 What's
Love Got To Do With It?
(NAPSI)-Can dry skin cause your love life to tank? It just
might, according to one survey.
A survey found dry skin may affect people's
love lives.
A whopping 69 percent of men and 68 percent of women recently
polled by Kelton Research said it was "a turn-off"
to be touched by someone with rough skin. This could be especially
bad news for guys looking to connect, since almost a quarter
of them admitted to waiting till their skin was literally
cracked before applying lotion.
So what's the best way to keep your skin-and possibly your
relationship-healthy? Skin care expert Dr. Francesca Fusco,
one of New York City's most sought-after dermatologists, offers
these tips:
• Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize-The good news
is you don't have to spend $200 on skin cream. You can find
a number of inexpensive, heavy moisturizers to keep your skin
looking supple. Products such as Pond's Dry Skin Cream will
soften and smooth skin to leave it looking radiant.

• Take It Off-Don't wear makeup while exercising. Makeup
prevents perspiration from being excreted correctly and can
cause breakouts. Wash your face and add a light moisturizer
before hitting the gym.
• Splish Splash-To avoid dry skin and even eczema,
avoid long hot baths and showers. Apply a hard-working lotion
such as Suave Skin Therapy Advanced Therapy Lotion after bathing.
The formula, with multivitamins and glycerin, helps damp skin
lock in moisture.
• Protect Hands-Take steps to keep your hands moisturized
and looking young. Coat hands with a heavy moisturizer daily
and try to wear moisturizing gloves overnight, once a week.
• Drink Up-Drink at least eight glasses of water throughout
the day. If you smoke, quit. Smoking adds premature lines
and dryness to the face.
• Exfoliate Twice A Week-Use products made from tiny
polyethylene beads, which have no rough edges, when exfoliating
your face. For the body, try Caress Sensational Smoothing
Body Wash. The lather, featuring tiny polishing pearls, gently
smooths the skin.
• What's On Your Plate?-Whether you're on South Beach,
The Zone or Atkins, pay attention to what you eat. Many people
don't get enough unsaturated fat-a nutrient vital to good
skin health. Try supplementing your diet with flaxseed or
fish oil capsules daily.
