Dry, Itchy Skin

Anyone can get dry skin. When skin loses water or oil, it begins to dry up. Skin begins to become thinner and drier with age. Living in a dry climate can also cause dry skin. Jobs that involve repeated and frequent contact with water can cause the skin to become dry and crack. If there is a high level of chlorine in a swimming pool, the skin is prone to drying up a lot more. Of course, some skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis have dry skin as a symptom. People with dry skin should start moisturizing daily.
