To reduce the greasy feel of thicker creams, rub a small amount into your hands and then rub it over the affected areas until neither your hands nor the affected area feels greasy.

LIVING WELL
Dry skin a common condition for we
desert dwellers, occurs when your skin
surface isn't retaining sufficient
moisture. Even if you live in a part of the
world where cold winter air is not ever a
concern, most people will need to
manage dry skin at some point.
Skin moisturizers, which rehydrate the
top layer of skin cells and seal in the
moisture, are the first step in combatting
dry skin. In general, the thicker and
greasier a moisturizer, the more
effective it will be. Some of the
best contain moisturizing oils such as
mineral oil or coconut oil. This is
because they contain no water and are
best used when the skin is still damp to
seal in the moisture.
Using a humidifier in the winter or drier
months. helps restore moisture in the
air.
Limit yourself to one 5 to 10 minute
bath or shower daily. Use lukewarm
rather than hot water, which can wash
away natural oils. Apply a moisturizer
immediately after bathing or washing
your hands. To reduce the greasy feel of
thicker creams, rub a small amount into
your hands and then rub it over the
affected areas until neither your hands
nor the affected area feels greasy. Use
fragrance-free laundry detergents and
avoid fabric softeners.
Always use sunscreen even in the
winter to protect your skin, and drink
