Xerosis

Xerosis, a severe skin dryness, is characterised by rough skin that feels tight and may sometimes peel. It results from a lack of lipids and water in the stratum corneum, impairing the skin barrier. The responsible factors are numerous: ageing, cold and dry climate, overly hot baths, use of harsh cleansers, or certain dermatological conditions such as eczema. The use of moisturising and lipid-replenishing care helps to reduce the discomfort associated with xerosis.
