SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF DRY SKIN

  • Skin that feels and looks rough and dry
  • Dull skin tone
  • Slight to severe flaking skin, which causes an ashy look affecting dry brown and black skin
  • A feeling of skin tightness
  • Itchiness (pruritus)
  • Skin that feels and looks rough and dry
  • Dull and lifeless skin
  • Slight to severe flaking skin, which causes an ashy look affecting dry brown and black skin
  • Slight to severe flaking skin, which may cause an ashy appearance
  • A feeling of skin tightness
  • Itchiness (pruritus)

WHAT IS DRY SKIN?

  • Dry skin is characterised by the lack of moisture in the stratum corneum (SC). This is the outermost skin layer.
  • Water is the major softener of the skin, and when levels are low, cracks and fissures occur.
  • For the skin to appear and feel normal, the water content of the SC must be greater than 10%.
  • A disruption or defect in the skin's permeability barrier, allows excessive water to be lost from within the skin into the atmosphere. Referred to as transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
  • When skin becomes too dry, the outer skin layers stiffen and may develop cracks. The cracks become fissures in the skin that become irritated, inflamed, and itchy.

SKIN BARRIER FUNCTION

The 2 PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF THE skin barrier

  • PERMEABILITY BARRIER: Creating a barrier against electrolytes- and moisture loss (TEWL - Trans-epidermal Water loss)
  • ANTIMICROBIAL BARRIER: Creating a barrier against the entry of unwanted microorganisms such as allergens and irritants. This function protects the skin against irritant dermatitis and skin infections.
  • Both of these barriers are localised primarily to the stratum corneum layer of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin).

    When these barrier functions are impaired, the result is:  DRY SKIN

    When these barrier functions are impaired, the result is:

DERMNOURISH™ MOISTURISER CLASSES MODE OF ACTION

LIPID-BILAYER BARRIER REPAIR TECHNOLOGY

  • Unlike moisturizers, topical ceramide-dominant, triple-lipid products amplify lipid production and replenish the lamellar bilayers that are critical for normal barrier function and antimicrobial defense.
  • Topically applied physiologic lipids, in contrast to moisturisers, do not form an occlusive layer on the SC surface. Instead, they are quickly absorbed into the underlying nucleated cell layers, where they incorporate into lamellar bodies.
  • This Barrier Repair Therapy furthermore reduces inflammation by several mechanisms, leading to a smoother surface with less friction and greater light refraction.

Physiologically repair the lipid bilayers critical for normal barrier function and antimicrobial defence.

EMOLLIENTS

  • Emollients soften and smooth the skin.
  • They function by filling the gaps between skin cells and replace missing lipids.
  • Emollients flatten the curled edges of the individual skin cells (corneocytes).
  • This leads to a smoother surface with less friction and greater light refraction.

Fill the gaps between skin cells and replace missing lipids.

HUMECTANTS

  • Humectants are water-soluble materials with high water absorption capabilities.
  • Draw moisture from the air into the skin and/or draw moisture from the dermis into the epidermis.
  • The attract water from the atmosphere and from the underlying dermis into the epidermis (outer skin layer).
  • Although humectants may draw water from the environment to help hydrate the skin, in low-humidity conditions they may take water from the deeper epidermis and dermis resulting in increased skin dryness. For this reason, they work better when combined with occlusives.

Draw moisture from the air into the skin and/or draw moisture from the underlying dermis into the epidermis.

OCCLUSIVES

  • Occlusives create a protective layer on top of the skin that prevent water loss and “seal” in moisture.
  • Occlusives coat the stratum corner (outermost skin layer) to retard transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
  • Occlusives is one of the best choices to treat dry skin because it provides an emollient effect as well as decreases TEWL.
  • Occlusive agents are only effective while present on the skin; once removed, TEWL returns to the previous level.

I love DermNourish and all the Dermal Health products. I started using it during my first pregnancy when my skin started having lots of impurities, my melasma actually improved, where it usually gets worse during pregnancy, I have been using the products ever since and my skin has never looked better.

Really love this, my breakouts where painful and sensitive and even though I get acne my skin feels dry and dehydrated, this managed to soothe and hydrate just as I needed. Also did not feel a residue afterwards.

Best products I have ever used!

I started using Dermal Health products about 2 years ago. I will never change to any other product again. My daughter suffered from acne breakouts at the beginning of this year and I have her on these products as well. Her skin has cleared up beautifully.
