 Fortunately, all causes of dry skin are due to factors that can be controlled and prevented in whole or in part, including:

  •  The weather has its role: the skin is the driest in winter when temperatures and humidity drop to their lowest levels.
  •  Conditioning and heating, which reduce humidity in the atmosphere.
  •  Shower with warm water, especially long immersion in the bathtub, which dissolves the protective fat on the surface of the skin, which gives him soft touch.
  •  Long-term swimming in chlorinated water.
  •  Use soap and detergent.
  •  Prolonged exposure to the sun.
  •  Skin allergies or eczema. 
  •  Psoriasis is a genetic disease that causes severe dryness of the skin and the appearance of hard shells on it.
  •  Hypothyroidism decreases the activity of sweat glands in the skin and causes dryness.

  •  The patient is also prone to various infections such as hair root inflammation and cellulitis due to cracks in the dry skin. 
  • Allow bacteria to penetrate under the skin.



Treatment of dry skin in winter :

  • In the most severe cases such as psoriasis and eczema, the patient needs custom creams to treat these conditions as well as home care.
  •  Dryness of the skin, which leads to friction and redness, sometimes requires cortisone paints to eliminate irritating itching.


Prevention is better than cure:

  1. Pay attention to continuous moisturizing skin with creams and oils.
  2.  Do not use hot water in showers for longer than 15 minutes.
