Dry Skin

Dry skin can be caused by:

• The climate, such as cold, dry winter air or hot, dry desert environments
• Dry indoor air from heating or cooling systems
• Bathing too often or too long
• Some soaps and detergents
• Skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis
• Diseases, such as diabetes, underactive thyroid, Sjögren syndrome, among others
• Certain medicines (both topical and oral)
• Aging, during which skin gets thinner and produces less natural oil
