SKIN HYDRATION : Skin hydration is defined as the percentage of water and hydration in the skin's outermost layer, which is known as the stratum corner. Adequate skin hydration is vital for maintaining skin beauty and health because it protects the skin from external forces, regulates body temperature, and prevents water loss. Skin dryness can be caused by an array of causes, both internal and external. Here are a few instances of common causes: 1.Environmental factors: Dryness can be caused by exposure to adverse environmental conditions such as cold and dry air, wind, and low humidity.
Hot showers and baths can strip the skin of its natural oils, compromising the skin's protective barrier and causing moisture loss.
 2.Soaps and cleansers that are too harsh: Using products containing harsh detergents or chemicals can strip the skin of its natural oils, rendering it prone to dryness. 3.Age: As people get older, their skin's capacity to retain moisture diminishes, making them more prone to dryness and dehydration.
 4.Certain skin diseases, such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis, can impede the skin's capacity to retain moisture, resulting in dry, itchy, and irritated skin.Certain medical problems, such as hypothyroidism and diabetes, can contribute to skin dryness.
 5.Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can cause total body dehydration, reducing the moisture levels of the skin. 6.Excessive exfoliation: Excessive exfoliation can disturb the skin's natural barrier, causing dryness and irritation.
 7.Drugs: Some drugs, such as acne treatments and diuretics, may induce skin dryness as a side effect.
8.Factors of living: Tobacco use, excessive alcohol use, and an unhealthy diet can all have a detrimental influence on skin health and contribute to dryness.
