Dry skin

Dry skin is characterized by a lack of moisture and natural oils. It often feels tight and rough and may appear flaky or irritated, especially in harsh weather conditions or as you age. Dry skin can be caused by factors such as genetics, environmental factors such as dry air or frequent contact with water, and certain skin care products. Effective treatment includes using gentle, hydrating cleansers and moisturizers that lock in moisture, and avoiding harsh chemicals and excessively hot water when cleansing.
