The skin lacks both sebum and moisture. The follicles are usually small and the sebum is minimal. It looks fine textured, transparent, patchy and fragile. There may be tiny expression lines and there may even be creepiness. It flakes and chaps easily. There are many factors, which affect dry skins and make them, even drier. For instance, washing with soap and water not only removes grime but also the natural oils that protect the skin. Exposure to the sun, air conditioners and heaters also take their toll.

3. The natural oil production is reduced adding to the dryness of the skin.
4. The connective tissue beneath the skin loses its natural elasticity, because the elastic fibers break down.
