Common Causes of Dry Skin

Skin that is dry is often tight and uncomfortable. To combat this, it's essential to add a surge of long-lasting hydration to your dry skin using effective skincare tips.

What are the common causes of dry skin?

1. Age

As we age, our bodies produce less sebum (oil), and our skin becomes thinner and drier. A decrease in sebum production means fewer lipids (or fats) fill the gaps between cells in the skin barrier, making it easier for water to evaporate from the skin.

2. Long, Hot Showers and Baths

Showers longer than 10 minutes are more likely to lead to dry skin, especially if the water temperature is hot.

3. Climate

If you live in a dry region, like the mountains or desert, your skin is more likely to be dry due to the lack of moisture in the air.

4. Chronic Skin Conditions

There are two common skin conditions that can cause dry skin:

• Eczema—a condition in which the skin becomes inflamed or irritated.
• Psoriasis—a chronic inflammatory skin disease.

If you suffer from these skin conditions, seek the professional guidance of a dermatologist.
