What causes you to have dry skin?
There are external and internal factors that can contribute to dry skin. Usually, though, it’s a skin type that’s specific to you.
Your skin is made up of many layers, with the stratum corneum being the outermost layer of the epidermis. It serves an important function as a protective barrier for your skin. The stratum corneum helps with hydration and when it is degraded, the result can be dry skin.
Factors that may contribute to dry skin include:
- Immune response (Atopy),
- nutritional deficiency,
- An existing skin condition,
- Specific diseases (diabetes, thyroid, malnutrition, kidney),
- Aging,
- hormones,
- Genetics,
- Environment (climate, sun exposure, humidity),
- some drugs,
- Skin products that contain ingredients that dry out your skin
