The very first being the climate, very dry and cold climate use of very harsh and cold water, frequently taking bath with harsh soaps, vigorously running your skin you try to dry and if you gave diabetes, thyroid or if you have some drugs like statins, when these cardiac people are given statins, it indirectly reduces the lipid content of your skin also and it becomes more dry, various hereditary conditions like ichthyosis or atopic dermatitis can also make your skin go very dry.
