What type of fabric is your pillowcase made of? Cotton pillowcases often absorb moisture from the skin and hair, so consider silk pillowcases instead. They help retain moisture in your skin and their smooth texture can prevent acne and wrinkles.
2. Limit Hot Showers
Avoid overindulging in hot showers. Hot water tends to dry out the skin, causing itchiness and irritation. Opt for lukewarm showers to maintain your skin's hydration.

3. Eat a Salad
Incorporate a salad into every meal. Fresh vegetables offer hydration that benefits your skin.
Include legumes (lentils, beans, peas) and nuts and seeds (flaxseed, sesame, sunflower seeds, chestnuts) in your daily menu. These foods are rich in plant compounds that also enrich the body with moisture.

Your skin's itchiness may not stem from dryness but from sensitivity. Some laundry detergents and fabric softeners leave residues that irritate the skin.
Opt for products free from chemicals, fragrances, and dyes.
