Dry skin on the body

Dry skin on the body (also called xerosis or xeroderma) occurs when the skin loses too much moisture and natural oils, weakening the skin barrier. It is a very common condition – especially during the winter months or in people with sensitive or older skin.

OIL - nourishing and protective facial oil

A nourishing oil with wild blueberries and kukui nut oil OIL is a very nourishing oil that feels 'dry' as it is quickly absorbed into the skin and is therefore non-greasy. Several of the added oils have a small molecular size, so they can easily penetrate the skin layers. In this way, the oil not only lies on the surface of the skin, but is absorbed faster and better. OIL contains, among other things, oils from argan and sea buckthorn, both of which are full of vitamins and antioxidants. Argan oil retains moisture and is therefore moisturizing in the outermost layers of the skin and also contains vitamins B and E, which are five times more powerful than in other oils. Sea buckthorn oil contains vitamins A, B, C and E and is a powerful antioxidant. A berry from the Nordic sea buckthorn plant contains as much vitamin C as a whole orange. Sea buckthorn is also rich in omega 3 and is good at retaining moisture. The kukui nut contains vitamins A and E, is moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, strengthens connective tissue and has a preventive effect on wrinkles. The wild blueberries from Norway are a powerful antioxidant, which also strengthens the elasticity and collagen level in the skin. Store dry and cool. 50 ml.

Characteristics of dry skin on the body

The skin often feels tight, especially after bathing.
The surface can be rough and matte.
Dry areas may shed fine, white scales.
Typically seen on the legs, arms and back.
Dry skin often itches – and scratching can worsen the condition and lead to sores.
With prolonged dryness or after contact with heat, soap or clothing, you may experience redness and irritation.
In severe cases, the skin may crack, especially on the heels, hands, and elbows.

Causes of dry skin on the body

Cold weather and low humidity (winter skin).
Frequent hot baths and soap products, which remove the skin's natural oil layer.
Sebum production decreases with age.
Skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis or ichthyosis.
Genetics, dehydration, medication or poor diet.

Skin care for dry skin on the body

Use a mild body soap without synthetic perfume, but preferably with oils and moisturizing ingredients.
Use a good, thick moisturizer or oil right after the bath, when the skin is still slightly damp. This will help the product absorb better.
Avoid long, hot baths – use lukewarm water.
Scrub max. once a week, but it should be gentle. A dry towel also exfoliates a little, as well as a soft dry brush before the bath.
Moisturize your skin every day.
