Glossary Skin Roughness

uneven surface texture of skin, often feeling coarse or bumpy

Skin roughness, also known as rough skin or textured skin, refers to the uneven surface texture of the skin, which can feel coarse or bumpy to the touch. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including dryness, dead skin cell buildup, environmental damage, or underlying skin conditions such as eczema or keratosis pilaris. Proper hydration, exfoliation, and the use of moisturizers can help improve skin smoothness.
