Dry Skin · 건성 피부
Also called: xerosis · lipid-deficient · 건성 · 지질 부족
What it is
Dry skin produces insufficient skin lipids — distinct from "dehydrated skin," which lacks water. It appears flaky, sometimes itchy, and is more prone to fine lines and barrier disruption, especially in cold or dry climates.
한국어 설명
건성 피부는 피부 지질 생산이 부족한 상태로, 수분 부족인 속건성과 구분된다. 각질이 일어나고 가려움이 동반될 수 있으며, 추운·건조한 기후에서 잔주름과 장벽 손상에 더 취약하다.
Common triggers
- genetic baseline
- cold / dry climate
- hot showers
- harsh cleansers
- aging-related lipid loss
- heated indoor air
K-beauty approach
K-beauty for dry skin: cream or balm cleansers, layered humectants (HA, glycerin, snail mucin), and a ceramide- or squalane-led occlusive on top. Sleeping masks are a category staple in winter and dry seasons.
