About Dry Skin
In most cases, dry skin is not a serious condition. More than anything, dry skin can be uncomfortable and unattractive. In general, the legs and arms are usually the driest areas on the body. Skindryness can cause the skin to be:
- Rough
- Scaly
- Itchy
- Chapped
- Cracked
- Red
Causes of Dry Skin
Some causes of dry skin can include:
- Weather: cold temperatures and low humidity can dry out the skin
- Hot water: hotness of the water can break the skin’s barrier
- Soaps and detergents: these can strip the skin of natural moisturizers
- Sun exposure: UV radiation from the sun may dry out the skin
Treating Dry Skin
It’s relatively simple to ease dry skin by understanding and avoiding its causes and replenishing the skin’s moisture with treatment.
