Causes of Dry Skin: <\/strong>
\nFinding the causes would be a step towards finding the ways of taking care of the condition.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Excessive use of harsh cleansers leads to removal of the essential oil from the skin, making it dry and patchy.\u00a0 Find a face cleanser specifically for dry skin.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Weather also affects the oil levels in the skin. Dry skin gets excessively dry in the winter months. Excessive exposure to sun leads to this condition. Additional care and moisturizer is required.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Dry skin could also develop due to vitamin deficiencies. Add foods which contain adequate amount of vitamin A and vitamin B.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Oil secreted by the body is naturally less. Hence it has to be regularly replenished.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Your genes are also responsible for making your skin dry.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Medical conditions such as dermatitis, under active thyroid, diabetes, eczema, psoriasis, or seborrhea could also worsen the problem.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Exposure to artificial cold or overheated environment also makes the skin dry.\u00a0 So avoid being in extreme temperatures for longer duration. Do not subject the body to sudden change in temperatures. You could also apply moisturizer at regular intervals.<\/p>\n

Incorporate liquids in your daily routine:<\/strong>
\nWater lost through excessive perspiration must be replaced in the body.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Drinking at least eight glasses of water during the day would replace the moisture in the body. If you are unable to drink plain water add a squeeze of lemon and sugar, ginger or a splash of fruit juices.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Increase the intake of fruits containing high water content like cantaloupes, watermelon, cucumber, grapes, oranges and celery.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 Stay away from caffeine and alcohol. They are diuretic in nature causing the body and skin cells to lose fluids and essential minerals. Even certain soft drinks may contain caffeine.<\/p>\n
