During cold seasons, dry skin is normal but many people suffer from the problem as a result of many reasons. These reasons can be hereditary, air conditioning, bathing with hot water, atopic dermatitis, and thyroid disorders among others.  The symptoms of dry skin are flaky skin, itching, red patches and rough skin.
