My hair and skin are very dry

Dear Patient: Dryness in your skin and hair could be genetic running in families, or an isolated case. Usually sebaceous glands in the skin help in maintaining smoothness of the skin and hair by preventing evaporation of water from skin. Constant washing of skin depletes skin of the essential sebaceous secretions. Using moisturizer before sleep is preferred. Applying of sunscreen lotions before going outdoors is good. Use such soaps like Dove, Pears which are gentle on skin. If it continues visit a dermatologist for further treatment.
