Home care tips: I have dry skin so I pay extra attention to it.

I already have dry skin, but as I've gotten older, it's gotten tighter and more flaky, so I've been looking for some great home care tips. To minimize irritation, I wash my face thoroughly with a lather and gently wash. After washing, I don't rub my skin with a towel; I just pat it dry and immediately apply moisturizer. If I miss this timing, my skin dries out quickly.

These days, I find that applying multiple thin layers of cream works best for me, rather than applying a lot all at once. Especially at night, I apply a little more cream to keep my skin feeling comfortable. Since I've been consistently following these home care tips, my skin feels less tight and my makeup seems to go on a little better. I'm realizing that daily basics, rather than any elaborate treatments, are the most important for dry skin.
