The Winter Skin Restoration
What is your skin’s barrier?
It is the body’s first defense against harmful toxins that can penetrate your skin. The skin barrier is also known as the Acid Mantle (the pH balance). When the skin’s barrier is compromised, these are the symptoms you will notice:
Skin has no bounce
Skin is not elastic
Wrinkles
Discoloration
Thinning of the skin
A powdery finish that indicates water loss
Visible infections from germs and viruses
So how can you avoid damaging your skin barrier?
Avoid cleansers with harmful fillers
Stop using soap
Stop using harsh exfoliants and ingredients
Stop using tanning beds
Reduce the amount of sugar intake
Avoid chemical peels
Have you heard that Oil is bad for your skin and that you should always try to remove it or scrub it away? I am guessing your answer is yes. But science says NO!
What should you do to help your skin’s barrier from becoming inflamed? The skin has the ability to repair itself quickly but it requires help from the most beneficial moisture and oil combination. If the skin does not receive the 911 help from the correct daily care, your skin goes into overdrive. Without the balance of oil and moisture, your skin will show the appearance of premature aging skin.

If your skin has sensitive characteristics, use Chamomile Night Creme with Desensitizing Serum.
