General health and wellbeing are usually measured in terms of regular exercise and the importance of a balanced diet. While both of these things hold great importance, the significance of the products that we use on the outer layer of our body is as worthwhile as a discussion on nutrition. Our skin, being the largest organ of our body, absorbs almost everything that is applied to it so it is important to consider how we feed and nurture our skin on a daily basis.
The average individual sprays and lathers approximately ten different skincare products every single day onto their skin. Unintentionally and perhaps unknowingly, these individuals may expose themselves to numerous harmful chemicals in the process, which may impact how the body processes those chemicals and eventually, those chemicals make their way into their body through your bloodstream.
While these skincare products that are chemical-based may come with a few particular benefits, their side effects may easily trump their advantages. Using chemical skincare regularly could expose your skin to toxic elements unnecessarily. These products can cause harmful skin side effects over time, leading to severe potential skin allergies, intolerances and allergic reactions.
How Ingredients from Skincare Products Penetrate Into Your Skin Cells
Different layers of the skin
Your skin is made of 3 layers, the hypodermis, dermis and epidermis. The epidermis is the top layer that is made of connective tissue and fat. This layer comprises of dead skin cells known as corneocytes. These cells are arranged in the form of bricks and connected through desmosome.
Fatty acids known as lipids float between these cells like mortar. The acid mantle lies on top of the dead skin cells, which prevents your skin from microbes. When your skin is healthy, that barrier locks in moisture by completely blocking out invading elements.
How rapidly your skin absorbs substances depends on the thickness of your skin’s outer layer and the ability of that element to get past the barrier. Naturally organic skincare products allow beneficial nutrients to penetrate through your skin cell structure as they possess a smaller molecular structure so are easily absorbed into the skin. This may help improve your skin’s vitality by stimulating the skin’s ability to boost collagen and regenerate skin cell growth.
Consider a move towards natural and organic skincare routine. Going naturally organic isn’t only beneficial for your skin but is also better for the environment!
