Skinspiration... Corneotherapy & Your Skin's Barrier

Your skin's barrier is your 'roof', it's your defence and the way YOU look after it will determine the appearance of your skin. 

What does your barrier look like? 

This is an amazing image that shows a microscopical look at the outer, barrier layer of a perfectly compacting skin.

The skin cells are overlapping each other and locking together to create a healthy, closed skin ‘roof’?

To achieve a healthy, perfect skin it is essential that your skin surface is tightly interlocked, creating a closed ‘roof’ effect.  By having a closed ‘roof’ you ensure that bacteria, environmental stress, pollution and foreign matter is unable to enter into the skin’s layers and reck havoc. Whilst natural moisture found in the skin is unable to evaporate, providing hydration and a plumped skin.

Our lifestyles and many products we apply to our skin actually work against the process of creating a healthy ‘roof’. We are often unaware of issues with our ‘roof’ until the damage is done and you are suffering symptoms of a compromised skin barrier.  Signs of damage from a ‘open leaky roof’ include; redness, dryness, flakiness, flushing, uneven texture, hot skin, inflamed skin, sore skin, shiny skin, irritation, the list goes on…

Creating a healthy, closed ‘roof’ is what I and your skincare, dermaviduals, are doing for you. We specialise and work on the principal of Corneotherapy. 

Corneotherapy is a specific skin treatment methodology that has proven that to achieve a healthy and optimal functioning skin, the skin must be treated as a whole including and specifically the top, outer layer of the skin.

By including and keeping the skin intact as a whole at all times you are; supporting the skins natural barrier protection function,  maintaining skin homeostasis, preventing or reducing structural inflammation, providing essential nutrients to the sublayer of the skin and creating ideal cellular compacting which in turn creates a closed ‘roof’ on your skin surface.

Is your ‘roof’ open or closed?
Did you know that something as simple as the cleanser you choose could be disrupting your skin barrier, creating an open leaky ‘roof’, allowing good things to escape and bad things to enter.
If you want to do one thing for serious skin health we can help to ensure that your 'roof' is closed and your skin is healthy, plumped and protected.
