What defines dry skin?<\/b><\/em><\/h2>\n

Scientifically speaking, dry skin (xerosis) occurs when the skin lacks sufficient moisture and lipids to maintain a healthy barrier function. This results in a rough, flaky texture, a tight feeling, and sometimes even irritation or redness. Unlike dehydrated skin, which lacks water, dry skin is characterized by an insufficient production of natural oils, making it prone to sensitivity and premature aging.<\/span><\/p>\n
