Good Fats for your Skin

We all know that our skin is the first line of defense against the outside world.

But did you know that this protective barrier also has a protective barrier of its own? That’s right, it’s your skin’s natural moisture barrier, which is an important part in keeping you—and your skin—healthy. 

But sometimes this barrier becomes vulnerable from things like:

• Using harsh products,
• Subjecting it to not-so-friendly environmental conditions 
• The sun
• Diet
• Smoking and alcohol
• Lack of sleep/rest
• Repetitive facial expression

This can leave your skin dry, devitalized, dehydrated and feeling irritated. Your skin is made up of three layers:

1. Epidermis, the outermost layer and the part that gives us our skin tone, protects us from the environment, and is where we slather on products to help keep us looking beautiful. This is also where the skin’s moisture barrier resides and the part of your skin we’ll be focusing on.
2. Below the epidermis is the dermis which contains hair follicles, sweat glands and connective tissue.
3. The lowest layer is the hypodermis, which is where our cushiony subcutaneous fat is found.

The good news is plant oils are like food for your skin. They contain nourishing molecules your skin needs to be healthy and beautiful. Unlike many other ingredients, your skin can actually metabolize the fatty acids and nutrients in your face oil, which usually penetrates the upper layer of the skin, supplying nutrients and forming a thin, protective barrier.

Whether you are concerned with dryness, fine lines, acne, scars etc., using a well-formulated face oil can provide: fatty acids (omega 3, 6, 9, phytosterols, squalane, etc.), antioxidants, vitamins (e.g., vitamins A, D, E, K) anti-inflammatory and healing benefits, skin protection and skin repair, etc. It also helps to keep your skin moisturized.
