Understanding Dry Skin

Before we dive into treating dry skin, it is important to understand what makes your skin dry. Well, Dry skin is mainly caused due to insufficiency of natural oils, also known as sebum, on the skin. This lack of natural oils also results in a weakened skin barrier, resulting in: 

• Flakiness 
• Rough patches
• Redness 
• Sensitivity
• Dull and tired appearance
• More prominent fine lines and wrinkles
  
  

Factors contributing to Dry skin are as follows: 

• Cold or dry climates
• Overwashing your skin 
• Using harsh skincare products
• Aging and hormonal changes
• Dehydration 
• Poor diet and lifestyle
