Rough skin on the face and body [why roughness appears and what to do about it]

Rough skin is a consequence of a lack of moisture in the epidermis. The skin becomes dry and rough, peeling appears. Any part of the skin can be rough: roughness appears both on the face (cheeks, nose, chin, forehead) and on the body (back, neck, shoulders). Therapeutic and cosmetic products will help moisturize and soften the skin, relieving this problem.

Rough skin symptoms

Dry, dehydrated, rough skin is easy to identify visually and by touch. This skin type has a rough, granular texture. Moreover, rough areas of the skin can peel off.

Dryness and roughness can appear all over the body, especially on the legs. White scales cover large areas of the skin. A similar condition can be observed in young children, and in adolescents, and adults.

Causes of roughness on the skin

So why can skin be rough? The epidermis becomes rough due to changes in the hydrolipidic film on the surface of the skin. Moisture evaporates very quickly, and its deficiency leads to severe flaking of the skin. The cells gather in clusters and stay on the surface of the skin instead of being expelled from it. The scales are striking, and the skin in places becomes rough to the touch. The condition of very dry skin with small scales is called xerosis.

Dryness and roughness of the skin can be caused by external factors: red and rough skin on the face, back and shoulders may appear as a result of frequent and prolonged exposure to sunlight, and rough skin on the cheeks and hands as a result of exposure to cold air and wind.

Rough and rough skin on the face and body can also be the result of skin diseases – psoriasis, allergic dermatitis and ichthyosis. Even roughness on the skin can be caused by a genetic predisposition.
