The surface of healthy skin contains between 15 to 30 percent of water. If the skin components responsible for retaining this water are damaged, your skin rapidly becomes dehydrated.
When this process happens, any kind of skin can become dry. Skin components like lipids and proteins form a special “brick & mortar” structure to retain water. That’s why a balanced diet and caring for our skin in a healthy way is basic to prevent these changes from happening.
Skincare products rich in emollient substances diminish your skin’s water loss, and help keep it supple and hydrated.
