7) Nutritional deficiency due to poor diet can contribute to developing dry skin

8) Using harsh soaps,chemicals and harsh cosmetics a lot can play with body's natural rhythm leaving it dry and dull looking

9) Swimming in chlorinated water

10) Growing old reduces the flexibility of skin leaving it look very dull and wrinkly

11)Some underlying diseases like hypothyroidism, diabetes, eczema, psoriasis or seborrhea may also lead to dry skin.

12) Regular medication intake of diuretics, antihistamines and anti spasmodic can lead to dry skin condition .
