I don't think most consumers really understand what dry skin is. Is your skin lacking oil, or water? Probably water!

Looking like you're a bit flaky can be
one sign of dry skin, but there's a difference between truly dry
skin, and simply dehydrated conditions. Skin types are about how much
sebum (oil) you naturally produce. Some may product a lot, some
produce hardly any; it can be uniform, or it can be patchy
(combination), it's not about how flaky or textured your skin is.
Most people have the combination type, like myself – I have TRUE
dry skin on my cheeks and a slightly oily T-Zone – however, this
says nothing more than how much oil my skin is actually producing.
