First Alert skin care (DSI 4 to 5): moisturize every day
DSI 4 is where dry skin can start to form indoors. Make moisturizing a daily step, soon after bathing while skin is still slightly damp. Look for water-binding ingredients such as glycerin or urea, and choose a texture you will actually use: a lotion spreads easily over arms, legs and torso.
This week's routine
- Keep your moisturizing body wash.
- Within a few minutes after bathing, while skin is still slightly damp, apply moisturizer to arms, legs and other dry areas.
- Give your lower legs extra attention; shins are often the driest skin on the body.
What to look for on the label
- Glycerin or urea: they draw water into skin
- Ceramides, natural fats in skin, are a common extra
- A lotion can work as well as a cream; choose the feel you will keep using
- Fragrance-free if your skin is easily bothered
Already in your routine
- Moisturizing wash from Low Risk

Each step keeps the ones before it, and the Dry Skin Index tells you when to take the next one. Many homes climb from fall into winter and step back down in spring.
