Dry Skin Type

A lack of moisture in the skin can result in flaky and rough appearance. This is called dry skin.

What Causes Dry Skin?

1. Genetics

If most of your family members have dry skin, you are likely to have it too.

2. Season

Dry skin is more common in dry climates and in the winter season due to lack of humidity.

3. Long showers

If you spend long hours in the shower, it can rip your skin of its necessary oils. This contributes to dry skin.

4. Age

As you grow older, sebum production in your skin reduces. This can result in flaky skin.

• Don’t spend too much time in the shower
