Any tips for aging dry skin?

I’m in my late 30’s and all of the sudden my skin is just falling apart. It’s so dry and crackly suddenly. Any tips?

Before you go to bed, draw yourself a bath and add a squirt or two of baby oil. After soaking in it for a bit, pat yourself dry and then put on some cotton pajamas. You’re skin will be nice and soft on the morrow.

Baby oil is mineral oil - toxic. Use natural bath salts and oils for body. For face, high-quality products with hyaluronic acid and copper peptides. Non-comedogenic sunblock, stay out of the sun and stop smoking.

Exactly R3 - where is it on your body that is dry and cracking? Feet and hands? For those who have really cracked feet, especially on the heels and on the hands is typically dietary. See R5. This is often due to eating a lot of processed foods and interestingly, it can do with gut health and funguses.
Try Aveeno lotions, but lotion is so specific that you need to find what works for your skin type. For face, always wear a lotion with sunblock during the day and face lotion at night before bed. This is staying young 101 and what has kept me looking practically fetal at 40. If it becomes out of control or painful, see your MD.

Baby oil is awful. It's messy and clogs your pores. If you have really thick, dark skin, I could see it working. I know black people who will use baby oil or thicker, more oiler creams like Cocoa Butter. It really depends on your skin type and finding the right products.

Two tablespoons of olive oil twice a day. Up fish oils and take a supplement with high EPA/DHA. Eat fatty fish as stated above . This is key. Will also decrease inflammation and help your arteries. Best to start to hydrate from within. Eucerin makes an amazing moisturiser with emollients like urea. It’s called Advanced Repair and comes in a huge tub. Apply to damp skin. Any moisturizer you apply make sure to apply to damp skin always so it can lock the water in. Depending on how sensitive your skin is lactic acid is also very hydrating and exfoliating too. A good moisturiser with it in it is called LacHydrin or AmLactin. Some of these work on the face but again depends on your sensitivity. A safe bet for your face is Cerave. They make some great creams that hydrate and are cheap. Don’t wash with soap. Get a CeraVe hydrating cleanser or if your are really bad off, use Cetaphil. What you never want to do is disrupt your natural moisture barrier. We tend to over cleanse as a society and use too many harsh chemicals which disrupt the skin’s natural environment. It’s the biggest organ in the body. Best of luck.

I live in a dry climate, and my skin tends to dry out. After I shower, I spritz my face with rose water, and then apply a small amount of Egyptian Magic all over my face (except my nose.)
I use Everyday Shea everywhere else, I have a wand with a hard sponge on the end to apply to my back. I use a terracotta "pumice stone"on my heels in the shower every day, and moisturize my feet as well.
Hydrating from the inside is important as well, so I drink a lot of water. I generally have tea in the morning, but come afternoon it is water for the rest of the day.
Shea and cocoa butter tend to work best on my skin. Coconut oil tends to be mentioned as the end all be all, but coconut oil tends to work best on oily skin. It dries me out, so I avoid it.

Face or body, get a good moisturizer. CeraVe or Eucerin are great drugstore brands that have effective, no-frills formulations. If you want to spend a little more money for a facial moisturizer (which I think is reasonable—not so much worth it for body lotion), I like Kiehl's facial cream. I use that at night, and during the day use Eucerin's SPF face lotion. Sunscreen is probably more important than a moisturizer alone for keeping your skin from aging. I have worn sunscreen regularly since I was in my early 20s; I am now in my early 30s, and I look much younger than I am. I do have the benefit of having good genetics when it comes to skin (my great-grandmother looked like she was 60 when she was in her 80s, and both my parents look younger than they are), but I still think regular sunscreen use has saved me from a lot of damage.

My friend said to be VERY careful with sunscreens made for Asians, which I heard is the best moisturizing formula with sunblock. This is for day cream. Apparently they can have bleaching creams in them which can be harmful, so read the labels!!!!!

