As part of your dry skin treatment plan, dermatologists would
also recommend properly moisturising your skin to help relieve
very dry skin. Here’s where using the right kind of cream, lotion,
or ointment is essential. Even if you have mildly dry skin, a good
moisturising routine is essential to protect and keep your skin
smooth, supple and youthful-looking.
Oilum: Your Key to Beautifully
Hydrated Skin
A suitable moisturiser is vital for people with very dry skin. A
brand renowned for its skincare products, Oilum is formulated
by dermatologists to help boost skin moisture and effectively
combat severe dry skin.
Made with natural ingredients like olive oil and collagen, Oilum
restores skin hydration and balance in three ways: hydrating,
firming, and protecting the skin. This is achieved through:
1. Improving the environment of the dry skin to a condition
that effectively supports the skin’s rehydration mechanism
2. Maintaining the improved environment by protecting the
skin from damaging environmental factors without suffocating
the skin
3. Facilitating the skin in its natural rehydration and repair
mechanism
2-Step Daily Care with Oilum
If you have excessively dry skin, keep your skincare simple.
Oilum is designed with simplicity in mind – all you need is a
2-step routine. Start with Oilum Hydro-Rebalance Firming
Cleanser to gently clean your skin, followed by thoroughly
moisturising your skin with Oilum Derma-Firm Lotion.
When you have very dry skin, even the mildest soaps can irritate
your skin. Gentle and moisturising, Oilum Hydro-Rebalance
Firming Cleanser ensures your skin is hydrated while you stay
clean and fresh. Made with a combination of natural olive oil
and collagen, this cleanser locks in moisture by supporting the
skin’s ability to re-balance its hydration levels. Thus, your skin
won’t dry out, staying supple and moisturised after every shower.
This cleanser can also be used as an alternative to regular
handwash to keep your hand soft and smooth.
The second step is to moisturise after every shower. Suitable for
all skin types, Oilum Derma-Firm Lotion offers a high efficacy,
safety, non-sensitivity, and non-irritancy formula that effectively
hydrates, nourishes and protects the skin. This lotion contains
healthy antioxidants that help prevent free-radical damage while
acting as a Double-UV filter to shield your skin from damaging
UV-A and UV-B rays.
A consistent skincare routine using Oilum will ensure soft, supple,
and youthful skin. As the products have all undergone stringent
quality tests to ensure their safety and efficacy, you can use
them with peace of mind.
Tips for Relieving Dry Skin
Skincare products aside, you can also complement your daily
cleansing and moisturising routines with these tips to relieve
dry skin:
• When you shower, use
lukewarm water as hot
water can strip
moisture and
natural oils from
your skin. Also,
refrain from
taking a long
bath or shower
– keep it to 5 or
10 minutes if
possible.
• Pick gentle or
non-irritating
laundry detergent.
Look for detergents
that are gentle on the skin
or hypoallergenic.
• Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air to prevent your
skin from drying out. This is helpful if you tend to be in airconditioned
rooms for many hours a day.
• While your air conditioner helps cool and filter the air, it also
lowers air humidity which can rob your skin of moisture and
dry it out. Switch it off temporarily when the room has cooled,
or take a break from the room if you can’t turn it off
• Stay hydrated throughout the day. Drink more water if you
sweat a lot or if the weather is hot and dry.
• Wear non-latex rubber gloves to protect your hand from
harsh household cleaners and dish detergents, which are
proven skin irritants.
• As nutrient deficiency can contribute to dry skin, ensure your
diet has optimal amounts of vitamin A, C, D, E, zinc, selenium
and iron. You can obtain these vitamins and minerals from
foods like sweet potatoes, liver, fruits, cod liver oil, nuts,
seeds, and bell peppers. Consuming omega-3, green tea
antioxidants, and turmeric can also help prevent dry skin.
Avoid anything that drains moisture from the body – for
example, alcohol, caffeine, and excessive salt.
