Hydration: The way to hydrate skin quickly is to drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol/caffeine and anything else that has a dehydrating effect, and use a petrolium-based emollient such as Aquaphor within 15 minutes of washing (while the skin is still saturated). Use the Aquaphor, or another moisturizer that does not contain alcohol, 4 to 6 times a day. Whether the scab disappears on Monday depends on size
