Dry skin is an uncomfortable condition marked by scaling, itching, lines and wrinkles, and sometimes cracking. It can occur for a variety of reasons, including genetics, weather, diet, or lack of oil. Even if your skin tends to be oily, you can develop dry skin from time to time.

One thing that is clear – dry skin can be uncomfortable and can lead to premature aging. It is essential to use products that supply the right type (and amount) of both oil and water to bring dry skin into perfect balance.
