Dry and rough skin? Here are 3 steps to a silky smooth body!

Dry and rough body skin is a problem that affects many people, especially in the autumn and winter, but also with inadequate care or lifestyle. A feeling of tightness, roughness, flaking of the epidermis and even irritation can be symptoms of dryness, which has its origins in various internal and external factors. Proper care of the body not only maintains its healthy appearance, but also promotes regeneration and protects against excessive dryness or aging.

Why my skin is dry and rough?

The skin of the body is our natural protective barrier, which faces many challenges on a daily basis: from atmospheric factors such as wind, sun and temperature changes, to contact with clothing or chemicals in cleaning products.

  • Influence of atmospheric factors. Low humidity in winter, combined with frequent stay in heated rooms, causes the epidermis to lose moisture quickly. In summer, on the other hand, overexposure to the sun can lead to dehydration of the skin and damage to its protective layer, which promotes dryness and roughness of the skin.
  • Hot showers and baths. Although a hot shower seems ideal after a long day, too much water temperature can have a negative effect on the skin. Hot water removes natural lipids and weakens the hydrolipid barrier, which is responsible for retaining moisture in the skin. As a result, the skin becomes dry, rough and prone to irritation.
  • Use of aggressive detergents and cosmetics. Many body wash products contain strong detergents (e.g., sulfates such as SLS) that effectively remove dirt, but also weaken the skin's natural protective layer. Frequent use of such cosmetics leads to dryness and weakens the skin's ability to regenerate itself.
  • Improper diet and dehydration of the body. The skin needs adequate hydration and nutrients to function properly. A diet poor in healthy fats (such as omega-3), vitamins A, E and water can lead to excessive dryness.
  • Irregular and/or inadequate body care. The secret to silky smooth skin lies in regularity and the right choice of products with active ingredients that will restore harmony, hydration and smoothness to the skin.

Three pillars of body care

Proper body care is the basis for silky smooth skin. To achieve optimal skin condition, it is worth basing your daily ritual on three pillars: cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing using gentle but effective products.

Cleansing: thorough but gentle

Cleansing the body is a crucial first step that not only removes impurities, sweat and excess sebum, but also prepares the skin for the next steps in skin care. The skin of the body is different from that of the face - it is thicker and often less sensitive, but in some areas (such as the neckline, arms or inner thighs) it can be more prone to irritation and imperfections.
It is important that daily body washing does not disrupt the skin's natural protective barrier. Choose a wash product tailored to your skin's needs.

Moisturizing the skin is responsible for retaining water in the epidermis, rebuilding the skin's protective barrier and making the skin elastic. The skin of the body is more prone to dryness than the skin of the face, especially in autumn and winter, when we wear warm clothes more often and stay in dry areas. Moisturizing the skin is also crucial during the summer months, when the skin is particularly exposed to the sun's rays. It is important to make moisturizing part of your daily routine, especially after bathing, when the skin is slightly damp and better absorbs nutrients. Choosing the right moisturizer depends on your skin's needs. People with dry skin can reach for rich body butters containing shea butter, oils or ceramides.
