How do you know if you have dry skin?

Usually dry skin results in flakiness, when your skin starts to peel or even ashiness, when you can see that your skin is dried out. Another way you can tell if your skin is too dry is if you pull at your skin and it is too dry to flex and it feels like it is cracking. If your skin is dry the best solution is to use a good moisturizer/ lotion.
