The Affects Of Dry Skin
- By: Ted Brumby

The lack of proper moisture levels in your skin disturbs your skin's desquamation processes. Desquamation is the natural elimination of cells from your stratum corneum - essentially, it is the sloughing off of the dead, top-most layer of skin. When the desquamation process doesn't function properly, dead skin cells collect on your skin and become visible as dry skin flakes.



The dry skin cells accumulating on the surface feel rough and inflexible. They can catch on clothing or other fabric and lead to dry skin itch. With continued dryness, this inflexibility and tightness can lead to physical cracking of your skin which is not only painful, but further exposes skin to drying elements.



As dryness drives deeper into the stratum corneum, physiological functions of skin (such as the natural growth and maturation of healthy corneocytes) become impaired. These underdeveloped, immature corneocytes reach the surface in a weakened state, further reducing skin's ability to withstand dryness and naturally recover from environmental assault.



Lower skin resistance & quality

Affects of dry skin can be seen when there is a breakdown of proper skin mechanisms: without moisture, skin cells become stiff and inflexible, setting the stage for your skin to become cracked and damaged. A loss of barrier lipids further increases exposure of cells to the environment, leading to further water loss and increased skin dryness. Because skin is becoming more vulnerable, its ability to withstand environmental dryness becomes more impaired.



Environmental moisture loss (dry air, soap, washing)

Your dry skin may be an inherited condition that you live with daily. However, the environment in which you live also impacts the degree of water loss in your skin. The environment is constantly pulling moisture away from your skin surface, and if the air is particularly dry, more moisture gets pulled from your skin.



Everyday activities such as soap and washing further affect your skin's ability to hold onto moisture as well. The water you use to cleanse yourself washes away your skin's NMF, while soap removes lipids from your skin. This combination of activities degrades your skin's barrier and allows even more moisture to escape.

The lack of proper moisture levels in your skin disturbs your skin's desquamation processes.

The affects of dry skin can be extremely irritating, to help prevent it use some skin care products, it is also recommended that you consult a medical professional.
