PAMPERING AND HYDRATED SKIN

Healthy skin turnover rate ranges from 28 to 40 days, but not when it’s confronted with a disrupted barrier. It's common for the cell turnover rate to slow during the winter. The slower rate means there is an accumulation of corneocytes or dead skin cells sitting on the surface of the skin. This can cause atypical sensitivity and prevent optimal product penetration, rendering skin care less effective.

Restoring balance is at the root of the solution to help clients revitalize and restore the skin’s barrier function and resilience. It requires a delicate dance between exfoliating the skin to boost cell turnover and clear out accumulated dead skin cells while working to protect, revitalize, and renew.

Staying hydrated from the inside is essential; drink water with minerals ( add lemon, salt).  Foods high in healthy fatty acids support restoring the skin’s barrier lipids, while foods high in omega-3, like chia seeds, flaxseed, walnuts, and salmon, have anti-inflammatory benefits.

Be careful not to over-exfoliate or further alkalinize the skin because this will cause further irritation and delay skin recovery. Hydrate, moisturize, and protect the skin with emollients and hydrating ingredients (hyaluronic acids, glycerine).
