Decoding Dry Skin: Skin Barrier 101 & Biorhythms
OH HI THERE!
CONNECT {CONVERT} CLOSE
Skin is the filter through which we sift and absorb all that surrounds us. Changes in climate, pollutants, medications and other skin stressors upset its delicate composure, and can bring about unwanted changes.
Skin is permeable, and as mercurial as our moods.
Back in our previous dialogue we CONNECTED and broke through barriers that the modern woman faces in our fast paced lives and the power of deeper connections (mind + body + soul).
I also hinted to a CRITICAL MISSING PIECE when it comes to optimizing your skin health and slowing the tic-toc on PREMATURE AGING.
Now that we've connected, join a Healthy SKIN CULT as we CONVERT you to a prepared and paved terrain that leads you to your most HAPPY CELLS. (healthy glow-yo)

Today's topic:
SKIN BARRIER 101
"Ok...so these are DECENT ANSWERS, and I'll give you partial credit."
Great habits, but slightly off-target when it comes to the bottom line.
So what's the the ANSWER?
To "nurture the daylights out of your deepest dermal layers!"
------
Tell Me.
Is your product diluted with water as the first ingredient?
Invasive synthetic actives causing irritation by forcing the skin?
Molecularly too large to penetrate for true transformation?
Laying the RULES of FOUNDATION.
So here's the problem darling.
Chances are, your natural product purchases are NOT being delivered at the level where it matters for transformative collagen and elastin regeneration.
Elements need to be absorbed by the deeper layers of the skin - but this first requires transforming them into a state that your beauty biology can readily recognize.
After the age of 35, the amount and capability of skin lipids decrease significantly, which is why we are more prone to dry skin, wrinkles and sensitivity as we age.
Right Place. Right Time. Done Daily.
CONVERT
If your skin's fabric structures are plagued with ‘short term’ fillers or synthetic chemicals -- your healthy skin goals desired -- will be stunted.
Chemicals, water and synthetics makeup ingredients hove over the skin and actually pull out your skin's natural moisture barrier.
To get fit and fresh skin success, let's grab the pieces that build our skin’s dermal health for a strong cellular framework resulting in volumized and dewy skin.
YOUR SKIN’S STRUCTURE
When your structure is compromised, you experience symptoms like:
1. Loss of hydration in the deeper layers of your skin which can no longer work.
2. Your skin is damaged and dries out = spots, redness, flaking eczema and premature aging of the skin.
Setting the STAGE and revealing WHATS BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
The skin's biome and ecosystem changes through season, hormonal shifts, stress and environmental exposures.
While helpful to know your skin "type," and we help you do just that, we suffer from being able to slow down and be in-sync with our beauty biology's inner ecosystem and natural bio-rhythms.

Setting the Stage - Foundation First
Your skin’s outer layer, the stratum corneum, contains cells embedded within what is known as a lipid matrix.
Lipids are natural fats that surround skin cells to protect against water loss from the inside, and bacteria and allergens from the outside.
Dry, sensitive skin occurs when the natural moisture barrier of the stratum corneum becomes disrupted, leading to loss of moisture and penetration of irritants, causing dryness and sensitivity.
- maintains hydration, firmness, and softness
- minimizes water loss and is essential for strong, healthy, hydrated skin. performs 3 important functions
- traps water molecules and prevents the passage of water leaking out called Transepidermal Water Loss (leaky bucket)
- prevents environmental chemicals and biological irritants from entering skin
UNIFYING YOUR BIOLOGY
+
YOUR BEAUTY ECOSYSTEM.
It’s IN YOUR DNA.
The skin’s own ecosystem changes through season, hormonal shifts, stress and environmental exposures. But are they delivered and well received - at the cell level where it matters for skin health regeneration?
The Studied Science - What's your rhythm?
Chronobiology studies biological rhythms and is a law of nature that all living things live according to precise rhythms influenced by it’s ecosystem and external time factors such as the day/night cycle.
Aging & Clock Genes
For your skin, these rhythms are orchestrated by the clock genes. These give a tempo to the cell, orchestrating and effecting more than 20 percent of our gene expression.
BIORHYTHMS AND WHAT THEY MEAN FOR YOUR SKIN
A biorhythm is a 24-hour cycle or pattern that our body undergoes, shifting between day and night -- and our skin responds to these shifts. In today’s age of constant technological access, artificial lighting, and busy schedules that result in dysregulated sleep patterns, chances are, you aren’t even aware of your biorhythms, and they’re probably out of sync.
Daily stressors, the high energy visible (HEV) light emitted by our laptops and cell phones, getting less than 8 hours of sleep, and routines interrupted by travel or a chaotic schedule can all result in your biorhythms becoming “out of whack.”
When that’s the case, your body is not in its optimal state to repair itself, maintain health, and perform its natural functions that maintain a youthful appearance. Skin becomes dehydrated and wrinkles early, while you may experience skin irritation and your skin may lose its elasticity more quickly than can be attributed to aging alone.
