Why do I have dry skin?
The skin is covered with a complex mixture (of water and lipids) called the hydrolipidic mantle that is responsible for preventing water loss and protecting us from external agents and giving the skin its velvety appearance.
When there is an imbalance of water and lipids, the barrier function cannot be carried out efficiently, leading to greater evaporation of water, allowing the penetration of external agents and leaving it unprotected. In addition, the skin loses its radiance and becomes tight, dull and uncomfortable.
Although it can affect anyone, there are certain factors that favor the appearance of dry skin : environmental changes, the loss of lipids or vitamins that our skin needs or a poor diet. There are also other causes that cause dryness that we ourselves can avoid, such as stress, fatigue, poor diet, alcohol and not drinking enough fluids. And it must be borne in mind that over the years our skin loses thickness and becomes thinner and therefore much drier.
The 5 reasons why you need a natural body oil
- Natural vegetable oils are able to retain skin hydration for longer than body milks. When the skin is in perfect balance it is naturally covered by a hydrolipidic film (of water and lipids) that helps retain moisture. Vegetable oils provide just the lipids that our skin needs to balance the natural barrier of the skin and thus retain hydration.
- They are absorbed more deeply into the skin and therefore fight dryness at deeper levels. Vegetable oils are obtained from fruits, grains and seeds, and are rich in valuable vitamins, minerals and nutrients, and contain large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. These oils penetrate deep into the skin, increasing its natural lipids and helping prevent moisture loss.
- Vegetable oils are very rich in essential fatty acids that have a molecular structure very similar to that of natural skin lipids, that is why they melt so well and are very easily assimilated by our own skin, helping it to improve its protective capacities. They are the best companion for your skin.
- They provide more intense and instantaneous nutrition . They are an authentic beauty treatment since their silky texture blends perfectly with the skin, leaving your skin deeply nourished and velvety instantly.
- A unique experience and the perfect way to end your day . Imagine stepping out of a refreshing shower and feeling your skin nourished, restored, and scented with your favorite natural body oil.
How is a natural oil different from a non-natural one?
Since ancient times, natural oils have been used to combat dryness, restore and protect the skin in the most gentle way. Vegetable oils are obtained from fruits, grains, and seeds, and are rich in valuable vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, as well as unsaturated fatty acids.
Natural vegetable oils contain substances that are present in the outer layers of our skin, soften the skin and help fight its dryness. Fatty acids are especially important components in skin care oils. Because they are very similar to skin lipids, they integrate well with metabolic processes, improving their protection capabilities.
The natural oils surround the skin, protecting it and providing it with all the nutrients it needs. However, oils of mineral origin create a film on the skin, occluding it and preventing proper oxygenation.
