Condition Overview
Dry skin can feel tight, look dull and flake or crack, and it makes fine lines more visible. It happens when the skin's barrier loses the lipids and moisture that keep it supple, whether from genetics, age, weather, harsh products or underlying conditions.
At Reston Aesthetics we restore hydration from the surface down: HydraFacial™ and custom facials rebuild moisture, dermaplaning removes the dull layer that blocks absorption, and a simple medical‑grade routine keeps the barrier strong between visits.
Understanding Dry Skin
The skin barrier locks moisture in and irritants out. When it is compromised, water escapes and the skin becomes rough and reactive. Common causes include:
- Ageing, which reduces natural oil production
- Cold weather, low humidity and indoor heating
- Over‑cleansing and harsh exfoliants
- Skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis
- Dehydration and certain medications
