What is Dry Skin?
Dry skin is a skin type that produces less sebum (natural oil) than normal. This lack of oil makes it difficult to retain moisture, leading to a tight, rough, or flaky texture. If your skin feels uncomfortable after cleansing and often appears dull, you likely have dry skin.
Why Do You Have Dry Skin?
- Cold or dry climates – Environmental factors that strip moisture.
- Hot showers or harsh soaps – Can damage the skin barrier.
- Age-related moisture loss – Natural decrease in oil production.
- Skipping moisturizers – Inadequate hydration routine.
- Genetic predisposition – Family history of dry skin.
