Dry Skin: a Common Yet Serious Concern
Dry skin, also known as xerosis, occurs when the skin lacks sufficient moisture. Several factors can contribute to dry skin, including:
- Weather: Harsh, dry climates and cold temperatures can strip the skin of its natural moisture.
- Too-Hot Showers: Prolonged exposure to hot water can lead to dryness as it depletes the skin's natural oils.
- Aging: As we age, our skin produces less oil and becomes more prone to dryness.
- Skincare Products: Some skincare products, including harsh cleansers and soaps, can exacerbate dryness instead of helping.
- Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions like eczema and psoriasis can lead to severe dry skin.
