1.
a. moist. The most common types of skin are dry, oily, and normal. Knowing your own skin type, you can find out the bath and body lotions that will work best at moisturizing your skin.
2.
c. normal to dry. Combination skin means that you have to use a product that moisturizes your skin without being so strong that it can make your skin oily.
3.
d. tummy. According to Medline Plus, the most common areas of your body to suffer dry skin are the arms, lower legs, thighs and flanks (sides of abdomen).
4.
b. flaking. According to Medline Plus, scaling, also called flaking, is "visible peeling or flaking of outer skin layers." Some of the worst sources of scaling are psoriasis, lichen planus, and athlete's foot.
5.
d. forced-air furnaces. According to Medline Plus, dry skin is often caused by the sudden switch from cold to warm air, and in particular the warm dry air of forced-air furnaces.
6.
a. thick and greasy. According to Medline Plus, thick and greasy lotions really do the best job of holding moisture into your skin.
7.
b. pat, don't rub. You have to dry off thoroughly to prevent losing skin moisture through evaporation, but rubbing the towel against your skin will damage your epidermis.
