Dry skin (xerosis) is caused by an impaired skin barrier with imbalanced oils and can be uncomfortable and unsightly. If your natural protective oils are diminished your top layer of skin cells lack proper hydration causing dry or flaky skin. If there’s not enough water in the top layer of skin cells, which can happen if the protective oils are diminished, dry skin could result. Dry skin feels like anything from tightness around the affected area to rough patches of your skin that can flakey and itchy (pruritus).
Even if you have an oily skin type, you can develop dry skin from time to time. Dry skin can affect any part of your body including hands, arms, legs and face. It's a common condition that affects people of all ages, and there’s many things you can do to improve dry skin, including practising sun protection year-round and even improving your diet.
