People often think that dry skin is caused by a lack of water in our bodies. This is not the case at all. Dry skin can be caused by a variety of factors. Let's find out.

 

 

Dryness of skin Source

Many habits are bad for our skin, and the environment around us also plays a significant role. Whenever our skin becomes damaged, we rush to the market for a cream. Sometimes, these creams fix the problem, while sometimes they make it worse. However, sometimes people fall prey to myths. Sometimes, while trying to take care of their skin, they end up damaging it.

About Myth Skin

The first myth is that people believe that drinking more water will increase moisture in their skin and eliminate dry skin. If the moisture barrier on your skin is damaged, even drinking water will not restore moisture. To resolve this, you need to consult a qualified skin doctor. 

People think that if their skin is oily, it can't be dry. If you've used a product that has removed the top layer of sebum, no matter what you do, your skin will still feel dry. In such a situation, use a gentle cleanser and a moisturizer that won't be too heavy on your skin. 

 

Many people believe that using heavy moisturizers will heal their skin, but that's not true at all. They can cause further damage to your skin. If you suffer from pimples, using heavy creams can even cause pimples that look like small skin breakouts. 

Dry skin is not just a winter problem, but you may also face these problems due to dust, sunlight and pollution.

Exfoliation

While exfoliation is a good thing, overdoing it can damage your skin's outer barrier. Therefore, consult a dermatologist before making your decision. However, a good exfoliant can both harm and improve your skin.

People often think of dry skin as a permanent problem. If you think so, you're wrong. Following a good skin care routine can easily address this problem.
