Dry Skin Problem

Posted Oct 14 2008 5:00am

I think a lot of women experience dry skin problems at some time. It is actually more common on fair-skinned people and fairly rare in dark-skinned races. Dry skin is characterized by lack of sebum, the skin's natural oil, affecting the skin on the face and hands and sometimes on other parts of the body in many ways. Dry skin is prone to fine lines in the corner of the eyes and mouth. It is usually sensitive, bruise easily and often appears powdery or scaly.

Open pores may be seen under the magnifying glass but no trace of oil or moisture appears on the tissue paper. Oily moisturizing creams may improve the feeling of dryness and make it less sensitive to the wind and weather. Since the sun has a tendency to make dry skin even drier, it is recommended to use good quality sunscreen with suitable SPF (Sun Protection Factor) for your skin type. People with dry skin often have dry hair.
