Treatable causes: Many causes of dry skin. Are you getting too much sun exposure on your face? Are you on any medications known to dry the skin: ?retinoids or topical benzoyl peroxide? Are your using harsh cleansers? Under active thyroid function could cause dryness or other changes in the skin texture. See a doctor to get thyroid checked if none of the other issues apply to you.
