Dry, dehydrated skin

70% of your skin is water. This is about 20% of all the water in your body.

Water is distributed unevenly in different cell layers of the skin:

• 60~70% in the dermis,
• 20~30% in the epidermis,
• 10~20% in the horny layer.

Usually, water is diffused regularly and continually through the dermis to the surface of the skin, moistening the different layers of the skin. When it reaches the horny layer, the water evaporates. However, lipids (fats) on the surface form a hydrolipidic film with the water and regulate evaporation.

• Sensitive / Intolerant skin
