1. Correct bathing habits: Reduce the frequency of bathing, especially on the extremities, and avoid using scrubbing towels or harsh cleansing products such as alkaline body washes. 2. Skin moisturization: Apply a highly moisturizing cream generously to areas of dry, peeling skin. For best results, apply the moisturizer immediately after bathing while the skin is still damp. 3. Humidification and environment: Use a humidifier indoors to maintain indoor humidity above 50%. Also, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and prevent skin dehydration.
