title: [Quality of life, emollients and hydrating agents].
abstract: So-called dry skin is a quite common and annoying condition. This skin may affect individuals that are otherwise healthy. It may be particularly severe and unpleasant in cases of ichthyosis, atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. The inductive effects of the environment must not be ignored. Emollients and hydrating agents for the stratum corneum can help relieve the clinical manifestations.
