Skin dryness results from water loss and decreased sebum secretion from the stratum corneum (horny layer). Because of the water loss, the stratum corneum loses flexibility, becomes non-resistant and, finally, breaks and peels.
Dry skin can be identified according to the following indicators:
  • loss of fullness and tension – the skin is dehydrated and wrinkled,
  • skin flaking – due to decreased sebum secretion, hydro-lipoid layer weakens, and the skin flakes intensively, especially in the T-zone
  • tight pores
  • manifestation of fine and deeper, more expressed, mimic wrinkles,
  • the skin is rough to touch, and often very irritated and red,
  • proneness to itch and eczema.
The first step in the treatment of dry skin is moisture restoring, followed by cell regeneration and providing the skin with highly valuable fats that make an integral part of Phyto cream in the form of herbal oils (oil of pot marigold, oil of St. John’s wort and carrot oil). Phyto cream has been designed to be used in the care of:
  • sensitive skin,
  • skin inclined to inflammations and allergies,
  • the manifestation of first wrinkles,
  • irritation and redness caused by overexposure to sun,
  • burns,
  • dry and broken skin,
  • skin epithelisation (recovery).
