Dry Skin isn’t usually serious, but it can be an annoyance and unsightly and cause people to feel less confident in themselves.
Causes of Dry Skin Diseases Xerosis Xerosis is in layman’s terms a lack of moisture in the uppermost layer of the skin, the epidermis. Our skin, when working properly, regulates its moisture content. However, there are many factors, internal and external that can disrupt the regulation of the moisture or irritate the skin; such as: • • • • • • • •
Poor hydration - Not enough water intake daily. Most of us should be drinking more water than we do. Aging - As we get older we tend to have diminished amounts of natural skin oils and lubricants. Environment - When humidity is low in the winter and sometimes during a particularly hot summer. Pollution - Air pollution can dry our skin out. Washing the skin too frequently - Disrupts the skin’s natural balance. You should also not scrub too hard. Washing with harsh products - Like soaps, sanitizers, and detergents. Itchy clothing - If your clothes cause you to itch this can cause dry skin. Sunlight - Over prolonged exposure to the sun, can cause permanent damage. – UV rays increase the water evaporation from the skin leaving it dry.
