What Is Dry Skin?
If you are suffering from dry skin, you know the itch, the scratching and then the pain of having raw skin is
uncomfortable. You know that it is something that has happened for a reason, but for most, that reason is not
understood. Why do you have dry skin? What is happening to the skin anyway? When you can
understand what dry skin actually is, you can actually learn how to prevent it and how to get through a dry skin
spell, too.
What Is It?
Dry skin is just what it sounds like. For some reason, the moisture that is in your skin is no longer
there. For most people, the body produces a number of different natural oils that keep the skin moist and
soft. It does this only so that your skin is soft but so that it is less likely to be injured or to dry
out. But, for some reason, your skin has reduced the amount of oils that it is producing. Or, you are
washing away those oils so often that your skin is left feeling dry, itchy and even painful.
There are several ways that this can happen, of course. Most commonly, it is how you are taking care of your
skin. Exposure to the weather elements can cause damage to the skin, first of all. For example, during
the winter many get dry skin because of the wind, cold air and the lowered temperatures have caused your body to
lose those natural oils.
If the air in your home is dry, this too can cause your skin to become dry. Air pulls moisture from any place
it can and if your skin is moister than the air around it, the moisture is naturally pulled out. Another
common reason for dry skin is bathing is water that is very hot and doing so often. This too can cause your
skin to lose those natural oils that are helping to keep the skin moist.
All of these conditions can be prevented. For some, medical conditions are to blame for their dry skin.
When that is the case, it is even more important to seek out the help of your doctor. Often, there is help
for your condition whether it be just applying lotions or taking better care of your skin in the first
place.
