Say Goodbye to Dry Skin – Understanding & Treating Dryness

Dry skin is a common concern that occurs when the skin lacks sufficient moisture or hydration in its outermost layer. This often results in flakiness, rough patches, and persistent dryness. As a result, the skin may feel tight, itchy, and irritated, leading to redness and discomfort. Prolonged dryness and constant scratching can cause the skin to become thickened, darkened, and leathery over time. While dry skin can affect anyone, it is more prevalent in colder climates and tends to impact infants, young children, and older adults more frequently.

Causes of Dry Skin

• Environmental Factors – Cold weather, low humidity, and excessive exposure to air conditioning or heaters can strip the skin of its natural moisture.
• Hormonal & Metabolic Conditions – Underlying health conditions such as hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus can contribute to skin dryness.
• Medications – Certain medications like Isotretinoin (used for acne) and antihistamines (used for allergies) can cause dehydration of the skin.
• Genetic Skin Conditions – Disorders like Ichthyosis vulgaris can cause excessive dryness, leading to a scaly, rough texture, while atopic dermatitis (eczema) has a genetic link and results in chronic dryness.
• Harsh Cleansers & Overwashing – Frequent use of strong soaps and cleansers can strip the skin of its natural protective oils, leaving it feeling dry and tight.
• Body Areas Prone to Dryness – Areas with fewer oil glands, such as the arms and legs, are more susceptible to dryness.
• Chronic Skin Conditions – Conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and atopic dermatitis can lead to persistent, severe dryness that requires medical attention.
