Dry skin is one of the most common skin problems. In order to
stay soft and supple your skin needs to retain its natural moisture. But when
exposed to direct sunlight in summer or harsh weather (cold and wind) in winter,
when the central heating dries out the skin, it quickly loses its natural
moisture and oils, becomes dry and chapped.
Dry Skin Causes:
1. The oil glands do not supply enough lubrication to the skin. As a result, the skin becomes dehydrated.
2. Skin gets exposed to the elements especially in winter.
3. Dry skin could be due to a genetic condition.
4. Deficiency of some minerals and vitamins also result in rough and dry skin.
5. Environmental factors such as exposure to sun, wind, cold, chemicals, or cosmetics, or excessive bathing with harsh soaps.
6. Some shampoos could also cause your scalp and skin to dry out.
7. Conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, or seborrhea.
