Dry skin

Dry skin, also known as the xerosis, is a result of lack of water in the top layer of skin. There are many contributing factors.  At home.  These include hard water, detergent, solvents, hot bath and shower water and paradoxically frequent bathing.  This is a result of evaporative effect drawing more water out of the skin as the shower water itself evaporates.  Skin layers stiffen and crack.  Rubbing dry with a towel and running by corrupt fabric on the skin with additional stress on the skin and cut invitation.  Irritation along with the bricks and skin and makes secondary infection more likely.

​

As with most conditions we deal with, hydration is extremely important in the prevention and treatment of skin.  It is recommended That men consume at least 3.7 liters of water daily and women consume 2.7.    This is especially important during winter when humidity is significantly lower.

​

Along with hydration, application of moisturizer twice daily helps prevent loss of moisture in the skin.  Moisturizers should include hyaluronic acid, linoleic acid and ceramides.  Avoiding sun exposure and the application of sunscreen frequently help reduce dry skin as well.
