What does "soft skin" actually mean – and why does it feel so good?

Soft, smooth skin is often associated with freshness and radiance – it conveys a pleasant feeling about the body and increases personal well-being .

Our skin has a natural protective film – also known as the hydrolipid film or acid mantle . This slightly acidic pH value, between 4.5 and 5.75, helps to keep the skin supple and protect it from external influences . When this natural protection is balanced, the skin feels smooth, relaxed, and comfortable.

Why does skin sometimes become dry and rough?

Dry or rough skin can have many causes – from external factors to everyday habits .

Some possible triggers are:

• Cold weather, dry air from heating systems or strong sunlight
  
  
• Smoking, alcohol or insufficient fluid intake in everyday life
  
  
• Predisposition – some skin types naturally produce less sebum.
  
  
• Skin diseases such as eczema or psoriasis, which disrupt the protective function
  
  
• Changes with age – over the years, the skin loses elasticity and firmness.
  

With a suitable skincare routine and a Cream for dry skin can positively influence the feel of the skin.
