Dry Skin: Causes, Symptoms, and How to Get Relief

Understanding 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. 

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.
