Dry skin can be caused by a disease or condition when more serious. Most of the time, chapped or dry skin is because you are not getting enough water (dehydrated). Without the extra moisture, your skin will pay the price (along with other aspects of your body). That's why drinking plenty of water is crucial in both winter and summer.

Dry skin can be flaky, and it is instinct to sctratch at it to get the flaky dead skin off and because dry skin can be irritating to the new skin underneath it.ANSWERA. It doesntB. It's dry
