Dry, belong to everyone
Dry skin is a simpler way to talk about a lack of lipids on the skin. And more specifically, to a lack of ceramides (family of lipids) on the outer layer of the epidermis.
Metabolized in the epidermis, ceramides associate with other lipids to allow better epidermal cohesion; they also facilitate the production by the skin of some of his own skin lipids. When they fail, the lipid barrier of the skin no longer plays its protective role, it is not waterproof, and we lose water. Dry skin is more sensitive to external influences and easily irritated. This problem can affect almost everyone, at any age, to varying degrees.
Dry skin: causes and symptoms
Winter is often a cause of dry skin. All body parts are made or what strain the lips, face, hands, exposed to weather and heating the rest of the body assaulted by friction from clothing. Other factors (abuse of hot baths, soap, excessive exposure to sun or wind) promote dry skin. Furthermore, in winter the microcirculation is less good *. All these factors adversely affect the natural protective layer of the skin, composed of fatty substances (sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands) and water (produced by sweat glands).
The role of creams and lotions is precisely recreate this protective barrier, in addition to rehydrate the skin. Proper hydration every day helps limit water loss, strengthen cell cohesion of the skin and soothe when necessary.
As for symptoms, they can be summarized in five points:
A skin sensation that feels tight, especially after showering, bathing or swimming session because dry skin loses its elasticity.
A skin rougher than silky.
Itching and redness sometimes.
Desquamation.
Fine cracks.
