Taking Care of Your Skin

The health of the largest organ of the body, the skin, means taking care of it, not only for beauty purposes but also for the health of your body. The skin is the largest gateway for the surrounding environment to interact with and enter your body, especially when substances applied to the skin have superior access to the bloodstream. Taking care of your skin and your body properly necessitates consistent care and a developed skin care routine. Utilizing the necessary skin care products into your routine based on your needs and your skin type is important for keeping up with your skin's health, as well as achieving the cosmetic and beauty benefits associated with hydrated and healthy skin.

What is a Body Lotion?

Body Lotion is a common and inexpensive element of the skin care routine that many individuals use to pamper themselves while providing hydration to their body's largest organ. Body lotions work to seal in moisture within the skin to prevent drying, also allowing the body to soften and repair rough elbows, knees, and heels, along with other dry areas of skin on the body. Body lotions of good quality work immensely on the scaly, dehydrated, and unattractive skin of the body, as well as reduce signs of aging in areas like the hands.¹

What are the Benefits of a Body Lotion?

Some benefits of using body lotions include rehydrating dried skin, replenishing extra dry or rough spots, smoothing calluses, improving mood and scent, inducing relaxation, softening the body, and making the skin glow. Body lotions are one of the staples of standard and dermatologist-recommended skin care routines.¹

Highlighted Ingredient: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice is commonly known as Aloe Vera, and is extracted from the leaves of the Aloe plant. Aloe has been used for thousands of years medicinally across many cultures, and it includes over 200 nutritional substances, including but not limited to 20 minerals, 20 amino acids, 12 vitamins (including A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, E, Choline and Folic Acid), and active enzymes. The vitamins are useful in protecting the skin from free radicals, which can damage skin and cause premature aging. The leaf juice of Aloe Barbadensis can serve as an anti-inflammatory and soothe the skin, even in cases of burns, and can also reduce scars and have wound healing properties. Aloe is also useful in protecting the skin from UV damage through aloin, an herb of aloe that can block up to 30 percent of ultraviolet rays when it's applied to the skin's surface.²

Highlighted Ingredient: Glyceryl Stearate

Glyceryl Stearate is a non-ionic opacifier, thickener, and stabilizer for skin care formulas, and functions as a skin conditioner, moisturizer, and hydrator. Applying glyceryl stearate to the skin provides lubricant to the skin layers, leaving them with a soft and smooth appearance of hydrated skin. Glycerin is also useful in the skin's aquaporins, or water channels, aiding in transport. Aquaporins are integrated membrane proteins that transfer water and small solutes across the skin's cell membrane to its uppermost layers. They are necessary in maintaining the skin's moisture balance, leaving it smooth and hydrated even in drier climates.³
