Dry air: Low humidity can dry out the skin. 2. Over-exfoliation: Using harsh products or exfoliating too frequently can strip the skin of its natural oils. 3.

Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential fatty acids, vitamins, or minerals can affect skin health. 5. Underlying medical conditions: Certain conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or autoimmune disorders, can cause dry skin. Additional Solutions 1.

Protective lip balms: Look for lip balms containing natural ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, or shea butter, which can provide a protective barrier. 4.
