A solution for Dry, Cracked skin or heels..
There are many possible causes of dry foot skin: frequent showering and washing, swimming, cold weather, dry heating air, aged skin or skin disorders such as neurodermatitis and psoriasis. If the dry skin persists, it can lead to further skin problems. These include primarily callus, cracks or sensitive skin.
Dry skin tenses unpleasantly. It begins to flake. The skin lacks balancing fats and intensive moisture. This afflicts the natural protective shield of the skin, the skin barrier. It consists of dead skin cells (corneocytes) which are compacted by skin fats (lipids) into a compact, overlapping cell compound.
If lipids are missing, the barrier loosens and the skin becomes permeable. The moisture stored between the horn cells escapes. The skin dehydrates and loses its elasticity and resilience.
But there’s more. When stressed, callus production increases to relieve pressure. If the skin dehydrates further and the pressure persists, the now barely elastic callus may finally tear. If the skin barrier is cracked, bacteria, allergens and fungi can spread through these cracks (fissures) into deeper skin layers. The immune system is activated, and inflammation develops, accompanied by the symptoms of sensitive skin: redness, itching and burning skin. The GEHWOL med care concept covers the various stages of problem skin with products that are also suitable for diabetics and provides the skin with moisture and lipids as needed.
