6 Ways To Avoid Dry Crocodile Skin When You Exercise

by Katherine Crawford

Nothing compares to the feeling you get after an intense workout. And intense workouts are absolutely necessary if you want to change your body.

Sadly, intense exercise can leave you with extremely dry skin.

So here are 6 ways to avoid excessively dry skin when you are exercising with a high frequency:

1. Avoid long and hot showers: The longer and hotter the shower, the dryer your skin will become. Keep showers short and cold. This will allow your skin to retain as much natural oil as possible. You will also cut down on energy.

2. Use humidification: The more humid the air is, the less dry your skin will become. This is even more of an issue if you sleep with a fan or air conditioner. So get yourself a good humidifier and experiment with the different settings.

3. Don't use standard soap: Pay a little extra for moisturizing soap, it's well worth it. You see, regular soap will strip your body of its natural oils. This in turn will leave your skin really dry. And this feeling is really uncomfortable, especially if your facial skin becomes dry.

4. Use moisturizers after you shower: This is a great way to keep your skin hydrated after you strip away its oils while showering. As an added bonus, moisturizing your skin will reduce the overall visibility of any wrinkles you may have.

5. Don't scratch your skin: If your skin itches, use a lotion or other cream to make it go away. But if you scratch away with abandon you can make things worse. And the more you scratch, the dryer your skin can become.

6. Don't overload your system with caffeine: If you have too much caffeine in your system, your skin will never be hydrated. Instead, it will constantly be dry. It's just not possible to have normal skin if you are taking more than 300 milligrams of caffeine per day.

Sticking with an exercise routine is hard as is. The last thing you need is to have to deal with dry skin that looks flaky and ashy. So follow the advice in this article!
