Water continually evaporates through the skin at a rate of approximately 600ml a day. For skin to look healthy and normal, the water content in the the epidermis should be above 10%. The evaporation of the water from your skin could be due to genetics, age and climate. The outer layer of the skin can dry out when water is lost faster than the underlying tissue can replace it.

Dry skin can fell itchy and tight and appears dull and flaky - be sure to drink plenty of water and apply lotions for dry skin.

Lotions and Moisturizers for Dry Skin

If you like me have very dry skin then you need to moisturize as much as possible. Using the right moisturizers for your face will benefit your skin greatly. Make sure you choose different moisturizes for day and night as night time lotions could be too greasy for use during the day (causing your make-up to not spread properly).
