We all want to have beautiful, luminous and healthy skin, but this is not always easy. What really is the key to healthy skin?
The skin is covered by a complex mixture of water and lipids, called the hydrolipidic mantle, which is responsible for preventing water loss and protecting us from external agents, in addition to giving the skin its velvety appearance. Therefore, keeping the cloak in perfect condition is vital for healthy and beautiful skin.
When the balance of the mantle is broken, dry skin appears, resulting in the appearance of micro-cracks in the skin’s natural protective barrier, causing loss of hydration and leaving it unprotected. The skin loses its luminosity, becomes tight, dull and uncomfortable.
Since ancient times, natural oils have been used to combat dryness, restore and protect skin in the most gentle way . But why have natural vegetable oils been and are the best option?
