain skin, which can easily be dried out by the Australian sun.
I take special care of my feet by using an exfoliator to get rid of thick heels and applying Eucerin’s Heel Cream or Dermal’s Foot Cream to keep them hydrated.
