Keeping bath water at a tepid temperature can help prevent further drying of the skin. Hot water can cause further drying of the skin. Adding oil to bath water can create a slippery surface and increase the risk of falls. Moving to a climate with lower humidity may not be feasible or practical. Drying the skin vigorously with a rough towel can further irritate and dry out the skin.
