Atopic Skin 

Atopic Skin Care: characterized by their dryness and extreme sensitivity, atopic skin affects 1 in 3 children and 1 in 5 adults

Atopy is a genetic predisposition to develop allergies. These allergies can manifest as asthma, conjunctivitis or pollen rhinitis. At the level of the skin, one will speak of atopic dermatitis or of atopic eczema. This results in a deficit of the surface lipids, at the level of the stratum corneum, which no longer assures its role as protective barrier. The barrier function of the skin is impaired, it becomes permeable to external allergens. By penetrating the skin, allergens will boost the defense system excessively and trigger inflammation. Without proper care, the vicious circle settles: the alteration of the skin barrier aggravates the dryness and inflammation of the skin of the skin, which makes the skin itchy, you want to scratch yourself by scratching, Allergens penetrate, which amplifies inflammation and itching.

The clinical manifestations are: very dry skin , redness and itching associated with the appearance of small blisters (vesicles filled with liquid) that will burst naturally or under the effect of untimely scratching.
