If you suffer from dry skin, you may want to stay away from bar soaps. Soaps tend to be drying, try using a moisturizing body wash instead. Bubble baths are also important to avoid, since they have ingredients that are very hard on your skin. Try adding bath oil, olive oil, or an oatmeal bath product to the water. Using a moisturizing lotion before you dress can also help.
