Dry air is one of the most common environmental factors that stress the skin—especially during the heating season or in air-conditioned rooms. It is one of the most common causes of dry skin, tightness, and microbial imbalances in the skin. If not addressed early on, dry air can permanently weaken the skin barrier and contribute to skin problems.

Common symptoms of dry air and an imbalance in the skin's natural balance include:

• Tightness in the skin
• Dry, flaky patches of skin
• Itching and burning
• Redness and irritation
• Increased sensitivity to personal care products
• Worsening of existing skin conditions (e.g., atopic dermatitis)

Dry air doesn't just affect the skin's surface; it directly impacts the skin microbiome. Prevention is therefore crucial for avoiding inflammation, damage to the skin barrier, and related problems early on.

Microbiome-friendly tips for dealing with dry air – Causes of dry skin

The skin is a complex ecosystem composed of skin cells, lipids, moisture, and a diverse skin microbiome. Dry air continuously draws moisture from the skin, compromising its natural protective function. This disrupts the balance of the skin microbiome, making the skin more prone to irritation and inflammation.

Common causes of dry skin due to dry air include:

• Low humidity: Heating and air conditioning systems reduce humidity and accelerate transepidermal water loss
• Impaired skin barrier: Lipid loss weakens the skin's protective layer
• Microbiome imbalance: Beneficial skin bacteria lose their optimal habitat
• Frequent washing: Water and harsh cleaning products exacerbate dryness
• Individual skin sensitivity: People with sensitive skin or atopic dermatitis are particularly prone to reactions
• Environmental stressors: Fine particulate matter, temperature fluctuations, and UV radiation exacerbate the effects of dry air
