Dry Skin

Dry skin can be recognised by a dry look to the skin, some mild flaking of the skin, and a slight tightness in the feel of your skin. More severe cases of dry skin can be accompanied by severe itching, red or white patches of skin (splotchiness), cracking, bleeding, severe tightness, and pain.

Although skin has its own natural elasticity, allowing it to stretch and move as you do, the drier your skin is, the less stretchiness it will have. This increased tightness can lead to other skin problems such as increased stretch marks, and more wrinkles. *
