Dry skin is caused by a lack of oil. It often looks rough and flaky, and frequently feels tight, itchy and uncomfortable. Lines and wrinkles can appear more noticeable, although pores tend to look small. Dry skin often looks dull, doesn’t always absorb products easily, and can be reactive. Alleviate dryness by introducing moisture with skincare products designed to lock in oil. Look out for ingredients such as plant butters, glycerin and fatty acids.
