They say with the arrival of a brand-new year we shall embrace new habits, but not us skin-health-aware people, not us. We take care of our skins all year round, but sometimes, we even let it slide a little bit. And though it is all right to lose yourself once in a while on certain occasions, it is important to force you back on track, so you never lose the road.
We all love a good seasonal skincare adjective, right? In the summer, people mention your tanned skin after you’ve worked at it for hours and hours on the beach. Every season has its adjectives, and surely, we can agree that “glowing” is the most suitable one for Christmas time.
Autumn has arrived along with damaging changes brought about by the weather. Camouflaged in autumn tones of red and ochre, the landscape is so beautiful to see, yet the weather that creates it is so harmful to our skins.
As the trees go bare, a new season is born and just as we change our wardrobes for thicker Pret-a-Porter pieces, we must upgrade our skincare routines.
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.
