Dry and Rough Body Skin
Practical, evidence-aware guidance for dry, rough-feeling body skin. Understand cosmetic moisturising, ingredient identity and comfortable daily habits without mistaking an ingredient claim for a medical treatment.
Start with your skin concern
Dryness may feel tight, flaky or rough. Friction, frequent washing and seasonal changes can all affect the skin's feel. Use moisturisers for cosmetic comfort; pain, cracking, bleeding or persistent inflammation deserves professional assessment.
