Summary

Dry skin is a physiological condition and is characterized in contrast to greasy skin by roughness, desquamation and lack of brightness of the skin surface. Subjectively, feelings of tension, burning and itching can occur. The skin reacts more intensive on external and physical noxae. Dry skin is caused by a lack of moisture. This is most common during the winter months, when heating systems dry the air. Bathing with hot water, spending extended periods of time in the hot sun, and the skin's natural aging process also remove moisture and oils from the skin. It is diagnosed through clinical observation. People suffering from dry skin often desire to improve this condition for optical cosmetic reasons and due to the occasional feeling of tension. The aim of this investigation is to observe the improvement (or not) of dry itchy skin by a lotion containing a cooling compound
