Dry skin can just be a temporary problem (for example, one you experience only in winter) or it may be a lifelong concern, or simply one of the effects of ageing. Signs and symptoms of dry skin can depend on your age, your health status, your diet, the amount of time you spend outdoors, and the cause of the problem.
People with dry skin can experience one or more of the following:
A feeling of skin tightness, especially after showering, bathing or swimming Skin that appears dehydrated Skin that feels and looks rough rather than smooth Itching that sometimes may be intense Slight to severe flaking, scaling or peeling Fine lines or cracks Redness
Dry skin generally feels tight and dehydrated over the entire face, and can have no oily sheen, a lacklustre appearance and a tendency towards flaking and fine lines. Mature skin or skin that shows signs of premature aging may fall into this category. Please see the categories below for our suggested products to help hydrate and ease the symptoms of dry skin.
