What causes rough skin?
Rough skin can have many different causes:
- Heat, wind and weather are among the external influences that can cause rough and dry skin.
- In summer, UV rays strain the skin, in winter it is the constant temperature changes between indoors and outdoors as well as the dry air from heating.
- Showering or bathing too often with water that is too hot dries out the skin, as do extreme weather conditions.
In addition to external influences, there are also internal factors that cause flaky skin. Genetic predisposition is also one of the possible causes of dry skin.
With age, the skin also loses moisture due, among other things, to reduced collagen production. Collagen is able to bind moisture. At the same time, the skin produces less sebum. Due to the lack of sebum, moisture retention in the uppermost layer of the skin becomes increasingly difficult. This can result in dryness, roughness, and cracking.
What should I look out for if I have rough skin?
If you know where your rough skin comes from, there are a few things you can do to prevent it.
- Make sure you wear appropriate clothing in both summer and winter to protect you from extreme temperatures!
- You can also moisturize your skin from within by always drinking enough.
- Avoid using water that is too hot when bathing or showering.
- Moisturize regularly. You can especially pamper your rough skin after bathing or showering. Don't dry it completely and then apply a nourishing moisturizer. This way, it can be absorbed better and provide your skin with moisture and nutrients.
How do you properly care for rough skin?
The right skin care routine with the right cleansing and care products is especially important for dry and rough skin.
Cleansing and peeling
A gentle, non-drying cleanser is the first step. It should be tailored to your skin type and moisturize your skin during this step.
A gentle exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells. It also gently stimulates the skin and promotes a fresh complexion. A gentle enzyme peel is best for dry and rough skin.
For perfect skin cleansing, even for sensitive skin, SKINUANCE® offers the ENZYME CLEANSER & PEELING . It's a gentle cleansing lotion and gentle peeling in one product. Your skin is effectively freed of dirt, sebum, and dead skin cells, allowing it to breathe deeply.
Sun protection
UV radiation can further dry out your skin. The right UV protection helps prevent moisture loss . For dry and rough skin, sun protection is essential in both summer and winter.
To help your skin retain its wonderful glow even after the summer sun, you'll find FLEXIBLE SUN DEFENSE 50+ in the SKINUANCE® shop as a super anti-aging UV protection. This sunscreen is suitable for all skin types and not only effectively protects the skin from UV rays. The nourishing and soothing ingredients provide lasting moisture to the skin, helping it calm down and look well-groomed after sun exposure.
Care for rough skin
A moisturizing serum saturates the skin and provides it with the necessary nutrients. For very dry skin, you can apply high-quality oils instead of or in addition to the serum. They provide additional nourishment and replenish the skin's lipids, preventing moisture loss.
