What is Flaky Skin?
Flaky skin is a condition that occurs when extreme dryness results in the shedding of the topmost layers, causing an outbreak of flakes on most parts of the body. When the body’s natural oily layer on the skin dries out, the skin is unable to produce enough oil and moisture for the body to replenish the amount being lost. For the most part, the skin is able to replace that which is lost, but sometimes the body’s efforts are not enough and the skin needs more protection.
