Dry Skin
Dry skin can happen when the skin loses too much water. Weather, indoor heating, cleansing habits, age, medications and skin conditions can all contribute. GlowBling treats this page as general beauty education, not a diagnosis.
COMMON CHARACTERISTICS
What people often mean by “dry skin.”
Tight or rough feeling
Flaking or visible dryness
Skin that feels more comfortable after moisturizer
Dryness that can worsen with hot water or low humidity
BEAUTY CONSIDERATIONS
A calmer starting point.
Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers when possible.
Creams or ointments can hold more moisture than lighter lotions for very dry areas.
Apply moisturizer to slightly damp skin to help retain water.
Persistent, painful, cracked or worsening dryness deserves professional evaluation.
