Dry skin is quite common, it is characterized by a change in the skin barrier, as well as an excessive loss of water and a deficit of lipids in the dermis and epidermis. It is manifested by the appearance of uncomfortable sensations: tightness, "tingling" and sometimes itching, lack of elasticity and a rough texture to the touch. In addition, depending on the area of the body, the skin may become thicker, rougher, less luminous, and occasionally flaky.
After summer - and longer exposures to the sun - staying indoors with air conditioning and the arrival of cold weather can intensify these symptoms.
How can we take care of dry skin and minimize the associated discomfort?
By reinforcing the protective action of the hydrolipidic film (the "shield" on the surface of the skin, made up of water and sebum), suitable and regularly used cosmetic products can soothe dry skin.
As a specialist in skin health and beauty, BIODERMA does not stop innovating, proposing dermatological solutions formulated according to the principle of ecobiology. The goal: to respect the skin's ecosystem and interact with its natural mechanisms for immediate comfort and long-lasting balance.
In the Atoderm range we find hygiene and daily care products, specially formulated for the dry and sensitive skin of the whole family. All the essential products for smooth and comfortable skin!
Sometimes delicate and reactive, dry skin needs the utmost care – which starts with good hygiene habits. A mild cleansing base, formulated without soap and enriched with emollient agents, should be used to cleanse the skin without damaging it:
Atoderm Shower Oilis indicated for the daily hygiene of the whole family (from birth, except premature babies), providing immediate comfort and 24 hours of hydration.
More than a simple hygiene care, it is a nourishing and anti-arritition care: its formula enriched with glycerin and niacinamide helps to hydrate the skin and strengthen its barrier function, while the plant biolipids nourish, protect and reduce skin irritations.
With the massage on moistened skin, its oil texture transforms into a light foam, with a delicate fragrance, providing a pleasant sensory experience.
The skin is soft, soothed and comfortable, from the moment you shower.
It is also recommended to implement additional gestures: for example, spend less time in the bath, use lukewarm water (avoid baths with water that is too hot) and dry gently instead of rubbing the skin with the towel.
After hygiene, a moisturizing and nourishing care should be applied to soothe feelings of discomfort and protect the skin from external aggressions. Ideally, a formula that provides immediate comfort and long-lasting soothing:
For greater effectiveness and pleasure in the care of dry skin, BIODERMA has reinvented one of its bestsellers of more than 10 years: Atoderm Creme Ultra, the daily care for dry and sensitive skin for the whole family - ultra effective, ultra nourishing and ultra pleasant!
The new formula enriched with omegas 3, 6 and 9 deeply nourishes the skin, while the patented Skin Protect Complex stimulates the skin's own production of elements that are essential for maintaining its hydration - including hyaluronic acid - thus reactivating the skin's natural hydration process. It also contains niacinamide, which contributes to the strengthening of the skin barrier in a lasting way.
With a formulation that respects and protects the skin's ecosystem, Atoderm Creme Ultra is very well tolerated and assimilated, even by the most sensitive skin.
The skin is immediately more hydrated, smooth and comfortable, and more resilient day after day.
Its fluid texture with a silky finish, easy to spread and quickly absorbed, adds a sensory dimension to the daily routine and allows you to wear immediately after application. For greater sensoriality, try warming the product in your hands before applying it to the skin.
