What is Dry Skin?
Dry skin can appear dull, flaky and in severe cases can crack. Dry skin can affect most people at some point during their life but the good news is that this condition is manageable and there are many options available which can be used to tackle your dry skin.
Since there are a number of different factors which may cause dry skin it is important to be aware of which triggers affect your skin in order to prevent and best manage them if they occur.
Dry skin is often triggered by low humidity in the surrounding air, so it’s more common in colder months and drier climates. However, there may be other triggers including:
Taking long, hot showers or baths
Hormonal changes
Over-washing or scrubbing your skin
Using strong soaps, detergents, sanitizers or alcohol-based cleaning agents
Most common dry skin areas are:
The lower legs
Hands
