How To Take Care Of Your Dry Skin With 10 Best Tips

Our skin’s surface has around 15%-30% water, and it is essential to maintain this level of hydration. Dry skin occurs when your skin has a low level of sebum production, unhealthy skin barrier and is unable to retain moisture.

As age increases, moisture retention becomes even more important, or the water loss will cause thinner dermis, drier skin, and more wrinkles.
