Skin barrier, step number 2 – Doktorka Sandra

Skin barrier, step number 2

These days we are being overwhelmed by large quantity of cosmetical products with its purpose to rejuvenate our skin. They are working on outer layer of your body which is called skin barrier.

Every skin has its own story. Our skin goes through various stages in different times of our lives depending on our age, surrounding, environment, hormonal changes and genetical predispositions. Sometimes it is important to hydrate, sometimes nourish and sometimes it is important to exfoliate.

Oily base, called vehiculum, can be beneficial and even therapeutic. But only if it is chosen right for the skin type… It can be either hydrophilic or lipophilic, based on if it contains more water or oil.

The right oily base can be recognized by easy applying and optimal absorbing of product into the skin. It also hydrates, reoils but does not clog pores. This is how I created my creams inspired by traditional dermatological recipes. These recipes were originally made in pharmacy, but nowadays, due to higher production products are made in laboratories following strict rules same as the rules that are followed when medicine is made.

I get asked a lot about what is the second step when the barrier is regenerated and fixed. What decorative cosmetics should be used afterwards? My recommendation are in the gallery, made by @avene_czsk @pierre.fabre.group
