Dry Skin

The majority of people will experience dry skin at some point in their lives and this could be through a number of different reasons.

For most people this this condition is temporary, but for others it can be a concern that affects them for a much longer period. The signs and symptoms of dry skin can differ from person to person and can depend on a variety of factors, including: genetics, age, general health, the weather and the extent of outdoor living, sun, medication and many more.

If your skin is affected by dryness it can feel tight, itchy (pruritus), look dull have redness, a rough texture or a scaly/flaky appearance. In more severe cases the skin can also develop deep cracks that are prone to bleeding and can be very uncomfortable
