Rough skin may result from frequent outdoor activities, exposure to wind and sunlight, dehydration, skin aging, and epidermal atrophy. As one ages, cutaneous blood circulation slows down, making the skin especially prone to roughness. In daily life, maintaining proper personal hygiene and cleansing, minimizing late-night activity, and avoiding spicy or irritating foods can effectively improve skin roughness.
