1 What is our skin made up of?
The skin, a covering which protects us from external harm and is the organ of the sense of touch, is made up of 3 layers: the epidermis (the outer most layer), the dermis and the hypodermis.
2 What is properly hydrated skin?
It is skin whose irrigation system brings the necessary quantity of water to all the skin layers, particularly the epidermis. In order to have beautiful skin, it needs to be hydrated from the inside by drinking a sufficient amount. The skin is the last organ to benefit from our food: water circulates in the blood up to the dermis, which has the function of a reservoir, and then it spreads from the dermis to the epidermis. Finally, is passes from the lower epidermis towards the most outer layer. The water is then retained in the epidermis by the intercellular cement, the natural factors of hydration and the hydrolipidic film. |
3 What is the difference between dehydrated skin and dry skin?
Dehydrated skin lacks water, is tight and shows fine lines. Dry skin secretes less sebum; it is coarse and can peel. Combination or oily skin also suffers from dehydration. Whatever your type of skin, the right treatment gives it the hydration required to balance it.
