The Skin Barrier is found in the Stratum Corneum of our skin. The Stratum Corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis and consists of flattened corneocytes, surrounded by multilamellar lipid membranes which are composed of cholesterol, free fatty acids, and ceramides. The skin barrier can be visualised as corneocytes representing the “bricks of a wall”, and the rich lipid matrix the “mortar”.
Summer holidays are over, and excess sun radiation, salt water, chlorine, air conditioners… can all lead to dull, splotchy, and discoloured skin. To protect itself from the elements, the skin responds by increasing the surface layer of dead skin cells. The result is rough, flaky, dry and stressed skin that lacks radiance. In addition, excessive sun exposure causes an increase of freckles, sunspots, and blemishes.
Human skin is the largest organ of the body and is an effective physical barrier keeping it from environmental conditions. This barrier function of the skin is based on the stratum corneum, located in the uppermost skin.
Summer is a time for beach days, barbecues, pool parties, and seaside vacations. Longer hours of daylight and hot, dry, or humid weather can affect our skin. Don’t forget to adjust and rebuild your skin-care routine! It is time to make a few changes to your regimen so you can have your best skin this summer.
Although we are in the middle of summer, it is never too late to get the body we want. Cellulite and stretch marks are two very common skin conditions that affect 85 to 90% of post-adolescent women and are two of the most annoying afflictions on any woman’s list.
Last month we reviewed the most popular active ingredients that should never be mixed, and today it is time to talk about those that are beneficial for our skin.
After being bombarded daily with new cosmetic ingredients that we need to integrate into our skincare routine, we end up buying and trying them out. But let’s be honest, many times we buy products without knowing exactly what effects they will have on our skin. Or, even more important, how to incorporate them correctly into our routine so as not to have a negative effect.
The covid-19 pandemic has shaken the world since its outbreak in 2020. All sectors have been affected by this historic event and the beauty industry has not been left out. Among other difficulties, many of the congresses and fairs that were previously organized around the world had to be suspended.
In today's digital age, we are constantly surrounded by screens emitting blue light—from smartphones and computers to tablets and TVs. While these devices have become indispensable in our daily lives, the blue light they emit may be posing an unseen threat to our skin health.
The Christmas holidays have passed and, to a greater or lesser extent due to the already known Coronavirus, we have all given our best to celebrate. This has resulted in endless food, drink, events, and get-togethers. In short, an explosive cocktail for our body and, above all, for our skin.
