| There
are two type of skin dryness. These conditions often coexist, contributing
toward the predisposition to winkles, dehydration and irritation.
A skin may become dry because it has lost its superficial moisture.
This can happen, even on skins that produce too much oil. The surface
of the skin feels taut, is flaky and often slightly itchy. The second
condition, which is more problematic, is where the oil gland don't
produce enough sebum. This is true for underactive skin. The skin
often looks normal to fine in texture, but it is dull. The follicles
are quite invisible. The skin is delicate, easily irritated and rough.
It may be prone to reddening or may be quite sallow (yellowish). It
usually feels tight. |
