The low sebum levels found in dry skin can make it very sensitive. As dry skin can't retain moisture, it use to have a parched look. Unless you use a moisturizer or skin cream, it feels very tight and uncomfortable after washing. When skin is extremely dry and dehydrated, signs like chapping and cracking appear.

Dryness is increased by wind, extremes of temperature and air-conditioning, all of which make the skin to flake, chap and feel tight. This type of skin is tightly drawn over bones. It looks dull, especially on the cheeks and around the eyes. There can be tiny expression lines on these spots and at the comers of the mouth.

Causes

- The oil glands do not supply enough lubrication to the skin. As a result, the skin becomes dehydrated. - Ailments such as dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, or seborrhea. - Dry skin can be due to a genetic condition. - Poor diet. Nutritional problems, specially deficiencies of vitamin A and the B vitamins, can also contribute to dry skin. - Environmental factors such as exposure to wind, cold, sun, chemicals, or cosmetics, or excessive bathing with abrasive soaps. - Skin gets exposed to the elements especially in winter.

Other dry skin causes are: - Low thyroidal activity. - Diabetes-related skin complications. - Some drugs, including diuretics, antispasmodics, and antihistamines, can contribute to dry skin.

Taking care of your skin

Avoid the use of tap water when cleansing dry skin. The skin can be strongly dried up by the deposits. And never, ever use hot water. You can refresh your face using mineral water. Don't use a washcloth; a rough texture can be irritant. In the morning, apply a spray of mineral water on your skin misted on with a plant sprayer. Lightly pat dry.

Dry skin needs plenty of thorough but gentle cleansing, regular stimulation with massage and generous quantities of oil and moisturizing products. Extra careful protection is also required. Cleansing dry skin with soap and water not only removes grime but also the natural oil that protect the skin. A moisturizer increases the water content of the outer layers of the skin and gives it a soft, moist look.

Use non-detergent, neutral-pH dry skin products to cleanse your skin. Avoid using any commercial soap. And always touch your face gently. Double-cleanse using a cream, leaving a light, thin film of it over the skin after the second application.

Follow a shower or a bath with a mild application of baby oil. Massage your face with home-made nourishing cream every night before going to sleep. Apply the cream generously in the areas nearby the eyes where tiny lines and crows feet are born.

Avoid coming in contact with highly alkaline soaps and detergents like washing sodas and powders which include strongly alkaline and drying components.

Applying a thin film of air-excluding moisturizer after moistening with water restores dry skin's suppleness.
