How to avoid ashy skin?

We all dread skin problems and ashy skin is one of them. Ashy skin can occur due to lost moisture, dryness and various other reasons. It is often characterised by white or grey skin with pulpy texture, sometimes visible on the elbows.

Here are a few tips to help you restore your lost moisture:

Use body creams instead of lotions: Choose your moisture with great care. You should go for body creams for more dry skin. Creams are best at restoring the lost moisture of skin.

Use skin oils: You can also opt for body oils. Apply the oil directly to your skin. The best time to put oil is soon after you take a bath while the body is still damp. That helps to absorb quickly and deep within by the skin.

Exfoliate at least once a week: Exfoliation helps a lot in getting rid of flaky skin. It removes dead cells from the surface while making it look shinier than before. It is advised to use a soft loofah to exfoliate the skin.
