Dry skin is not only uncomfortable and affects aesthetics, but also causes premature aging.

Dry skin is a condition in which the skin becomes scaly, itchy, and cracked. It can occur on any part of the body, but is most common on the face, legs, and arms.

Dry skin is a manifestation of excessive reduction in sebum secretion, leading to insufficient moisture supply to the skin and a lack of skin protective layer, making the skin less smooth, rough surface, even peeling, cracking.
