What Is Dry Skin?
Dry skin, also known as xerosis, is a common condition characterized by a lack of moisture in the skin's outer layer. This can lead to various uncomfortable symptoms, including tightness, itching, flaking, and cracking.
What are the causes of Dry Skin?
- Environmental Factors: Cold weather, low humidity, and harsh winds can strip the skin of its natural oils.
- Hot Showers and Baths: Frequent or prolonged exposure to hot water can dry out the skin.
- Harsh Soaps and Cleansers: Products containing harsh chemicals or fragrances can irritate and dry the skin.
- Aging: As we age, our skin produces less oil, making it more prone to dryness.
- Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, and hypothyroidism, can cause dry skin.
- Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can lead to dehydrated skin.
