This head-to-tail transformation to your morning and nighttime regimes will give you soft, radiant skin – around the clock. But before we get to this infallible routine, let’s take a look at what dry skin is.

 What Is Dry Skin Anyway?

Dry skin occurs when your skin loses moisture content swiftly to become dehydrated. There are several reasons why dryness can happen or prevail in your skin. We have listed a few of those below.

1. Temperature Extremities: Scalding temperatures, extreme humidity, and angry cold winds - take a toll on your skin by drying it out. This is why many folks experience seasonal skin dryness around the onset of monsoon/winter.

2. Excessive Cleansing or Exfoliating: Over-cleansing or exfoliating can dislodge natural oils from the dermis, leading to dryness. This can lead to flakiness and an inexplicable tightness of your skin.

3. Harsh Soaps And Skincare Products: Many soaps and skincare products are crafted to expel oil or gunk from the skin. This can be troublesome for folks with dry skin. We recommend gentle skincare products that ensure a deep cleansing without drying out the skin.

4. Ageing: Your skin becomes thinner as you age. It leads to a dramatically reduced production of natural oils and therefore, drier-than-usual skin.

5. Genetics: Many folks can be predisposed to drier skin due to genetics
