Causes of Dry Skin
Dry skin is produced by two factors. One is the damage to the skin’s defensive barrier which yields excessive water loss through the skin. The other is an important reduction in the proportion of the skin’s water-holding sugar and protein molecules, the intricate proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) molecules.
Many skin moisturizers and emollient products sold by the major skin care producers delay the healing of irritated and damaged skin and make the situation worse by impeding natural skin repair. New computer instruments have demonstrated that several popular moisturizers augment skin damage in ways comparable to skin irritants. Nor are skin barrier creams an answer, like those containing petrolatum and lanolin.
What our skin requires is to shield its surface and to heal the skin from within, by putting the skin in a situation in which normal skin repair can occur.
Most if not all the famous moisturizers and emollients currently sold by the major skin care producers contain elevated proportions of detergents and detergent-like chemicals, ignoring many years of sound evidence that such detergents degrade the skin’s innate defensive function and harm the skin. Also, several of the dyes and optical diffusers used to give the look of healthy skin are damaging to skin.
Dry Skin Treated Naturally
Lipids and fats in the skin provide the epidermal defense to transcutaneous water loss. These lipids in the upper skin area named the stratum corneum are disposed in layers named lamellae. The lower skin layers have more typical fats like triglycerides and phospholipids while the upper layers have more ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids.
Waxes and oils seal the skin’s surface and avoid exaggerated water loss. Cosmetic moisturizers loosen the skin’s defensive barrier and moisturize (wet) the skin proteins but have the long-term effect of damaging the skin.
A skin-care solution is only as good as what it contains and how those ingredients can aid your skin work better. In fact, moisturizers (or any skin-care solution claiming to have an effect on skin repair, wrinkles or sagging skin) must definitely contain an elegant mix of antioxidants, cell-communicating components, and intercellular elements as they help skin keep a normal level of hydration, build collagen and avoid cellular harm.
Not the famous dry skin creams that have been in the market since the 1920’s, when the cosmetic industry started to promote oil/water/detergent creams for moisturizing instead of the vegetable oils that had been used for hundreds of years. This was comparable to the fallacious campaigns, we may all remember, that aimed to stop women from breast feeding their babies and encouraged their replacement with artificial infant formulas sold for profit.
A new skin care product is our latest answer to erase scars and cure all kind of skin conditions. Elaborated with natural ingredients, it guarantees no allergic reactions and no adverse side effects.
