WHAT CAUSES DRY SKIN?
Dry skin is caused by skin losing water too quickly, making it appear dry and sometimes flaky. Everyday things like using harsh cleaning products and taking long, hot showers can cause your skin to dry out too. Even your environment can cause skin to appear dry as some people find their skin appears drier in the winter months. Age can also be a contributing factor to dry skin. As we age, it becomes harder for skin to retain its moisture often leaving it dry and flaky.WHAT CAUSES DRY SKIN?

- To support the skin’s lipid barrier, eat foods that are naturally rich in essential fatty acids, like oily fish, nuts and seeds. The human body is unable to make its own omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, so it relies on your diet to source these vital skin-nourishing ingredients.
- If you spend a lot of time in a dehydrating environment, such as an air-conditioned or heated office, or on an aircraft, make sure you drink lots of water to stay hydrated. It may also help to use a humidifier at home, to ensure the air is moist rather than dry.
- Avoid using very hot water when cleansing, showering or bathing, as this can further aggravate dry skin.
