Never do these things to your skin if it's dry

Don’t Overwash Your Skin: A doctor says that you must not “over wash dry skin because it upsets the natural skin barrier that holds in moisture and protects the delicate equilibrium between dry and oily.” Simply put, if you keep washing your skin over and over again, you will strip it off of its natural oils. So, limit the number of times you wash your skin in a day.

It locks in your skin's moisture to give you soft, supple skin.
