Common Causes of Dry Skin

Skin that is dry is often tight and uncomfortable. Add a surge of long-lasting hydration to your dry skin with the following key skin care tips. 
 
Age 
As we age, our bodies produce less sebum (oil) and our skin becomes thinner and drier. A decrease in sebum production means fewer lipids (or fats), filling the gaps between cells in the skin barrier, making it easier for water to evaporate from the skin.

Long, Hot Showers and Baths
Showers longer than 10 minutes are more likely to lead to dry skin, especially if the water temperature is hot. 

Climate

If you visit a sunny or dry environment like the mountains or desert, your skin is more likely to be dry due to the lack of moisture in the air.

Chronic Skin Conditions
There are two common skin conditions that can cause dry skin: 

Eczema—a condition in which the skin becomes inflamed or irritated

Psoriasis—a chronic inflammatory skin disease

Seek medical guidance if you suffer from these skin conditions
