There are a number of causes. As we age we produce less skin oil, that can certainly contribute to dry skin. The minerals in hard water bind to soap molecules and they can stick to the skin, causing a dry skin condition that results in a rash. Soap dissolves the natural skin oils, leaving dry skin. The same is true for many solvents, concrete, lime (the type used in mortar), sawdust and any of a number of materials which absorb or dissolve oils.

∙ 14y agoBecause it;s not hydrated.
But some rare times it's a health condition.
Just hydrate your skin with loads of moisturizer but not too much to kill your skin.
Just after showers or runs /jogs.
Or every 4-5 hrs.
If it isn't getting better seek medical help.

Depending on what kind of climate you live in for example, people in desert or prairie areas have dryer skin than those living in humid climates. The same goes for skin in winter when it is dryer than your skin would be in the summer or spring.
