I ave been doing ketosis for approx 4 weeks. I am getting very dry eyes and also itchy skin. Anybody else getting this? Is this due to lack of some mineral - magnesium, sodium, potassium, etc?

    I would say drink more water? I have this same issue but mine is because winter is harsh on your skin. I use a humidifier inside and lotion.

    Thanks - as usual - the simple answer. Will try boosting my water.

    I second the drink more water. If my water is lower, i get dry skin and eyes. Altho to completely honest, I have Sjögren’s Syndrome so my eyes and mouth are dry a lot.

    But ive found lots of water helps, if my skin is dry then fish oil and vitamin E oil help quite a bit along with a good lotion.
