Super soft skin is a must for a lot of ladies. If you feel all dry, it can ruin your day by making you uncomfortable and self-conscious. But it can seem like a constant battle to keep your skin smooth and soft on a daily basis. There’s a reason that things are called “soft as a baby’s bottom.” It was when your skin was softest, and it’s hard to get that back. You might not be able to have baby-soft skin all the time, but you can still keep it healthy and smooth. If you’re fed up of dry skin, you might need to change up your beauty routine. Have a go at some of these methods to help yourself out.
Take Your Products Beyond Moisturizer
Most women use a moisturizer on their face and a body lotion everywhere else. You might also have some specialist moisturizing products, especially if you have a dry skin condition. But you can look beyond moisturizer for other products that will help to keep your skin smooth and soft. Many women have started to look for the best hyaluronic acid serum to put into their daily routine. A serum containing hyaluronic acid will help to rehydrate your skin and to replenish your collagen supply.

Find the Best Products for Your Skin
Everyone’s skin is different, so you can’t just copy someone else’s beauty routine. You might have particularly sensitive skin or have a random reaction to something. If you use the wrong product, it could make your skin drier than it should be. You don’t want to dry out your skin with your face wash and then have to correct it with a moisturizer. Try to experiment with different products to find the ones that suit you best.
Exfoliate
Exfoliation is incredible for your skin. It helps to get rid of dead skin cells to reveal the new, soft skin underneath. You can perform a gentle exfoliation all over your body with a scrub sponge or exfoliating gloves. It also helps to give your body a massage and get your blood circulating. Another way to exfoliate is to use chemical peels. However, you shouldn’t use them often, and it’s important to be careful with them.

Avoid Washing Too Much
Everyone wants to be as clean as the possibly can, but sometimes you have to be careful. Showering or bathing too much can dry out your skin, especially if it’s already dry. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to sit there feeling dirty after the gym! Just be careful not to wash when you don’t really need to. If you do get dry hands from washing them a lot or something similar, just make sure you moisturize afterward.
Create Your Own Products
You can also make some homemade products that are excellent for helping your skin stay hydrated. For example, you can make an exfoliating scrub with honey, lemon, and brown sugar. Or you could take a bath with milk and honey to soften your skin too.
Getting softer skin doesn’t take much. But if you have very dry patches, seeing your doctor might help you out.
