About Dry skin:

• Dry skin is not a serious disease but it can develop to more advanced skin conditions like eczema.

Some symptoms of dry skin:

• Skin tightness especially after showering or swimming.
• Itching.
• Rough, scaly, or peeling of the skin.
• Redness and fine or deep cracks.

Causes of dry skin:

• Weather: Dryness increased in winter where the humidity and temperature decreased.
• Hot water: Taking hot showers for a long time or frequent swimming can dry your skin.
• Harsh soaps: They are designed to remove oil from your skin which leads to dryness.
• Some skin conditions: People have atopic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis are more likely to have dry skin.

Prevention of dry skin:

• Moisturizing: Good moisturizers prevent moisture loss and keep skin moisture.
• Stop drying soaps: Use cleansing creams or shower gels containing moisturizers.
• Use gloves: If you have to deal with water and harsh detergents, wear rubber gloves.
