Face Cream for Dry Skin
There are numerous sebaceous glands present in the skin, which produce fatty acids (or oil). The layer of these fatty acids keeps the moisture intact in the skin. This makes the skin soft and smooth to touch. It is the number of these sebaceous glands that determines if the skin is oily, normal or dry. In case of normal skin, the number of sebaceous gland is optimum. For oily skin, it is higher and while for dry skin, it is lower than the optimal limit.
