Dry Skin Treatments

The causes of dry skin, also known as xerosis or xeroderma, include cold or dry weather, sun damage, inappropriate lotions, and overbathing. Although dry skin is mostly experienced in the wintertime, it is not uncommon for your skin to feel dry during other seasons as well. Dry skin differs from person to person depending on age, health, skin tone, sun exposure, etc. It sometimes leaves you feeling itchy and skin tightness.
