Temperature and humidity levels during winter can leave one with dry skin, chapped and sore because of the loss of moisture and oil. Dry skin is the effect of several factors such as harsh climate, strong detergents, poor diet and hot showers. Heated or air-conditioned air may cause skin to lose its moisture. Without moisture, the skin can harden and flake. The dry air, extreme cold, and harsh wind can dry the oil secreted by the sebaceous glands meant to lubricate the surface of the skin. Dry skin on face is also the effect of smoking and excessive sun tanning beds. The heat from these elements dries up the moisture that keeps skin healthy, plumped-up and youthful-looking. So if you want to solve this problem, please just stop wasting your money and time, follow these little tips and turn your face skin to the moist one!
