Deep Hydrating Treatment for Dry Skins

For centuries ancient cultures used oils to improve their skin. But the cosmetic industry started to spread the concept that this was a bad idea since 1920, and began encouraging the use of oil in water mixed with detergent as moisturizing creams.

Cosmetic moisturizers are often made of low cost oils and water -soluble chemicals. They debilitate the outer layer of defensive proteins of the skin. At the same time, these creams moisturize the skin for a short period of time but affect the skin’s natural ability to defend itself against bacteria and viruses. Another mistake is the addition of fatty elements already existing in the skin.

Because of the chemicals components, most of these products retard the healing of irritated skin. They actually make the situation worse by inhibiting healthy skin repair, elevating skin inflammation and thus damaging skin.

Why does dry skin develop?

1. Damage to the skin’s protective barrier that causes excessive water loss through the skin.

2. A decline of the amounts of the dermal water holding sugars and proteins; the proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans

Proteoglycans (PGs) are proteins connected to glucose chains called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). These GAGs are essential elements of connective tissues. They control the structure and moderate the skin’s functions.

When the proteoglycans (PGs) are renewed the production and differentiation of cells are influenced. Wound healing also depends on the level of PGs. If the level isn’t adequate this leads to abnormal scars, and thus the PGs play a crucial role in preventing keloids and hypertrophic scars.

When there is a diminution of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the skin, face and body become flaccid. GAGs hold water and make up most of the intercellular space between collagen & elastin proteins.

The optimum treatment is that one that takes care of skin’s surface and heals skin from inside. Doing so, the skin is given the necessary elements and environment in which natural skin regeneration can happen.
