How to prevent dry skin, with dead sea products

Dry skin or xerosis, is a common phenomenon as we age. The stratum corneum is affected, causing rough and scaly skin, tingling, discomfort or a feeling of stretched skin. Dry, dull skin can be caused by genetics, disease, lifestyle, or environmental conditions. Under optimal condition, skin is kept moist by the glandular secretion of sebum and other natural moisture factors (NMFs) which create a barrier called a hydrolipid system. This barrier has two functions:
·          Prevents harmful materials from entering the body via the skin.
·          Helps prevent transepidermal water loss, and thus maintains moisture in skin.
