The problem ? Hyperkeratosis. On these areas, particularly subject to friction, the epidermis tends to thicken to form a "cushion" of protection. Result:the skin becomes rough to the touch.
The outcome:we opt for ultra-emollient creams. Rich in lipids, they nourish in depth which reduces the phenomenon of desquamation. Complete Repair 5% Urea from Eucerin, Xerodiane Body Emollient from Noreva and Exomega D.E.F.I Emollient Cream from A-Derma.
The problem ? Keratosis pilaris. Linked to very dry skin, it gives a "sandpaper" effect (yum), even small red pimples, located on the back of the arms, the top of the thighs and on that pretty behind.
The outcome:we do not erase, otherwise the skin will be irritated. If necessary, wash with a soap-free salicylic bar and, above all, use an emollient cream with AHAs daily. Ikeriane by Ducray, Akérat 10 Body Cream by Avène and Intense Repair Body Balm by Neutrogena.
The problem ? Acne. Well, no, the naughty is not reserved for teenagers. The skin of the back (like that of the face) is rich in sebaceous glands. Stuck under clothing, it does not breathe, which promotes the development of bacteria.
The way out? Are we walking with our backs to the air? Nooo! On a daily basis, we use a gentle cleansing product that contains sebum-regulating active ingredients. And we favor clothes made of natural textiles that allow the skin to breathe. If the problem persists, we go to the dermatologist. Sebactiv Purifying Foaming Gel, Rogé Cavaillès; Keracnyl Foaming Gel, Ducray.
