Dry Skin

Dry skin, also known as xerosis, occurs when the skin loses moisture and becomes rough, flaky, or itchy. This condition can result from various factors, including cold weather, low humidity, hot showers, harsh soaps, or underlying skin disorders. People with dry skin may notice cracks or irritation, and it can sometimes lead to more serious issues if untreated. To manage dry skin, it’s essential to hydrate by drinking water, using moisturizers, and avoiding irritating substances. Regularly applying lotion, especially after bathing, helps maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier.
