Scaly skin

Recommendation

The body should only be washed with HYPOGEN CARE Shower Foam. The Shower Foam is so mild and has such a low proportion of surfactants (detergents) that it cleans as gently as possible. For hand washing, HYPOGEN CARE Washing Lotion is recommended instead of the shower foam. After washing, rinse the cleansed skin areas thoroughly.

Then apply HYPOGEN CARE LLS Care Cream to the skin. The cream should be applied after every shower or cleansing.

Basic care with Shower Foam and LLS Care Cream significantly reduces the susceptibility to eczema typical of scaly skin.

If the skin is generally very dry, HYPOGEN CARE Skin Care Oil should be massaged into the skin after using LLS Care Cream . Applying the skin care oil in this way relaxes the skin and reduces its susceptibility to tearing.

For facial care in particular, the use of HYPOGEN CARE Facial Cleanser in combination with HYPOGEN CARE Make-up Remover Oil (if required) is recommended. This replaces Shower Foam in the treatment procedure described above.

The effect is dermatologically confirmed: In general, good skin care according to this recommendation cures flaky skin in up to 99% of cases.

Features

Scaly skin is caused by the disturbance of the so-called protective layer of the skin, which is responsible for the balance between the death of old skin cells and the formation of new ones. The causes of scaly skin can be numerous. The protective layer of the skin itself consists of moisture and a lipid film.

In technical terms, scaly skin is called squama or also pityriasis capitis.
