Secondary dry skin: building care strategies
Expert advice
In the cold season, the skin is expected not only by weather conditions and low temperatures, but also by a whole range of negative factors that damage the stratum corneum. The work of convectors and the increased dryness of the air in rooms and cars are forcing dermatocosmetologists to more often diagnose: secondary dry skin. For lovers of outdoor activities in ski resorts, let's add the influence of UV.
Feeling of tightness, roughness, uneven skin thickening, increasing sensitivity and itching, local erythema and peeling – this is a familiar list of symptoms of dry skin in winter. A common mistake is to leave in the cold season the care that satisfied the summer. Since the skin is more demanding in winter, clients often turn to a dermatologist-cosmetologist to diagnose the condition of the skin and select care.
