Dry Skin
Dry skin has an inability to retain adequate moisture in its cells. It is usually characterized by:
- A feeling of tightness or tautness, especially after bathing or swimming;
- Skin appears dull, dehydrated and lacks plumpness;
- Skin feels rough and may itch;
- Flaking or scaling may be present;
- Skin tends to wrinkle easily and fine lines are prevalent;
Dry skin is a result of disruption to the skin's intercellular lipid structure - a group of vital substances that bond skin cells together to form a protective barrier, preserve skin's moisture content and ultimately give skin it's smooth, soft texture. Dry skin's lack of barrier strength can be supported and strengthened by the use of gentle skin care products that are rich in emollients, vitamins and water-binding agents such as glycerin or honey.
