Dryness and roughness of the skin is a condition that can cause discomfort, flaking, and itching. It is a gradual process that can occur both on the skin on the body and on the face.
The main features of dry skin
Dry skin is characterized by a lack of lipids in the skin, which as a consequence weakens the skin’s hydrolipidic barrier. As a result, the skin is weakened against external aggressors.
The causes of dry skin are manifold. From lack of skin care to environmental factors and skin conditions such as Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis, dry skin can be potentiated. However, when not counteracted, dryness penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, causing roughness.
Symptoms of dryness and roughness
– Tightness;
– Burning;
– Fissures and
– Intense itching.
How to treat dryness and roughness
You need a skincare routine that does not deteriorate the skin barrier. Therefore prefer nourishing and moisturizing skin care products, such as Urea and Ceramides, that can help restore the moisture balance as well as regulate the water flow in the deeper layers of the skin. If you have a specific skin condition, you should choose skin care products that are specifically developed for it.
In addition, you should:
– Prefer gentle cleansing products;
– Avoid dry air as well as prolonged exposure to hot water;
– Drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day;
– Use a laundry detergent with mild formulas.
