Blog: Why Is My Skin So Dry?

Today's health/skincare tip: This comes from Nurse Mary Radford with the question, "Why is my skin dry no matter how much moisturizer I use?" Well, the short answer is that your skin piles up dead skin cells which clog and prevent your moisturizers from sinking in as effectively. In order to remedy the situation, try using an exfoliator, one to 3 times a week. (Microderm abrasion pastes are great for this!) Not only will your moisturizers work more effectively, but the exfoliator will help skin cell turnover which promotes younger, healthier looking skin!
