Some of the reasons include alkaline soaps, harsh and excessive cleansing, scrubs, hot showers, etc. All of these and more cause your skin to lose fats & oils. These fats and oils on the skin are responsible for holding the water molecules as well, and thus stripping the skin of oil strips it of water, too, leaving it dry.

Dry skin has weak cell-to-cell bonds and thus is responsible for increasing the shedding of dead skin cells. Hence, the rapid increase in dead skin cell buildup can clog the skin pores or hair follicle opening, triggering acne. As a result, dry skin acne is formed!

Now, how do you know if your skin is dry, normal or oily?
The answer is here:
The normal skin type has a clear appearance and an even tone. Such skin type doesn’t feel tight or greasy. It should feel supple and soft when you touch it.
- The dry skin type will feel tighter and might get easily irritated. You will find your skin looking flakier and with fine lines.
- The oily skin type will be shinier and might have breakouts. The wrinkles will be less visible, and the skin pores will appear large and dilated.
- The combination skin type might have either oily or normal skin type symptoms around the T-Zone area of the face. T-Zone stands for the part of the face, including your chin, nose, and forehead. Apart from that, you might also experience normal or dry skin around the U-Zone of your face. U-Zone stands for the part of the face, including the eyes, mouth and cheek.
- Refer to these descriptions, and you will eventually realise your skin type! For more assistance, you can get in touch with your dermatologist.
