explore these factors in detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Weather:<\/strong> Seasonal changes like colder weather in winter can lead to dry skin.

Difficult weather conditions take away the skin&#8217;s natural moisture and cause dryness around the eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Age:<\/strong> One&#8217;s skin starts to lose moisture and elasticity as age increases. This can make the skin and area around the eyes more sensitive to dryness and wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skincare habits:<\/strong> Harmful skincare habits can damage delicate skin and cause dryness. The habits include using harsh skincare products, excessive rubbing, or scrubbing the eye area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Medical Conditions:<\/strong> Skin conditions like Eczema, Psoriasis, Dermatitis, and more can cause dry patches around the eyes.
