Year-round care of atopic and very dry skin
Seasons of the year are characterized by a repeated, regular change of the weather. Air humidity and temperature are one of the basic factors that change during the year. Change of the weather is perceived individually by each person. The development of dry skin depends on the action of extrinsic and intrinsic factors. When the integrity of the skin surface is impaired or the skin is not sufficiently hydrated, its barrier function is limited. The skin becomes dehydrated and rough, losing its glossy appearance.
