Healthy skin starts from within

Improving skin health is crucial to stopping this cycle, but since the skin is constantly renewing itself, it does take time. Steroids treat inflammation, so they work quickly, but treating the skin, not the symptom, is the secret to lasting health.

If your skin is dry, the first thing to do is check your water intake. Dehydration is nobody's friend, but if drinking more water is doing nothing for the dryness, then your skin is likely need more oils.
