Dry skin - what is it and why do you get it?

Let’s start by looking at a bit of science. Your skin is an organ - in fact it’s the largest organ in your body. So it needs some protection. The epidermis, that’s the outer layers of the your skin, is protected by a barrier on top. This is often called the lipid barrier. It’s a bit like a brick wall - with loose skin cells (that are effectively dead already) as the bricks, held together by lipids (oil) that act as cement. Lipids are naturally found in the sebum (oil) that your sebaceous glands in your follicles produces.

The lipid barrier is there:

- to keep the good stuff - like natural oils and water - in, and

- to keep the bad stuff - like irritants, pollutants, dirt and bacteria - out.

When you don’t have enough lipids, either because your sebaceous glands don’t produce enough oil or because you are using products that strip oils, your lipid barrier starts to break down. This also means that the barrier is weakened or damaged, allowing access to irritants and pollutants and also allowing water to leave the skin.

This is what causes dry skin - a weak or damaged lipid barrier. Dry, flaky patches are those loose cells without lipids to hold them together and irritation, sensitivity and redness come from those irritants and bacteria getting into the deeper layers.

Apply twice daily, morning and evening for soothing skin results. Cleanse thoroughly with your prescribed Guinot cleanser and toning fluid and then dispense a small amount into clean hands. Apply to the throat and face, using circular upwards motion ensuring the whole of the area is covered. Wait a few minutes for the product to be fully absorbed.
