Dry skin, medically known as xerosis, is a common condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age. Characterized by rough, scaly patches on the skin, it often leads to discomfort and, if left untreated, can result in more serious skin issues. Factors such as weather, lifestyle, and underlying health conditions can all contribute to the development of dry skin. Understanding the causes and effective treatment options is crucial in managing this condition.

Understanding Dry Skin
Dry skin occurs when your skin loses too much water and oil, which are essential for maintaining its protective barrier. This can happen due to various environmental and internal factors, such as:
- Cold, dry climates
- Excessive bathing or harsh soaps
- Prolonged exposure to air-conditioning or heating
- Age-related changes
- Underlying medical conditions like eczema or psoriasis
Recognizing these factors can help you take proactive steps to prevent and manage dry skin effectively.
