Dry skin is very common. Dry skin can occur at any age and due to various factors. Keratosis pilaris, which is chicken seed skin, is a hereditary skin condition that can occur in 40% of the human population. Everyone may experience dry skin during their lifetime, but this phenomenon increases with age, so that about 75% of those who are over 64 years old have this problem. Some people also inherit this trait from their parents.
Over time, the production of essential fatty substances in the skin also decreases. In this regard, the outer layer of the skin has been compared to a brick wall, where the skin cells are connected by a cement of keratin and natural fats, and by this means the softness and flexibility of the skin is maintained. The reduction of these fats causes dryness and loosening of this wall.
Dry skin also occurs in some diseases such as atopic dermatitis, hypothyroidism, diabetes, and kidney diseases. This skin problem is aggravated in dry weather and winter.
When choosing moisturizers, you should pay attention to the fact that, like any other health and cosmetic product, moisturizers for oily and dry skin are different from each other. Some believe that oily skin does not need a moisturizer, but in any case, moisturizers are produced and available in the market for this group of skins.
Regular use of body lotion is one of the most simple ways to maintain body moisture and prevent your skin from drying out. People who work in cold and dry weather, or their skin is dry due to wind, cold, or heat, or people with sensitive skin, should make the use of lotion a part of their life. Using lotions immediately after bathing (when the skin is wet) causes it to penetrate deep into the skin and by protecting it from moisture, it gives you a sense of vitality, freshness and youth. Other benefits of using lotion include protecting the skin against burning, itching and inflammation caused by dryness, reducing the aging process and wrinkles, and making the skin shiny. Lotions also contain water in their composition and can be used at any time to moisturize the skin. also
