Welcome to Too Dry Skin! A website dedicated to owners of xeric skin. This is a very common problem. In fact most people will battle this at least once in their life time. There are many products on the market to help with this challenge. But, which ones should be used. I can answer that. Which ever one is the least expensive but gets the job done!

Our skin is the largest organ of the human body. It is a real bummer when it becomes dry and itchy. Think about it. It is under constant assault from our environment. No wonder that it is screaming to be pampered a bit. And those who suffer with xeric skin need to give it all the attention it deserves. After all, it protects us from all kinds of pollution and germs, being our first defense against pathogens. It controls our internal temperature. It protects us with the sense of touch. In the following pages you will see what needs to be done to keep your skin performing at its optimal level.

If you have been a long time sufferer of dry skin and thought that nothing would help, try some of the suggestions within this website. Here you will find information on the causes, why children have it, why it happens so often during pregnancy and menopause, laundry detergent-home environment connection, nutritional connection, dry acne prone skin, ichthyosis, eczema, and how to help your condition, etc. My goal is to help you get the relief you need.

Don't be fooled by people telling you that they have the one answer to all your xeric skin needs. We are individuals and, therefore, everyone's skin has different needs. These needs can also vary according to age, environmental factors, and whatever is going on in your life at the moment. Our needs change even with our stress levels. I will try to guide you in the right direction so you can get relief from the symptoms of dry skin and also suggest ways that may end the dryness cycle forever.
