The skin, the body's outermost organ, serves as a defense against a variety of external aggressors, such as bacterial diseases. However, some people have dry skin conditions, which can disrupt the skin's normal defenses. You know Moms, having dry skin can really make you more susceptible to bacterial illnesses. Find out why by reading the following explanation!

The skin barrier is a barrier that protects healthy skin. This barrier, which is made of fat and water, works to keep the skin's natural moisture level stable and keeps microorganisms at bay. This barrier, however, can be harmed or disrupted in dry skin. Lack of moisture caused by poor water retention in dry skin causes chapped or cracked skin. On the skin's surface, this causes minute fissures that allow germs to enter and spread infection.

In order to preserve the integrity and health of the skin, dry skin frequently lacks the natural moisture. The skin becomes drier, stiffer, and more brittle, making it more fragile. Low quantities of natural oil are also common in dry skin, which should aid in preventing bacterial invasion. Lack of moisture makes the skin less able to defend itself, which raises the risk of bacterial infections.

Moms need to be cautious when using soap or other cleaning agents that might further dry up the skin, in addition to using a moisturizer that is appropriate for your child's dry skin on a daily basis to retain the skin's natural moisture.
