Dry Skin
Dry skin is a symptom of underproducing sebum and can be due to a genetic skin type. Hormones, genetics, thyroid conditions, and medications can all contribute to dry skin. Dry skin is typically constant year-round but is worse in cold weather. Dry skin feels dry all over including the face, scalp, and body. Dry skin can be both dry and dehydrated due to pores being smaller in size.
