the first step towards healthy functioning skin!

• The skin barrier system (stratum corneum) is the
  outta
• most layer of the skin, it is made up of
  corneocytes, lipid
• bilayers and the acid mantle.
• Think of a brick wall (stratum corneum),
  corneocytes
• (bricks) the mortar between the bricks (lipid
  bilayers).

• This is our first line of defense against
  pathogens and
• external environmental influences such as UV
  free
• radicals caused by pollution and prevents them
  from
• entering the body through the skin.

• When the skin barrier is impaired it can bring on
  
• heighten water loss (dehydration), acne, rosacea,
  atopic
• dermatitis other various inflammatory
  conditions,
• chronic dry skin and even increase risk of skin
  cancer.

• cholesterol, ceremides long chain fatty acids
  these
• make up the lipid bilayers (remember the mortar
• between the bricks).

• Products need to contain ALL 3 lipids to get
  results.

7

• We also need to restore the acid mantle to an
  acidic Ph
• by avoiding products that contain mineral oils,
• emulsifiers, petroleum based products,
  preservatives,
• fragrances amines. This will turn off
  inflammatory
• response, allow the permeability to start
  rebuilding and
• improve the antimicrobial defenses, decreasing
  the
• penetration of allergens pathogens.

  incorrect
