    Exfoliation

    This factor goes two ways as both not exfoliating and over-exfoliating can result in dry, irritated skin. Exfoliating is an essential part of an effective skin care routine as it helps to clear the skin’s surface of old skin cells, which can help to improve your skin’s appearance. However, over-exfoliating can strip away your skin’s oils and moisture, causing it to become dry. While not exfoliating can result in a build-up of debris and old skin cells on your skin’s surface.

    Extreme weather

    Extreme weather conditions like heat waves and winter weather, and dry regions with low humidity can affect skin by stripping it of moisture, which will then cause skin irritation and dryness.
