What is dry skin?
Skin is considered dry when it is dull and the pores are not very visible. It is often tight because it lacks moisture. There are two categories of dry skin:
- Dry skin that does not produce enough sebum.
- Dry skin that is dehydrated because it lacks water.
Several factors can cause dry skin. These include genetics, taking certain medications, too much sun, not drinking enough water, poor diet and aging.
