With tension, worries, anxiety and age, the skin become less active leaving it drier, fragile, prone to wrinkle, lines near the eyes and mouth and losing the youthful colour and glow.
Failure of oil glands failing to release enough oils to moisturize and protect the skin results in dry skin. Environmental causes like dry air, harsh wind, hormonal imbalance, usage of aggressive chemicals, cosmetics or excessive bathing with harsh soaps saps the moisture from the skin making it dryer, flakier and chapped during winter.
Caring for Dry Skin
Avoid using highly alkaline soaps and detergents like washing sodas and powders.
Smoking deprives the skin of oxygen and nutrients it needs for good health making the skin dry and leathery.
Use creamy, mild, pH-balanced products such moisture based cream gels, lotions, etc for dry skin care.
