Skin dryness can develop gradually and affect how comfortable, smooth, or resilient the skin feels. With consistent, barrier-supportive care, dryness can often be improved and better managed over time.
Skin dryness refers to a lack of adequate moisture and lipids in the skin, leading to tightness, rough texture, flaking, or irritation. It can affect the face and body and may vary in severity depending on the area.
Dry skin may feel uncomfortable even when it doesn’t appear visibly irritated.
Dryness can occur when the skin barrier is compromised or unable to retain moisture effectively. Environmental factors, aging, over-cleansing, sun exposure, and certain medications can all contribute.
As the skin’s natural oil production decreases, it becomes more vulnerable to moisture loss and irritation.
