The importance of proper moisture balance in the skin

On a physical level, the skin is our largest organ and acts as the first line of defense against external factors such as germs, pollution and harmful UV rays. A good moisture balance or good hydration of the skin is essential for healthy skin because it protects the skin from drying out and keeps the barrier function intact.

Hydration also helps maintain skin elasticity and helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

By providing our body with sufficient water and nutrients, we give our body the strength and energy it needs to support us in our daily lives. Read more in the blog about the importance of good hydration and what really helps against further skin aging and pigment spots.

1. High Molecular Hyaluronic Acid has a strong moisturizing effect and can carry up to 1000 times its own weight in water. The high molecular hyaluronic acid contains larger molecules, which makes it stay more on the surface . It forms a layer over your skin, which quickly attracts moisture.

2. Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid consists of smaller molecules, which allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin and stay there longer. This gives your skin long-lasting hydration.
3. Niacinamide , which is vitamin B3, stimulates the production of Ceramides : these are fatty acids that are naturally present in your skin. Your epidermis consists of more than 50% Ceramides. These fatty acids keep the skin cells together so that your skin barrier remains intact and healthy.

In addition, vitamin E ensures that your skin burns less quickly in the sun. Vitamin E also limits the damage that UV radiation can cause to your skin. Protects healthy skin cells.
5. Panthenol is a vitamin B precursor (provitamin B5) and is mainly involved in regenerative metabolic processes of the skin. Panthenol is often found in care products for babies because the skin tolerates it well. It has a wound healing effect and stabilizes the skin barrier . Fibroblasts are important cells in the skin that are partly responsible for the formation of elastic fibers but also of collagen. A soft skin and better skin elasticity is the result of very regular or consistent use of Panthenol.
6. Centella Asiatica is an extraordinary plant and has many beneficial effects on the skin. It is healing, restorative and highly moisturizing. It relieves minor inflammations and has a positive effect on the microcirculation in the (head) skin.
7. Calendula Officinalis Extract , the marigold, is converted by the sun's rays into numerous active ingredients including carotenoids, flavonoids and essential oils. These stimulate the production of new tissue . That is why Calendula is especially known for its restorative, protective and long-lasting moisturizing effects on the skin.

How do you apply SERUM 01?

When a serum is applied to damp skin, it can better absorb into the skin. Damp skin makes the skin softer and more open , allowing the serum to penetrate deeper into the skin . It can also help to hydrate the skin better because the skin is already damp and the serum can help to retain moisture.

It is best to apply the serum immediately after cleansing to still damp skin, without drying the skin.

In short, applying hydrating serum to damp skin can help improve the absorption and effectiveness of the serum, better hydrate the skin and strengthen the skin barrier.
