How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Dry Skin?
Mainstream medicine's approach to dry skin is a thicker cream.
Winter? Aquaphor. Legs like paper? "Aging." Crack and bleed? Steroid for the patches, then the same lotion. Thyroid, fatty-acid status, and the barrier's actual ingredients do not make the note.

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Dry Skin?
Commonly missed root causes of dry skin include missing skin structure, thyroid pace, indoor heat, and too little essential fat.
Skin that will not hold water is missing structure, not willpower. Ceramides, sebum, thyroid pace, indoor heat, and a diet with almost no essential fat all show up as "buy a better moisturizer." Lotion sits on top. It does not rebuild the mortar between cells.
The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. Why can't your skin hold water?
