Dry skin is the exact opposite of oily skin. It is caused when there is a production of low levels of sebum in the skin. Therefore the skin will appear flaky, dry and patchy since it is unable to retain its moisture.
Taking care of dry skin is just as easy as taking care of an oily skin type. One should clean their skin regularly with a gently soap suitable for the skin type and moisture it well to avoid any loss of moisture. Soaps with strong alkaline should not be used to clean dry skin and also avoid cleaning the skin with tap water as it has deposits that are not good for the skin. Do not also use hot water or a wash cloth to dry the skin because of its rough texture.
Dry skin does not do well with heavy make-up therefore if it is necessary for one to wear make-up it should be minimal especially the foundation and the concealer. Avoid makeup products that will make the skin to dry up even more and remember to always wash off make before going to bed.
