What is Dry Skin?
The medical term for dry skin is xerosis cutis.
'Dry skin' is skin that is lacking water, humectants and fats.
Humectants absorb and hold water, while fats coat the skin and seal in moisture.
When there is not enough water, humectants or fats, skin barrier disruption can occur, further worsening symptoms of dry skin.
Dry skin appears dry, rough, and may scale and flake.
Dry skin may also show premature signs of aging, like fine lines, surface wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
Anyone can develop dry skin.
