If our skin stays dry for a long time, what negative effects can happen?

The skin will send signals that trigger the production of a substance called Interleukin-1.

This substance will induce the restoration of the skin barrier (the skin’s protective shield) and increase the production of EGF to stimulate the synthesis of new skin cells, helping to prevent water from evaporating.

But if this process happens too much, the newly formed skin cells still cannot function fully, causing the skin to thicken. In the long term, certain skin diseases may occur. Oh… the skin will get thicker?

In addition to the beneficial effect of stimulating our skin to repair itself, this Interleukin also causes inflammation, which, if left unchecked, can lead to certain inflammatory skin diseases.

And this inflammatory substance may induce the release of the allergy mediator histamine, making us feel itchy; and when we scratch, it may further increase the risk of infection.

In summary, it can range from dry, thick, rough, itchy skin to infection and skin diseases!!!

So how do we take care of our skin to prevent dryness? Please stay tuned for the next episode.
