Extreme Skin Dryness

Skin dryness is a condition that can be encountered at any age, and under extreme conditions, it may reveal indications such as exfoliation, peeling, itching and cracking. Causes such as genetic susceptibility, diabetes and thyroid disorders as well as environmental factors induce skin dryness. Moisturizers that are specially designed for dry skin enhance the water-holding capacity while further moisturizing the skin.
