What is going on? “Dry skin is essentially skin with low water content,” says Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. “This usually is associated with disruption of the skin barrier, which means cracks between skin cells, loss of hydration, and in severe cases, inflammation of the skin,” he says.

Ultimately, your dermis — the layer of skin responsible for making oil — may be parched for a variety of reasons. That includes genes; a cold, dry climate (such as in the fall and winter); overcleansing; or using harsh skin-care ingredients, says Dr.

But skin does not love it, says Zeichner. “Extended exposure to water, especially hot water, can strip the skin of essential oils that protect the skin barrier,” he explains. Best to keep your shower lukewarm (he likens this to the temperature of a heated pool in the summer) and get out and towel off after 10 minutes.

2 Make a Switch to a Gentle Liquid Soap This advice applies to your whole body because your skin can go dry from head to toe. Despite the fact that you might like a squeaky-clean feeling, using a liquid antibacterial body wash or cleanser is going to be too harsh. “These strip the skin of lipids (natural fats) and begin to break down its water-binding barrier,” says Stacie Clark, MD, a board-certified dermatologist with Pinnacle Skin in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

7 Tweak Your Skin-Care Routine With Your Dermatologist s Help Retinoids are vitamin A derivatives that boost collagen production to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, but many patients find that they also lead to side effects like dryness and peeling, says Clark. Those problems can be exacerbated in the winter. If you’re currently using a prescription retinoid and it’s causing these side effects, make a few tweaks to your routine: Apply it every other night and use a pea-sized amount only.

Slather your moisturizer on top, or consider moisturizing before applying the retinoid. If those things don’t help, you may want to step down to an over-the-counter and lower-strength version, which is called a retinol, she says. It can be a tough problem to solve on your own, and this is where talking to your dermatologist comes in.
