Too many baths and showers can dry your skin. To keep that from happening you can:
- Make sure the water’s not too hot. Lukewarm is best.
- Add salts, oil, or finely ground oatmeal to bathwater after you've soaked for a minute to soothe your skin. Plain water can suck out moisture.
- Take fewer showers and baths. They can strip your skin of natural oils. Bathe every other day or every third day, especially in the winter.
