What causes Dry skin?
- Genetics
If most members of your family have dry skin, you are likely to have it too.
- Season
Dry skin is more common in dry climates and in the winter season due to lack of humidity.
- Long showers
If you spend long hours in a hot shower, it can rip your skin of its necessary oils. This contributes to dry skin.
- Age
As you grow older, sebum production in your skin reduces. This can result in flaky skin.
Tips for dry skin
- Moisturize your skin regularly right after bathing to keep it soft and hydrated
- Don’t spend too much time in a hot shower. Take shorter showers or cold ones and twice a day is enough.
- Pat your skin gently while drying yourself up. Don’t scrub while bathing or drying.
