Dry skin and itching can affect your sleep, cause irritability, or be a sign of a disease. Beautiful skin is the first step in looking immense. Dry skin is a very general skin problem and is often worse during the winter when environmental moisture is low.

Dry skin happens most normally on the arms and legs, but can also affect the trunk of the body. Dry skin very commonly produces itching, which can be severe and hinders with sleep and other daily activities. Dry skin and scratching may result in dermatitis when the skin becomes red (inflamed) in addition to dry and scaly.

The skin loses wetness and may crack and peel, or become irritated and inflamed. The water content of the skin can reduce causing the skin to become dry and sometimes itchy. Dry skin can also come from various medications, from not sufficient water and lubrication in the body and, of course, from low estrogen stages.
