The skin is our first line of defense from everything. It protects us from the harm caused by microbes, chemicals, ultraviolet rays, and direct injury to the soft tissues. It covers the entire body, regulating its temperature and serving as the barrier that controls how much water gets released. The skin has 3 layers: the topmost epidermis, the middle dermis, and the bottom hypodermis. The epidermis maintains the skin’s integrity.
Now, what if our skin is compromised? What if it’s damaged?
If it is compromised, our immune system will work hard to restore its original state. But the repair process is still uncomfortable, painful, and itchy. The duration of the repair also depends on the extent of the damage. It can also leave visible scars.
Keep your skin healthy and relieve skin conditions with CANhaveTODAY! Our products will help maintain your skin’s integrity, soothe the itches and pains, and help with skin repair!
Understanding dry vs dehydrated skin
A common misunderstanding that exists is the confusion between dry vs dehydrated skin. Although they sound similar and appear almost the same at times, these two conditions have differing causes, symptoms, and treatments.
Dry skin, a skin type, is characterized by a lack of natural oils, or sebum, which leads to a deficiency of lipids needed to retain moisture and build a protective shield against external influences. Dry skin typically appears scaly and flaky.
Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, is a temporary condition caused by a lack of moisture in the skin that is caused by damage to the skin barrier. If you have dehydrated skin, you will notice that the skin will return back to normal more slowly after pinching.
Treating dry skin primarily involves sealing in the moisture in the skin. This includes using a fragrance-free cleanser, investing in a rich moisturizer or an oil-based cream to hydrate the skin, and using products that contain ingredients like shea butter and jojoba oil.
Tackling dehydrated skin means increasing its water content. You can achieve this by regularly drinking adequate amounts of water, using products with hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, and limiting exposure to drying factors like air conditioning and central heating.
CANhaveTODAY showcases the abilities of essential oils in skin care. Their soothing, moisturizing, and healing properties work together to enhance the health and comfort of both dry and dehydrated skin. By incorporating these essential oils into daily skin care routines, you can experience the natural benefits they offer!
