Dry skin

Dry skin is characterized by decreased secretion of sebaceous and sweat glands. For that reason, there is a very scarce hydrolipid layer on the surface of the skin, which also reduces the barrier function of the skin. Dry skin is taut, thin and transparent, prone to peeling, redness and early wrinkles. It is very sensitive to temperature changes, sun and wind. People with dry skin often struggle with eczema. These unpleasant signs of dryness can be soothed with proper skin care – intensive humectants that deeply hydrate the skin, nourishing emollients and occlusive agents that prevent moisture loss.
