Why preventative body skincare should be your new daily ritual
Harsh environments and cleansers can damage the skin barrier. It's important to keep up a body skincare ritual to protect your skin barrier. Use lotions enriched with ceramides, urea and thiamidol for intense moisturisation. Mix tissue oils with lotions for a double layer of protection and moisture. _______________________________________________________________________ This season's harsh air and winter rain can wreak absolute havoc on your skin. For a lot of people, body care is only a priority when their skin starts to feel dry, tight or uncomfortable. Irritation sets in and only then do we look for those intensive creams and moisturising lotions. It becomes a vicious cycle, and the only way to end that cycle is to make skincare an everyday ritual - not just for your face but for the whole body. @truelovemagazine #NomzamoMbatha is the ambassador for Neutragena. She shares 2 common skincare mistakes that people make. #skintok #beautytok ♬ original sound - TRUELOVE How to stop dry skin before it starts The skin doesn't just dry out for no reason. Zethu Zulu, the product development technologist at Unilever, tells TRUELOVE, 'At some point, all of us have healthy-looking skin and that's what we desire. But because of environmental stressors, harsh cleansers and stuff like that, you'll end up having dry and ashy skin, and that's because of a compromised skin barrier. That's when you lose moisture and your skin feels rougher and it doesn't feel as smooth as you want it to be.' Lotions equipped with ceramides and urea for moisture, Thiamidol for uneven skin When we look at the science of skin, Zethu explains that our skin barrier is basically skin cells glued together by ceramides, which are fats or lipids. One of the most effective tools in the preventive skincare arsenal is urea, a natural compound already found in healthy skin. It's a moisture magnet, drawing hydration into the skin and helping the skin retain it. There are skincare lotions that combine urea with ceramides for deep moisturisation, and they help improve the skin's water-binding capacity. Ceramide-enriched body creams also offer a huge dose of these ceramides to lock in moisture, while body lotions that are infused with thiamidol - a patented skincare ingredient that targets dark marks - target hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TRUELOVE Magazine (@truelovemagazine) Double up with tissue and body gel oils While ceramide-enriched creams are a great start, using them alone might not be enough, especially for those with especially dry and cracked skin. Zethu explains, 'Skin cells [are] glued together by the lipid layer and, for you to boost hydration, you need to fix the lipid layer ... What we know about ceramides is they're quite large molecules and because of that they're not able to penetrate the skin well and that limits their efficacy. 'So, no matter how much you add to your skin cells, it doesn't penetrate. It just sits on your skin. It does moisturise you but it doesn't do much for the lipid layer that needs boosting.' @truelovemagazine Pamela Mtanga shares her top winter skincare tip when it comes to dry feet. #pamelamtanga #winterskincaretips ♬ original sound - TRUELOVE To get that extra layer of moisture deep through the skin, add some tissue oil or body gels packed with vitamin E, cocoa butter and sesame oils into your preferred body lotion. If you don't want the whole bottle infused with oil, a few drops into the palm of your hand mixed with some lotion will do the trick. Body gels give 'the body the building blocks that it needs to build its own ceramides or to boost its ceramides,' Zethu explains.
