How does skin dry?
- Stratum corneum has water content of nearly 30% and when this content comes down to less than 10% on the outermost layer of skin, the skin becomes dry, rough, and scaly.
- Water is lost through evaporation (Trans Epidermal Water Loss; TEWL) to the atmosphere under low humidity conditions and must be replenished by water from the lower layers of the skin.
- Skin becomes dry due to cleansing, ichthyosis and dermatitis.
- Inadequate sweat glands and oil glands are present with abnormal keratinization.
- Post-burn and surgical scars destroy skin appendages and thin the epidermis.
- Areas radiated with radiation therapies become dry and hence vulnerable to trauma, eczema and ulcers.

I suffer from psoriasis at an early age because of an accident,my parents went to doctors in many places with the hope of curing me of the disease. However, my conditions did not get any better despite the expense of a lot of money. They decided to have a try and took me to a Chinese hospital. The affected sites on my body had improved significantly in less than a month. After reinforcement treatment of experts, I have completely recuperated my health and I have become cheerful. I would like to share this with whoever has the same problems,you can talk to their doctors on the website of vitiligotcm.
plus, it is pure herb treatment, there is no side effect ,and there is no reoccurance. see more information about herb treatment on the website of vitiligotcm.
vitiligo is a skin disorder, which is often seen are face, neck, waist, limbs, armpit, anal area, and female genital area. Occasionally there can be hairs that turn white in the affected parts of severe cases.We employ fumigation-washing therapy, in which secret prescriptions are used to nourish the blood so that the skin flourishes. The prescription is individualized to treat both symptoms and root causes of the disease.
I am a recently licensed esthetician. A young girl was brought in by her mother, her mother advising that her daughter "had dry patches on her skin."] The young girls skin is hard to describe, but it remind me of the feel of crusty snow. The didn't really have patches, her arms face and chest all had the same condition. She did have beautiful pale skin but the feel was really bizarre. She did have some breakouts on her chin so her condition wasn't from a loss of oil. I've looked up asteatosis and alipidic symptoms but these conditions don't seem to fit the description. Any information you can provide will be helpful. Thank you, Sandra
