Dry Skin

Dry skin is a very common ailment, especially during winters. In medical terms, dry skin is referred to as “xerosis”. A person's skin requires moisture and tends to become dry when enough moisture is not available when the oil glands cannot produce enough oil as required by the body. This can happen due to cold winter weather, heating in the house, bathing with too hot or too cold water, or rough towel drying.

Dry skin causes many problems. Cracks, itching, premature wrinkles, dry and unhealthy look and marks of scratches are few of them. If you have no diseases that are making your skin dry, you need to address the reasons that make your skin dry and adopt habits to correct the dryness.

What Is Dry Skin?

It is moisture that is no longer in your skin. The body produces different natural oils that keep the skin moist and soft. This helps to keep your skin from being less likely injured or dried out. When your skin is dry the amount of oils that your body produces has been reduced. Your skin is feeling dry, itchy and painful.

Dry skin is often very sensitive as it has a very low level of sebum. Due to it’s inability to retain moisture, the skin looks very dry or parched, and feels highly uncomfortable and dull till it is moisturized. Due to intense sensitivity, the skin tends to flake, crack and chap at places of extreme dryness. Dry skin often seems to be tightly drawn over the bones and is indicated by tiny expression lines around some sensitive areas like the eyes and the mouth.

Skin- why it becomes dry?

Skin becomes dry for various reasons. The sebum on the skin is getting washed very fast because you might be over washing it. You might be using harsh detergents. The weather may be playing a role. Dry air will suck the moisture away from skin. Air conditioners and room heaters produce dry air and that is one cause. Many skin problems make skin dry. Psoriasis is one of them. If you have persistent dry skin with flaking you should consult a doctor and find out if there is any underlying skin condition that is causing this. Sometimes, your daily use cosmetics may cause irritation.

Treatment for Dry Skin:

1] Diet is also one of the factors for dry skin ailments. Plenty of vitamins A and B can help the skin produce natural oils and avoid dry skin.

2] The usage of soap on dry skin should be minimal because it strips the natural oils from the skin and leaves the skin dry.

3] Weather conditions can also be the cause of dry skin.

4] Bathing in very hot water too often will also dry your skin out.

5] The best  thing you can do for your dry skin is exfoliate daily.

6] Another thing you should do to help your dry skin is to cleanse it regularly.

Whatever the cause may be dry skin can be prevented and treated. If caused by medical conditions you should consult your physician. But for the most part dry Skin Problems can be easily prevented by applying lotions and taking good daily care of your skin.
