Dry Skin Explained
Dry skin usually has a rough, flaky, or chapped appearance. It can also be itchy and easily irritated. Dry skin occurs when skin loses its moisture content. In very simple terms, your skin does not have enough water in it. There are many factors that can contribute to dry skin including genetics, weather and excessive bathing. Dry skin is most likely to occur during the winter months due to the cold, dry conditions outside and the warm, dry environment of an artificially heated home or office. Additionally, as skin ages, it loses its natural ability to replenish moisture lost throughout the day.
