"After cleansing, apply a moisturizer to the skin. This should be done immediately after washing or showering, while the skin is still slightly moist. This will help to retain moisture in it and avoid dehydration," the expert advised.

With pronounced dryness, the dermatovenerologist advised applying another, denser layer of protective cream on top. She recommended paying special attention to risk areas, such as cheeks, the area around the mouth, hands, and elbows.

"Hair with severe dryness and electrification is helped by indelible protection "for length and ends."
