Addressing extremely dry skin: CeraVe’s innovative solution
Advertorial
Factors that play a role in exacerbating very dry skin include:
Ageing: The skin’s natural moisture barrier weakens with age. Decreased oil production, coupled with thinning skin and reduced cell turnover, contributes to dryness.
Environmental factors: Air conditioning, central heating and hot showers can worsen dry skin.
Medical: Certain medications and medical conditions such as diabetes can be contributing factors to dry skin.
Consequences of untreated dry skin
Dry skin that hasn’t been effectively addressed has consequences that go beyond just discomfort:
Itching – can disrupt sleep, increase anxiety and lead to discomfort.
Effectively addressing symptoms, restoring skin barrier and preventing the progression of very dry skin are important factors to consider when managing dry skin.
Very dry skin often requires a more intensive approach that goes beyond a regular moisturiser.
