Många av oss känner till tarmflorans betydelse för vår allmänna hälsa, däremot är hudmikrobiomet inte lika väl etablerat. Under de senaste åren har vikten av vår hudflora (mikrobiom) blivit alltmer känt eftersom att det verkar vara viktigt för att hålla vår hud i ett hälsosamt tillstånd...

Skin cream contains emollients to preserve moisture in the skin, preventing it from becoming dry and flaky. There are both synthetic emollients, such as squalene and mineral oils, and natural emollients such as lanolin and cocoa butter.
Most of us love spending time in the sun and if we enjoy the sun in reasonable amounts, it can give us many health benefits. However, overexposure to UV radiation can not only cause painful red-burnt skin but also more long-term effects such as premature aging of the skin with deep wrinkles and brown spots. Excessive tanning can also cause various forms of skin cancer. To protect yourself against the harmful sun rays, you can minimize time spent outdoors during mid-day hours when the sun is at its highest point, put on a protective layer of clothing and a sun hat, and apply sunscreen to exposed skin. And precisely those - the sunscreen products – we are going to dive into now.
Winter, heat, water, dry air, lots of handwashing, soap and sanitizer. A normal day in our life can really take its toll on our poor hands! Washing our hands is a habit we hardly think about, but what about moisturizing our hands? Many of us tend to forget this and our hands will not be late to tell us. Dryness, itching, stinging and sometimes cracks that hurt and just won’t heal. Ouch!
Your skin will be thankful to you for many reasons if you eat fatty acids omega 3 and omega 6. Fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin which means that they are particularly beneficial for people with skin inflammation such as acne or eczema. Clinical studies are showing that omega 3 supplements can reduce skin inflammation associated with disorders like psoriasis or eczema.
The status of your skin health is to a large extent a reflection of your lifestyle. Everything we put in our body, from carrots to tobacco smoke, affects your skin. That is why some lifestyle habits can cause premature skin aging and result in unhealthy skin. Our lifestyle is thought to account for 75% of our skin status, while our genes account for a mere 25%. Because of the huge impact, your lifestyle has on your skin, we have put together a science-based guide that will hopefully help you in creating positive lifestyle habits for your skin.
Huden är ett av kroppens viktigaste organ, förutom att tjäna som vårt yttersta försvar mot sol, dåliga bakterier och farliga ämnen så fungerar den som ett slags skyltfönster mot omvärlden och berättar en hel del om vilka vi är. Med en yta på cirka två kvadratmeter är den även vårt största organ men trots det vet de flesta av oss relativt lite om hur huden fungerar. Vi vet att fet fisk är bra för hjärnan, att olivolja är bra för hjärtat och att kalcium ger starka ben, men huden, hur tar vi hand om den?
Sunscreen products sold in Europe are covered by cosmetic products legislation. According to the regulations, sunscreen products should be labeled with certain symbols and specific labels to guide the user. It can be difficult to understand all the numbers, text and symbols on the sunscreen. Figure 2 gives a brief explanation of the most common labels.
This is our Spicy Polyphenol Bonanza-recipe that combines the stilbene resveratrol with the tannin procyanidin. Both belong to an enormous group of antioxidants that are called polyphenols in which there are mainly three important classes being stilbenes, tannins, and flavonoids. Polyphenols are the group of antioxidants that have been most researched in connection with skin aging. A diet rich in polyphenols is believed to be good for both our internal organs and our external one – the skin.
UV filters affect the environment around us and can in some cases also affect the person using the product. The higher the molecular weight of a substance, the less likely it is to penetrate the skin. Since UV filters only provide UV protection on the skin's surface, the filters that do not penetrate the skin will work the best...
All sun protection products are resource-intensive and have an environmental impact, which comes from producing the raw materials as well as the product itself, its packaging, and all associated transport. These products also affect the environment after we use them. Aquatic organisms and their ecosystems are particularly affected because most of the products we use eventually end up in the water — when we swim, when we shower after the beach or when we wash clothes and towels with residual sunscreen.
