Who is she ?
The skin has 3 main layers: the epidermis, the dermis and the hypodermis.
The hypodermis controls body temperature, is made of connective tissue that attaches the dermis to your muscles and bones, and stores fat.
The function of the dermis is to produce oil that keeps your skin soft and smooth.
The epidermis creates a triple barrier: waterproof, against the Sun and immunological.
The skin barrier designates 2 parts: the outer layer of the epidermis, called the stratum corneum or stratum corneum, as well as the hydrolipidic film which covers it.
What is it for ?
The skin barrier helps protect your skin against damage and keeps it hydrated, preventing your skin from drying out. When the hydrolipidic film is altered due to a lack of water or lipids, for example, the skin no longer performs its physical barrier function. This is how it becomes more permeable to allergens.
How to take care of it ?
Through a balanced diet and moderate exposure to the Sun.
By giving your skin time to cleanse, soothe, hydrate and protect it.
By avoiding/proscribing irritating or allergenic ingredients such as alcohol, soap, perfume, endocrine disruptors, etc.
By lightening your routine, to minimize the number of active ingredients in contact with your skin, which could create “cocktail effects”.
