Dry Skin
Dry Skin is caused by under and inactive oil grands that doesn't produce enough sebum to keep the skin naturally lubricated. No visible pores. This type of skin has a dry parched appearance and has a tendency to flake easily. It is prone to wrinkles, laugh lines or premature aging wrinkles due to the inability to retain moisture as well as the insufficient production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. Dry skin often has problems in cold weather and ages faster than normal or oily skin. Droplets of perspiration appear only above upper lip. People with this type of skin normally have to choose their cosmetics carefully, and avoid environmental irritants like prolonged sun exposure. There is also a tendency for people in this grouping to have dry hair.
