A deficiency of vitamins and minerals (such as iron), diabetes and hypothyroidism can also cause dry skin. Other chronic skin conditions like psoriasis can also contribute to dehydrating the skin.

Aging skin: With age, the skin loses its elasticity, it becomes thick, dry and scaly, and the appearance of cracks on the skin of the feet may have a stronger impact as you age.
