A member asked:

How do i take care of dry sensitive skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Frequent moisture: Avoid over-washing in hot water and dry soaps. Use protective gloves when washing dishes and doing housework. Moisturize frequently with petrolatum products (aquaphor, vaseline) or hand creams that do not contain fragrance. Use gentle cleansers such as aveeno, (oatmeal) cetaphil, cerave.
