1.<\/strong>\u00a0Dry Air<\/strong><\/h2>\nWhen humidity levels drop, so does the amount of moisture in the skin. Because of this, dry skin usually flares up in winter, when the air is dry. Even in hotter weather, if the climate is arid, your skin can lose water content. Windy weather whipping against the skin can also rob your face of its natural oils, as can frequent exposure to the sun. But you\u2019re not off the hook if you stay indoors either. Both indoor heating and air conditioning strip moisture from the air and from your skin as well.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Hot Showers<\/strong><\/h2>\nWe know that taking long, hot showers can be very tempting, but try not to indulge in this too often. Hot water breaks down the lipid barriers in the skin, seeping it of protective oils. The longer you stay in a hot shower, the more you dry out your skin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
3.<\/strong> Harsh Skin Care<\/strong><\/h2>\nChoosing the right skincare products for your face is essential. Not any old bar of soap will do! Heavily fragranced, antibacterial, and standard soaps with high pH levels all remove oil from your skin\u2019s surface and dry it out. Using abrasive scrubs and fibrous brushes to cleanse your face similarly scours away protective lipids.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Dehydration<\/strong><\/h2>\nYou lose water through your skin every day, even if it\u2019s not hot and you\u2019re not sweating. Water keeps our cells plump and healthy and if you\u2019re not drinking enough, your skin becomes dehydrated, causing a shriveled, dried-out complexion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
5.<\/strong>\u00a0Aging & Hormones<\/strong><\/h2>\nAs women grow older, their epidermis thins and becomes more fragile, making it difficult for the skin to retain moisture. Furthermore, estrogen levels begin to drop, particularly during menopause. Estrogen is an essential hormone for the maintenance of healthy skin and low levels of this hormone impair the production of the skin\u2019s oils.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
6.<\/strong> Medical Conditions<\/strong><\/h2>\nA number of medical conditions can result in dry skin and require consultation from a doctor, including:<\/p>\n
Psoriasis<\/strong> <\/a>– An autoimmune disease that causes the rapid buildup of rough, dry, dead skin that form thick scales.<\/p>\nAtopic Dermatitis (Eczema)<\/strong> – A chronic inflammation of the skin marked by dryness and rashes.<\/p>\nDiabetes<\/strong> – Fluctuations in glucose levels can lead to dehydration that dries skin out.<\/p>\nHypothyroidism<\/strong> – Low levels of thyroid hormones can reduce the amount of oils the skin produces. This sometimes affects pregnant women<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Find the Cause, Get the Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\nOnce you determine the cause of your dry skin, the next step is applying the appropriate treatment<\/a>. However, if you only suffer from dry skin periodically or your skin is just starting to feel a bit tight, consider taking preventative measures<\/a> first to stop dry skin before it becomes a problem.<\/p>\n
