GETTING SKIN THAT GLOWS, NATURALLY!

What Does Moisturizing the Skin Really Mean?

We all want healthy, glowing skin but many of us are looking in the wrong places. There are an abundance of hydrating and moisturizing skincare products on the market, and it can get confusing! To get this radiant skin we are dreaming of, it is important to understand how the skin functions to most efficiently take in all the hydration and moisture it needs to look and feel its best. Let’stake a closer look.

What You Need to KNOW: Trans-Epidermal Water Loss

In order to understand how to take care of your skin as far as hydrating and moisturizing goes, it’s important to understand water loss to your skin—when and why it happens. Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) is the amount of water your skin loses each day. We lose approximately half a litre of water due to a variety of factors, like temperature--low temperatures are linked to greater TEWL and on the flip side, high temperatures are linked to lower TEWL. You might think it’s the other way around (that you lose more water when you’re warm), however, this temperature pattern explains why your skin is dryer in winter and better hydrated in the summer. Water intake is another factor in TEWL, and we tend to drink less in winter overall, compared to summer. Thus, drinking more water during winter months is good for your skin.

Moisturize your Skin Properly

Using a quality moisturizer that’s right for you can help remedy the effects of TEWL on your skin, particularly during the colder winter months and after swimming, showering or bathing. Moisturizing your skin with a quality moisturizer creates a barrier of protective oils over your skin which in turn reduces the amount of water your skin will lose. The right moisturizing product helps to keep hydration in your skin, prevents water loss and helps create balance. This results in soft, smooth and supple skin instead of dry, rough and flaky skin. This can be accomplished with the regular use of Wild Grace’s serums.

Let Your Doshas Guide You

Inspired by Ayurvedic approach to health and wellness, Wild Grace’s Vata, Pitta and Kapha signature “dosha” serums are each designed to address specific need sof the skin in accordance to the dosha (Vata, Pitta or Kapha) in question. For information about these Ayurvedic doshas, click here. In terms of skin, a predominantly Vata dosha individual generally experiences dryness, premature aging and thinning of the skin. A predominantly Pitta dosha individual may experience sensitivity, rosacea, acne and will have combination skin with a tendency towards inflammation. A predominantly Kapha dosha individual will experience oiliness, cysts, larger pores and/or blackheads.
