Your Bod

My skin is super dry



My skin is scaly which makes me feel self-conscious. I have sort of dark skin, too, which makes it more noticeable. What should I do?
Sounds rough (no pun intended!). But here’s what to do: Get a moisturizing body wash to use in the shower instead of soap, which will dry you out. Try keeping the shower warm, but not too hot, as very hot water will dry your skin out more. And use a heavy-duty body lotion right after the shower, like Nivea or Eucerin.
Make this your daily routine and your skin should clear up in no time. If you don’t bring attention to it, I guarantee it will become less noticeable to others and soon enough, to you, too.
