Many times we wonder what is wrong with our skin, just now we applied moisturizer and still it’s dry and then looks dull. If you also feels this then your skin is a dry skin. When sebaceous glands secrete a smaller amount of sebum than they are supposed to, the skin becomes dry. Dry skin has a look very prone to chapping and cracking. There can be different reasons for dry skin like vitamin deficiencies, environmental exposure, prolonged medication, under-active sebaceous glands or heredity. Regular washing of skin with cold water and use of moisturizer is advised .High alkaline soaps are not advised for use. Use of products with oil and moisturizer are very helpful for dry skin.
