What Dry Skin Type Do I Have?
There are several types of dry skin, including:
- Normal Dry Skin: This type of dry skin occurs when the skin produces less oil than usual, leading to a lack of moisture and a dry, flaky appearance.
- Aging Skin: Our skin naturally loses moisture as we age, leading to dryness and wrinkles.
- Environmental Dry Skin: Exposure to harsh weather conditions, such as cold or dry air, can cause the skin to become dry and itchy.
- Dehydrated Skin: Dehydration occurs when the body loses more water than it takes in, leading to dryness and flakiness of the skin.
- Psoriasis: It is an autoimmune skin condition that causes dryness and scaling of the skin.
- Contact Dermatitis: It occurs when the skin contacts an irritant or allergen, leading to dryness, itching, and redness.
