Dry skin is a common skin type not to be confused with dehydrated skin, which is a skin condition any skin type can experience reactions of. As skin types are genetically determined, they most often can’t be changed completely – and though they’re not dependent on conditions such as seasons or extraneous factors, these elements can affect your dry skin’s reaction.  

Meaning, what you can do is regulate your routine and make your best efforts to accommodate your dry skin’s needs and cravings to keep it soothed and hydrated, thereby minimizing potential skin damage and unpleasant effects. Key advice before moving on: Hydrated skin is happy skin.
