Dry Skin

Dry Skin

Skin can appear flaky with a feeling of tightness and itching. Dryness in the skin is caused by a lack of natural oils within the skin. Harsh environmental factors such as soaps, chemicals applied to the skin, excessive washing, and cold weather can often make the symptoms worse. If left untreated dry skin can crack, peel and become irritated and inflamed, so using an effective daily moisturiser protects and hydrates the skins natural barrier.