Everything I was going to suggest has been mentioned above: Lots of water to stay hydrated, lots of healthy fats in your diet (fish, fish oil, olives, olive oil, raw nuts, avacado, all in moderation since they are calorie dense), very little sun but some sun (early morning and late afternoon is best). Good moisturizers help and they don't have to be expensive; chain drugstore versions of Eucerin and Neutrogena are fine.
Also, I don't believe anyone has mentioned bathing. No long hot showers or baths everyday. I was having all kinds of skin problems and an older dermatologist immediately asked me about my bathing habits. He told me to stop taking long hot daily showers and instead take short lukewarm showers only every 2nd or 3rd day and just wash up at the sink in between. He also said to just lather up my pits, crotch, ass and feet. All kinds of problems I was having, including rashes, dry skin, itching, etc. started clearing up immediately. He said other people can take long hot showers but my skin was just too delicate.

Not really, it has to do with blood circulation. If you have a desk job and dont move around a lot this is a common problem especially in cold or dry weather. If you do cardo or jog every day to the point where your feet sweat, the problem will solve itself over time. Also, a magic cure I got from a podiatrist once was some stuff galled BagBalm. It's super cheap you can get it at any drug store. It smells terrible and looks like vaseline but it's not and it works within days. Apply it overnight then put on some sock. It was originally invented for cow udders LOL.

If you're looking for something under the eye, I really like Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream. It absorbs quickly so if I absolutely have to use it before I go out for the day, I don't look like I have moisturizer on.
If you have dry spots on the body, Amlactin Ultra Soothing lotion will do the trick. I had some dry spots on my right elbow for years and nothing took care of them, one use of Amlactin and it went away. I still use it twice a week before bed to keep the spots at bay.

Skin care and diet are so linked. If anyone has bumpy keratosis, removal of dairy clears it up. The American diet is not good for us. I'm not just saying for the fat whore but our food are processed and pumped full of chemicals. Start eating clean by 35. Diet soda is garbage. Drink water infused with natural lemon or mint, take a steam 3x a week, always wear sunglasses, take a probiotic, and you will see your skin improve. Fragrance free everything is good as well.

I do. This is true. Both a friend and I have noticed a huge difference. The more that is coming out, the more it is showing that cow's milk might not be ideal for humans. I still do dairy, but I have notice a massive difference. I have a worked out body, so after all the effort to have keratosis pillars, it was worth experimenting with diet.
Everyone should drink 1-2 large glasses or water in the morning, make sure you shit daily, and have a good sweat everyday. You need to detoxify daily and elimination is the way to clearer everything.

R87, I agree that dairy in general is very bad for you (and I say that as someone addicted to cheese and heavy cream in my coffee), but everything I've read regarding pilaris states that certain people are predisposed for the condition and the best you can do is improve it a bit, but you can't entirely eliminate it.
If you've had success, that's great. What exactly did you do besides cut down on dairy? Do you use a particular exfoliating scrub?

No scrubs, R88. The diet and then I would say using plain dial soap with a basic Aveeno body lotion after. Keep it clean and then moisturized. I have read links between KP and fungus, which is why I am focusing on gut health. If you have tough skin that can take hardcore treatments and you don't want to bother with dietary, Differen Gel which is now OTC for the last few years works. My demo recommended it and pre-OTC it was like $250 w/ good insurance. Now it's about 30/tube.

I'm 42 and have nice young looking skin. For now anyway. I don't smoke but I do drink and exercise regularly. My current routine is that I splash my face with filtered water, pat dry, and apply a Vitamin C cleansing paste (Derma-E), wash off, use Derma-E eye cream, The Ordinary caffeine solution for puffiness, and then slather CeraVe facial moisturizing lotion SPF 30 (I break out from moisturizer so I use face lotion). I try to re-apply the lotion a few times a day. I use CeraVe PM lotion at night. Sometimes some other misc face masks or creams throughout the week.

Sorry, my face is still wet when i apply the Vitamin C paste ^ and, this is affordable for me as R112 stated - I don't think I would spend over $20 on a single product.

[quote] why dry brushing and not wet brushing ( water)?
There was a book that came out in the '60s or '70s that recommended dry brushing. I think people are just following that old remedy without reevaluating it.
Wet brushing (exfoliating and washing away dead skin at the same time) makes more sense to me.

I have found that dry brushing works better for me to exfoliate than wet brushing, at least in terms of keeping my KP under control.

Dry brushing is supposed to help with lymphatic drainage.

Dry brushing makes the most sense since it stimulates blood flow. More so than any cream or diet.
