BIO SKIN CARE

What is the difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin? For ordinary mortals, is the same. However, it is not. All skin types can be dried at one time or another, the result of a lack of water. In general, there is a problem Benin, while for dry skin, the causes are deeper and requirements higher.

Dry skin: a deficiency in fat
Dry skin requires more attention effect. It feels tight, becomes rough, loses its luster and often presents dander (dead skin cells on the surface). She blushed for nothing and wrinkles more easily. His condition is that it not lack of water, but fat. When we speak of essential lipids to balance and health of the skin, it’s not just fatty elements. Skin needs of ceramides, cholesterol, free fatty acids and cholesterol esters. These are the four major components of intercellular lipids, that is to say the “glue” that holds together cells comprising the superficial layer of the skin. When these fat components are not present in optimal proportions, the intercellular cement is not doing its job. The skin becomes fragile, the skin barrier function is impaired. The skin loses its ability to protect and conserve the water it needs to stay hydrated and show a smooth and balanced.

The researchers were able to demonstrate that dry skin is unable to ensure adequate production of lipids. What causes the problem? In addition to aging hormone linked to menopause, overexposure to sunlight, sudden temperature changes, especially in winter, as well as taking certain medications can be the source of a problem of dry skin.
