SKIN CARE SKIN BARRIER BOOSTING BOOT CAMP

WHETHER YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT SKINCARE IN A PREVENTATIVE WAY OR LOOKING TO TARGET SPECIFIC CONCERNS LIKE FINE LINES AND WRINKLES, HEALTHY SKIN IS ALL ABOUT A HEALTHY SKIN BARRIER. THIS OUTERMOST LAYER OF SKIN, OR STRATUM CORNEUM, IS THE MOST VITAL LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST DAMAGING STRESSORS AND DEHYDRATION. IT’S MADE UP OF CELLS AND LIPIDS (AKA THE BRICKS AND MORTAR OF YOUR SKIN) THAT WORK LIKE AN ARMY TO PROTECT YOU FROM BATTLE (AKA BIOLOGICAL AGING AND ENVIRONMENTAL AGGRESSORS).

AS WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT AGING MORE POSITIVELY, THINK OF TAKING CARE OF YOUR BARRIER AS NOT JUST A WAY TO PROTECT AGAINST “MATURING”, BUT TO ALSO BUILD STRONG SKIN. THINK ABOUT HOW YOU’VE CREATED BOUNDARIES IN LIFE TO CREATE MORE HARMONY AND HEALTH IN YOUR CAREER AND RELATIONSHIPS. THIS IS THE SAME INTENTION YOU SHOULD BE CARRYING INTO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE. FORTUNATELY, BARRIER BOOSTING HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER. YOU CAN TARGET EVERY AREA OF YOUR FACE TO MAXIMIZE YOUR DEFENSE WITH OUR SMART, TARGETED SOLUTIONS ALL POWERED BY NIA-114™. THIS PATENTED BLEND OF NIACIN & VITAMIN B3 IS BACKED BY 30 YEARS OF SCIENCE AND IS CLINICALLY PROVEN TO STRENGTHEN THE SKIN BARRIER FOR VISIBLY TRANSFORMED, MORE YOUTHFUL SKIN.

SKIN CARE WHAT IS THE SKIN BARRIER AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT? ARE YOU DOING ALL YOU CAN FOR THE FOUNDATION OF HEALTHYLOOKING SKIN?

HEALTHY-LOOKING SKIN BEGINS AND ENDS WITH A HEALTHY SKIN BARRIER. AS SKIN’S NUMBER ONE LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST DAMAGING STRESSORS AND DEHYDRATION, IT NEEDS REGULAR CARE AND MAINTENANCE. BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS THE SKIN BARRIER? MOST SIMPLY, IT’S THE OUTERMOST LAYER OF SKIN AND THE PART YOU CAN SEE. IT ACTS LIKE A SHIELD, KEEPING THE BAD STUFF FROM ENTERING AND THE GOOD STUFF FROM LEAVING THE SKIN. IT’S MADE UP OF CELLS AND LIPIDS THAT WORK TOGETHER TO PROTECT SKIN. IT’S RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THAT WATER AND ELECTROLYTES DO NOT EVAPORATE FROM SKIN.

WHAT DO DARK SPOTS LOOK LIKE? DARK SPOTS COMMONLY VARY IN SIZE – FROM SIMPLE SUN SPOTS TO LARGE PATCHES OF DISCOLORATION – AND COLOR – RANGING IN SHADES OF LIGHT BROWN TO BLACK. WHILE THEY USUALLY APPEAR IN SUN-EXPOSED AREAS LIKE THE FACE, NECK, BACKS OF THE HANDS, AND FOREARMS, DARK SPOTS CAN ACTUALLY DEVELOP ON ANY PART OF THE SKIN.

WHAT CAUSES DARK SPOTS ON SKIN? WHEN THE PIGMENT-PRODUCING SKIN CELLS, MELANOCYTES, START TO OVERPRODUCE MELANIN, THIS CAN LEAD TO THE FORMATION OF UNEVEN PIGMENTATION OR HYPERPIGMENTED AREAS IN THE SKIN. BUT WHAT TRIGGERS THIS PROCESS? WHEN YOU SPEND TIME IN THE SUN UNPROTECTED, YOUR SKIN PRODUCES MORE MELANIN TO TRY TO PROTECT ITSELF FROM THE DAMAGING RAYS – RESULTING IN A TOASTY TAN OR SENSITIVE SUNBURN. SO, IT MAKES SENSE THAT YOU MIGHT NOTICE MORE DARK SPOTS DURING SUMMER OR EARLY FALL IF YOU’VE BEEN SOAKING UP THE RAYS AT THE BEACH OR RELAXING

BY THE POOL. WHILE TYPICALLY HARMLESS, THEY AREN’T ALWAYS WELCOME AESTHETICALLY. AND OF COURSE, MAKE SURE TO REGULARLY VISIT YOUR DERMATOLOGIST AND INFORM THEM OF ANY CHANGES IN YOUR SKIN, INCLUDING SIZE, COLOR, OR QUANTITY OF DARK SPOTS. BUT IS THE SUN THE ONLY CAUSE? SPOILER: THERE’S MORE TO IT THAN THAT. AGE, GENETICS, HORMONES (SUCH AS IN PREGNANCY), FREE RADICAL DAMAGE FROM POLLUTION OR TOBACCO, OR DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEDICATION CAN ALSO CAUSE UNEVEN PIGMENTATION.

OUR BODY IS BASICALLY A MACHINE AND THUS IT REQUIRES SOME OILING AND SPA IS NOTHING BUT OILING THIS MACHINE.
