You’ve probably heard this one before, but putting moisture into the air is a good way to keep dryness away."Sleeping with a humidifier next to your bed can also help increase the ambient moisture in the air, and keep your skin better hydrated,” Dr. Carqueville shares.
4. Look into laser treatments
Dr. Carqueville is also a fan of laser treatments."I always tell my patients that lasers are the fountain of youth,” she tells Parade. “Exercising the skin with laser treatments to develop new collagen is truly the best way to maintain youthful skin.
