Why skincare?
The skin has a wide range of functions, which protect the organism is the most important. Your skin forms a protective barrier that prevents bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms and substances from entering your body where they can do harm.

If your skin is very dry or damaged by a skin disease, it can destroy the skin barrier effect, and allow micro-organisms easier passage through the skin. It can either trigger or exacerbate an eczema or a skin disease.

Another function of the skin is that it ensures that holdepå the fluid, which represents around. 75 percent of your body. If Skin barrier effect will be reduced, which evaporates too much water from the skin, which såbliver dry and scaly and begynderat slot. It further reduces the skin

Skin Care!

Skin Care
Maintaining an intact, soft and smooth skin is very important for our general well-being. The skin is our “face” and reflects how to thrive, both physically and mentally.

The skin is exposed daily to many pressures, for example:

* Weather
* Cold / hot
* Sun
* Temperature and humidity in the home
* Cleaning with water and detergents
* Working loads with cold water, paper, chemicals, oil, etc.
* Personal hygiene similar

Skin outer layer called the “hudbarrieren”. It is built of horn cells bound together by the barrier fats. These fats bind cells close together as bricks in a wall. The barrier is only 1 / 100 mm thick, yet surprisingly durable, given that the daily exposed to high mechanical and chemical loads.
Barrier Fat fabrics are produced continuously.

The barrier can not withstand anything.
If the burden becomes too great, the barrier is leaking, water evaporation from the body increases and the skin dries out. Microorganisms and other harmful substances can penetrate the body.

Everyone - young and old - can experience signal from the skin in the form of slightly dry skin, for example. after the bath work, cleaning, after an ordinary day in the sun and wind, or perhaps simply as a result of a dry indoor.
Listening to the skin can not signals in time it would later develop into more skin problems for example in the form of eczema. Therefore, it is important to prevent!

Which skin care means you have to use, depends on the sum of skin exposed to pressures of what skin type (normal, sensitive or ill) and you have the time of year.

Why should it care skin?
Dry skin is a warning sign! Dry skin is a sign of a damaged hudbarriere! Avoid drying out! Barrier damage should be repaired as soon as possible with a barrier cream repaired. A defective hudbarriere increases the risk of developing eczema.

Improvement of barrier function
As a barrier injury means increased water evaporation, we must speak, “stifle” the skin to reduce evaporation after the damage until the skin returns to normal.
It does so by applying a cream that protects the barrier and which can serve as an “artificial” closure on the skin.

Barrier repair will be promoted among other things by applying a cream with hudfysiologiske barrier fats, ie. give the skin the fat back as it has lost. This will reduce water loss from the skin without affecting the skin’s own production of fats, which are an important part of the repair process. This will restore skin moisture balance and hudbarrierens protective effect.

Fat or water?
The cream should be applied, depends partly on skin type, barrier-scale of the damage and the season. The water content is increased most by reducing evaporation by using a relatively bold cream. What are the cream contains fats are also important because hudfysiologiske fats in the right quantity and balance have an active impact on the repair of hudbarrieren. The hudfysiologiske barrier fats are bl. a. ceramide, cholesterol and free fatty acids

New research has shown that there are skin-care products, which both have a neutral, negative or positive effect on the barrier recovery. In other words it is important to choose a skin care agent, which has no negative impact on the restoration of hudbarrieren. Some skin-care products can even affect the skin’s own fat production to be delayed.

Important!
Avoid as far as possible, creams, which blocks the signals that causes the skin to produce extra barrier fats. Ask for evidence of the efficacy of skin water evaporation throughout the repair process.

What harm hudbarrieren?
Acute barrier damage
Water, detergents and solvents
Organic solvents and cleaning agents
Physical wear
Acute solforbrænding
Osmotic leaching of water (offsetting the concentration / salt balance) as at sea
Chemical peeling of the skin

Chronic barrier damage
1st Chronic physiological stress, as work-related
2nd Structural changes, as hereditary skin disease
3rd Inflammatory (skin diseases with inflammation, as eczema).

Preventive skin care
