dry skin
Needs lotion badly
Dry skin is skin that lacks adequate moisture, appearing flaky, rough, or tight.
The condition ranges from temporary discomfort to chronic issues requiring treatment.
Dry skin often results from weather, aging, or harsh products: My dry skin always acts up in winter.
In skincare contexts, dry skin is a skin type distinguished from oily or combination skin.
