Dry Skin affects many older people, particularly on their lower legs, elbows, and forearms. The skin feels rough and scaly and often is accompanied by
a distressing, intense itchiness. Low humidity ? caused by overheating during the winter and air conditioning during the summer ? contributes to dryness and itching. The loss of sweat and oil glands as you age also may worsen dry skin. Anything that further dries your skin ? such as overuse of soaps, antiperspirants, perfumes, or hot baths ? will make the problem worse. Dehydration, sun exposure, smoking, and stress also may cause dry skin. Check out this page for detailed information on creams for getting rid of dry skin.

The simplest and cheapest way to keep your skin healthy and young looking is to stay out of the sun. Sunlight is a major cause of the skin changes we think of as aging ? changes such as wrinkles, dryness, and age spots. Your skin does change with age. For example, you sweat less, leading to
increased dryness. As your skin ages, it becomes thinner and loses fat, so it looks less plump and smooth. It’s never too late to protect yourself from
the harmful effects of the sun. People who smoke tend to have more wrinkles than nonsmokers of the same age, complexion, and history of sun
exposure. It may be because smoking also plays a role in damaging ELASTIN proteins. Facial wrinkling increases with the amount of cigarettes
and number of years a person has smoked.
