Here’s 7 Dry Skin Causes (And Treatments).

Youve got dry skin, but why. What dry skin causes could possibly do that? Dry skin, its quite a scourge especially as you grow older. But what causes dry skin and what can you do about it?

There are a wide range of factors that can produce dry skin. Some are more rare than others.

You’d be surprised at how common dry skin conditions are, and how many people are searching for dry skin treatments. Some conditions are easy to treat, some not so easy.

And if you have dry skin were sure you know just how irritating it can be. Maybe your skin is all dull and flaky, red or even painful. And that itching.

Normal skin has it’s own layer of naturally occurring oils. These are produced by the skin and help protect our skin. But when this layer of protective oils is removed for one reason or another it causes the symptoms known as dry skin.

So lets look at some dry skin causes. Theres some that are easy to treat, and some not so easy.

1. Long hot baths. Now of course like most women you love that bath as hot as you can stand it and for as long as you have the time. But that bath is stripping away those natural skin oils. A shower is better, not for as long and not as hot.

2. Skin care products and cosmetics. You might find it hard to believe but many big name skin care products and cosmetics have ingredients in them that are not at all good for your skin. If this is news to you spend a little time on google researching dangerous skin care products and cosmetics.

Many ingredients actually dry our skin. An example is mineral oil. Mineral oil is a petrochemical product (ie derived from crude oil) and damages your skin, but is used because it is cheap.

You are much better using high quality natural skin care products that won’t damage your skin and will help you overcome your dry skin problem much more effectively.

3. Exposure to the sun. Don’t ever get sunburned if you can avoid it. Sunburn dries and damages the skin, and can lead to skin cancer.

4. Weather. This also can cause dry skin conditions by reducing humidity and dry your skin out. For example those living in cold dry winters may well find that they suffer from dry skin in winter, but if it is more humid in summer they don’t. This can usually be corrected with a high quality natural moisturizer, or even better, a complete natural skin care product.

5. Soaps and detergents. These can dry your skin, particularly modern big name soaps and shampoos. These also contain ingredients that can be damaging to your skin. Avoid soaps that lather a lot and leave your skin feeling squeaky clean. Avoid deodorizing soaps and soaps with anti bacterial ingredients. Use natural soaps with no fragrances or deodorizing and keep changing them till you find the right one for you.

6. Medical conditions like psoriasis, and drugs. There is a range of different medical conditions that can cause dry skin. For conditions like psoriasis and eczema consult your doctor, and be aware as well that there are some drugs that can also cause dry skin conditions.

7. Avoid itchy clothes, they too can cause skin dryness.

There’s 7 causes of dry skin. But what do you do about it? Well for medical conditions as I’ve said, see a doctor or dermatologist. But often this isn’t necessary.

I have already suggested some dry skin treatments that will work for some. Keep showers shorter and cooler, use more natural soaps and shampoos, try soaps out until you find a good one for you. And be aware of choosing natural alternatives to any product that you put on your skin. They are often cheaper and safer.

And lastly you really ought to use a high quality range of natural skin care products to combat dry skin. The highest quality natural skin care products contain natural moisturizers like Babassu oil, from the nut of the Babassu tree, and avocado oil. As well as moisturizing better they are also safer.

Surprising though it sounds, the very best natural skin care products, as well as working better and being safer than the big brand skin care products, and very cost competitive. That’s because the company that makes them doesn’t spend big on TV advertising then factor that into the price of the product.

So there you have 7 dry skin causes, most of which you should be able to treat yourself, using a combination of your new found knowledge about the causes of dry skin, together with a regime of natural skin care products. Those are the best dry skin care tips we can provide.
