What causes dry skin?

What is the cause of dry skin. I don’t know about you but I hate it! The second fall comes around I can feel it coming on and I know Winter is going to be a rough one!

So with the wonderful world wide web at my finger tips I thought I would look into this more. Not just dry cracked heels but dry skin in general.

I know weather, food, smoking the environs and other factors play a big part but what is the cause and why. If you are one of the unlucky ones then you know how harsh the effects of dry skin can be. There is not just the uncomfortableness of dry skin but the wow factor of embarrassment when other see what you cannot hide.

I came across this article: Check these 11 common causes of dry skin at WebMD and thought I would share the info. Well not that it is mine to share but you know what I mean.
