If the skin of the hands will heal itself in just 72 hours, why do you need cosmetics?

Summer is the time when the skin of the hands is especially stressed. Working in the country, in the garden or with houseplants, frequent walks, weathering — all this often causes peeling or itching of the skin. And, it happens that small wounds, cuts, abrasions.

It seems that the skin of the hands is quickly restored and all these are just temporary defects that will quickly disappear. But in fact, this is not so: with constant injury, pathological changes are triggered in the skin: pigmentation, non-healing scars appear, the overall skin tone decreases and its wrinkling increases.

You can use a moisturizer, and if the skin is not very dry, then you can just wait — after all, everything will heal by itself in a couple of days!

But it is not so!

If the damaged skin of the hands is not touched, then yes, it will heal itself, in about 72 hours. But in this case, there is a high risk of pathological changes in the skin: spots, sores, moles, scars.

If a person uses products that create a film that does not let air through (inexpensive mass-market creams), he aggravates this situation.

Means that have in their composition components such as petroleum jelly create a protective layer around the skin that allows air to pass through and does not interfere with gas exchange. In this case, the skin will heal itself, under the “protection” of this layer, without aggravating the situation. But vaseline will not help the skin in any way, and there is still a risk of pathological changes — if such microtraumas are frequent.

But there is another option — funds, which include physiological lipids. These are low molecular weight oils that sink into the skin and start regeneration processes there. They create a protective barrier, accelerate skin regeneration, normalize water, lipid, fat balance — we practically exclude pathology, accelerate healing processes and improve skin properties.

It is these physiological lipids that we use in the cosmetics of our brand!

And now attention! Difference:

If the “self” process takes 72 hours of continuous itching, and systematic banal weathering or dehydration leads to epidermal hyperplasia, which suggests that cytokines produced by the skin when the stratum corneum is damaged can initiate pathological processes.

An impermeable film that does not allow water to evaporate (cheap creams), blocks the response of epidermal cells to damage and guarantees structural damage to the skin.

Means with a breathable film have a barrier effect, give the skin time to recover, reducing the risk of pathologies.

Physiological lipids completely take over the functions of the barrier medium, actively participate in tissue regeneration, almost completely excluding the processes of structural disorders.

This is what you feel as the “nourishment” of the skin. It becomes soft and velvety to the touch, elastic and even. This is exactly what a biologically competently restored balance within the epidermis is.
