Dry Skin and What You Can Do About It




 
 

3.Possible Cause: Your Job
You’re more likely to get dry skin and chronic skin conditions if you work with certain chemical and biological materials, or with extreme temperatures. Examples of these kinds of jobs are in food service, cosmetology, health care, agriculture, cleaning, painting, mechanics, printing, and construction. You can use protective gear and try to limit exposure to the materials, especially if you see symptoms of dry skin or atopic dermatitis.

 

4.Possible Cause: Smoking
It not only causes wrinkles and messes with the blood flow to your outermost layers of skin, but smoking also causes coarse, dry skin. And it’s the leading cause of preventable death in the world.
