Dry skin on your legs: what are the solutions?
If after showering, you feel that the skin on your legs feels tight, it feels rough and has a straighter (the famous “crocodile skin”), there is no doubt they suffer from dryness. Luckily, there are plenty of solutions available to give you to keep them soft. We'll help you make sense of it.
Dry skin is a skin condition. It is constant and does not just affect the face. The rest of your body is also affected. Like your legs for example.
The problem is that, in addition to factors that are difficult to control (such as age or genetics), there are other factors that contribute to dry legs.
So perhaps you have prepared for this dryness without knowing it. Overly hot showers and baths tend to alter the hydrolipidic film, which is supposed to protect our epidermis. Cosmetics that are not adapted to your skin (like overly high PH soaps) also have a negative impact. Just like the waxing or shaving of tight legs that will irritate and weaken your skin.
In order to protect the skin on your legs every day, a “beauty” routine will help restore suppleness and softness:
I always apply my moisturizing balm after my shower. It spreads more easily, faster, and I don’t need much of it.
Do you think that if you have dry skin, you should avoid scrubs so as not to make the skin more fragile? This is a widely held view, but it is not true. Instead, gently exfoliating your skin will help to remove dead skin, smooth and refine skin texture, while hydrating the skin. For this, apply your product once or twice a week in the shower. Massage gently, concentrating on thicker areas such as the knees and heels, then rinse thoroughly.
They are often overlooked, yet the feet deserve our full attention. To prevent calluses from forming, don't neglect your heels. And to prevent cuticles from forming, moisturize your nails and toes every day.
