Skin Health Matters- Functions & Complexity
Let’s conclude this important series and review the remaining lifesaving functions of this truly miraculous organ called the skin.
Sensational Sensations: The skin is richly and extensively innervated. Your skin is the most sensitive organ of your body and even minor irritation can cause much discomfort and loss of quality of life. Pain, touch (including vibration and pressure), temperature change, warmth, irritating chemicals, are all actively felt by the skin. This function helps in a myriad of ways by primarily warning us of potential external harmful stimuli and making us aware of our external environment, elevating the human life experience and keeping us safe. Without these sensational sensations, we would not be able to live a sensorially enriched life.
Facial Illuminate Serum was meticulously engineered for sensitive facial skin so that your barrier can remain hydrated, healthy, plump and radiant as ideal molecular weights of Hyaluronic acid and stabilized Vitamin C along with evidence backed botanicals sink deep to calm sensitivity and heal the barrier whilst offering exceptional radiance.
Role in Nutrition: The skin plays an active role in the manufacturing of Vitamin D upon exposure to therapeutic doses of sunlight. But it’s best to get your vitamin D levels checked once every year and supplement levels of this important bio-active vitamin orally at a dose of 1000 mcg daily taken sublingually if needed.
Sociosexual Communication and Individuality: Our fingerprints make us unique. Our apperance, the way we look, smell and feel, adds individuality to our persona. Every culture from thousands of years has used the skin to enhance esthetic appearance, create tribal or racial distinctiveness, by using various techniques like cosmetics, piercing, tattooing, and other novel skin decorating techniques.
Psychological Aspect: This aspect of skin is often forgotten by skin health professionals, skin care givers and the public. Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, natural and enviro-aging are just a few of the skin problems that cause great stress, anxiety, and depression, not to mention reduced quality of social life. This has been proven by numerous clinical studies that highlight the psycho-social impact that skin issues have on the general well-being of the global population.
Beauty DNA: We are coded to appreciate beauty and looking good makes one feel good. Your skin is the most visible and most exposed part of your body, so why must you not care for it? We developed DNA Biofix using advanced phyto-propelled technology so that the signs of solar and environmental damage such as fine lines, dryness, patchy and uneven skin tones, enlarged pores and sagging skin can be tackled without using stronger or possibly irritating ingredients like retinol. DNA Biofix is a breakthrough in cosmetic engineering as it contains an optimal percentage of plant derived growth factors that exhibit retinol-like actions. This unique ability of our proprietary formulation will help you attain softer more sculpted facial contours and a luminous even-toned complexion without having to resort to more skin-disrupting ingredients. Our clinically effective formulation can also be used in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures should you so desire.
The skin-mind axis is something we will discuss in our next monthly article, so stay tuned.
There is nothing more important than your health, and yes, skin-health matters when you examine overall health with a holistic lens.
