Scaly Skin: Causes and Easy Solutions to Try Today!

Unlock The Secret To Smoother Skin!

 

Many skin conditions may flare up or worsen in winter and early spring, but one that just doesn’t get talked about enough is scaly skin. Well, the truth is that scaly skin is a problem that can have debilitating psychological and physical consequences, and one that can have you covering up and suffering skin damage that can last well into summer.

Scaly skin is a serious symptom of dry skin that can worsen in the dry, cold months. And though it can often be simply thrown in with the likes of cracked, rough, and itchy skin, scaly skin is a problem all on its own that should never be overlooked. (1)

Well, we here at Garner's Garden are here to tell you that if you’re suffering from scaly skin, you don’t have to feel self-conscious anymore, as new research and SOOTHING ALL-NATURAL PRODUCTS with ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS can help make your skin SMOOTHER and MORE RADIANT than ever!

In this blog we talk about scaly skin, what causes it, and how to achieve your BEST SKIN HEALTH EVER all year long!

 

SCALY SKIN

 

The first thing to know about scaly skin is that it doesn’t have just one cause. In fact, scaly skin can affect much of your entire body, including your scalp, and can target you in ways you don’t expect it to. It can even simply cause little areas of patchiness that may seem harmless, but can actually be precursors to something worse.

Also related is the fact that your body is a flaking machine. Believe it or not, your body gets rid of about 30,000-40,000 cells of skin every single day, making way for new cells that are more radiant and glowing. Though this sounds like a necessary but potentially painful process, it’s actually something you should see and feel no ill effects of. (2)

 

However, every now and then, your skin can become scaly – also known as desquamation. The process of scaly skin seems to occur when your outermost layer of skin – your epidermis – flakes, and can be caused by other medical conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis. (3)

 

QUICK TIP: Many times scaly skin is actually a symptom of psoriasis, which affects over three percent of people, even if they don’t know it! Protect your skin from the debilitating symptoms of psoriasis with an all-natural skincare routine each day. (4)

 

Age is a potential catalyst of problem skin, which can actually hinder your body’s ability to maintain the level of moisture you need. Sometimes efficient use of your oil glands can counter these harsh effects, but many places on your body – most notably your extremities – don’t have the power to fight this problem away.

The maturity of your skin cells also plays a part in scaly skin. This is because the rate of changing your old cells doesn’t change much in normal day-to-day life, but conditions like psoriasis can actually speed up the rate by which new skin cells appear. What results is overlapping skin and skin that can be thick and scaly. (5)

Scaly skin can really appear anywhere, but the most common places are also those places where you’re most likely to feel dry, like your face, elbows, legs, feet, and hands. It can also be caused by the environment, or simply a slow-down of the rate at which you produce new skin cells – also known as cellular turnover. (6)

THE THREE I’S

 

Another link to scaly skin is what can be considered the three I’s – itchiness, inflammation, and irritation. These three situations can lead to a greater rate at which your skin cells turn, and can end up leading to the formation of scales and other skin problems you don’t want.

The cold and dry air can also lead to scaly skin, as well as lesser-known skin conditions like lichen planus and actinic keratosis. Many of the skin-related causes of scaly skin also simply don’t have a cure, which is why it’s so important you take the NECESSARY STEPS to REMEDYING symptoms and RELIEVING as many of the causes of your scaly skin as you can. (7)

 

Your scaly skin may also make you want to scrub the scales off, but before you start scraping off your first layer of skin, know this: trying to force off scales and scaly skin can actually damage your skin more, and can lead to an infection, and/or the worsening of your scaly skin. (8)

 

QUICK TIP: Scaly skin can also look like what’s considered fish scales, which requires regular moisturizing. Prevent the unwanted scaling of your skin today with chemical-free products you can easily add to your daily skin care routine. (9)

 

It’s also important to distinguish why you may have the kind of scaly skin you have. Some of these causes can be nutrition-based or even allergy-based, and some can be genetic or chronic. These causes can affect your skin, and some of these causes – such as in the case of eczema – can affect children.

What’s worse is that problems related to eczema and the consequences it causes can affect people their entire lives, which is why it’s good to have an ALL-NATURAL SKINCARE ROUTINE that can REMEDY your skin and better PREPARE it for seasonal changes and the weakening of it. (10)

And for all you dog lovers out there, it’s also worth mentioning that scaly skin can affect your pride and joy. Though scaliness is most common in the old or young, environmental causes can leave your dog with dandruff or scaly skin that can be super uncomfortable for your pup. (11)
