Dry Skin

When you have dry skin you may notice your skin is usually tight and possibly even flakey, and your pores are almost unnoticeable. After you wash your skin, you can even feel that your skin needs moisture almost immediately. People with dry skin often deal with more surface wrinkles, and fine lines, then those with combination skin or oily skin, due to dehydration. Dry skin is usually caused by too little of oil production in the lower levels of the skin; and not enough moisture in the upper levels of the skin. Dry skin ages faster than oily skin, so it is important to keep your skin's moisture level in tact.

Drinking plenty of water, and avoiding caffeine, are recommended, and are easy ways to hydrate your skin. It is also important to use a good moisturizer with humectants. Humectants bind water to the skin; they draw in water to your skin from the environment; and they help your skin retain the water it already has.
