BENEFITS
| • |
High-level
hydration helps protect dry skin from environmental
assaults. |
| • |
Contains
Intercellular Lipids (ILs) and Natural Moisturising
Factors (NMFs), the skin’s own moisturising systems. |
NEED
TO KNOW
| • |
Dry
skin is caused by a depletion of ILs and NMFs in the
epidermis. Moisture+ works by helping replenish these
cellular components, fortifying the skin’s protective
barrier. |
| • |
Dry
skin is almost always sensitive skin. This is because
the ILs and NMFs protect the skin from irritants.
When the skin is deficient in these components,
environmental irritants can more readily penetrate
the epidermis and create sensitivity. |
PRODUCT
USAGE
| • |
Moisture+
may be applied liberally at any time of day. |
| • |
A
second layer of Moisture+ can be applied
around the eye area to reduce dryness
and sensitivity. |
STUDIES
AND FURTHER READING
Intercellular Lipids
According to research, topical physiological lipids such as
ceramides and cholesterol can restore biochemical balance in
barrier-impaired skin. Nonphysiological lipids such as lanolin
assist with barrier function without long-term correction.1
Antioxidants
In vivo studies show topical anti-oxidants afford considerable
protection against UVA-induced damage. Studies also show
reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) with topical
antioxidant use.2
