Your Personalized Overview

Your skin profile is a combination of dryness and sensitivity. Below are some of the keys to your skin:

Lighter Pigmented Skin - your skin type is more likely to have some areas of skin that are dryer than others. Getting adequate hydration to these areas is key, with lightweight moisturizers and gentle cleansers.

Possible Hormonal Influences - given your skin type, it may be possible that hormonal fluctuations can be causing your dry skin. As women age, your estrogen level naturally goes down, which causes skin to gradually lose the ability to retain moisture.

Hydration, Internal & External - your skin is your largest organ, and any internal balances will show. Try to get at least 8 to 9 cups of water a day, and also be mindful of sodium intake in your diet.

Simplistic Routine - the less products you use, the better. Your skin is sensitive, and you should avoid foaming and soap based cleansers that strip the skin of natural oils.

Things That May Affect Your Skin

Genetics

80% of your skin is typically inherited. If people in your family generally have dryer skin, then chances are your natural levels of skin hydration is inherited. Although there's nothing you can do about genetics, keeping consistently hydrated with a lightweight moisturizer can prevent most dry skin problems.

Environment

Your environment may be a cause of your dry skin. Pollutants and dry air can suck the moisture out of your skin, which is why it's important to replenish lost moisture using a lightweight moisturizer, while also getting enough water intake everyday. A travel-sized moisturizer can be very handy and worth looking into if you tend to be in environments with dry air.

Eczema

Given that you have are prone to eczema/psoriasis, your dry skin may ba result of this underlying condition, if you also experience itching and redness. Soothing ingredients are key to controlling eczema, such as oatmeal and vitamin E, as well as destressing. Some inflammatory diseases such as eczema actually have a psychological component, and making a conscious effort to relax can provide relief for some people.

Medication

Certain medications, both topical and oral, can cause dry skin, as they lower the skin's moisture levels. Talk with your doctor if you are experiencing severe dryness from these medications, but if the dryness is mild, having a hydrating skincare routine with a good lightweight moisturizer will usually be more than sufficient to curb flaky, dry skin.
