How to Care for Dry Skin❓

👉🏻Some people are more prone than others to dry skin. Moisturizing, exfoliating, and other home remedies can often get rid of this. Dry skin may be a symptom of skin conditions such as eczema, or other factors, including changes in temperature or humidity and using soaps with harsh chemicals.

🫧The skin naturally produces an oil called sebum. When the skin produces too much oil, this can lead to pimples. However, having some sebum on the skin is important for keeping it hydrated and protecting the cells from infection. Skin that is not creating or replenishing enough sebum can become dry. Dry skin can be itchy, and it may look flaky and bumpy or have discolored patches. Dehydrated skin lacks water and appears dull or rough.

✅In most cases, people can get rid of dry skin using home remedies and over-the-counter (OTC) treatments. In this article, look at why some people experience dry skin and learn more about this skin characteristic.
