De flesta av oss känner till vikten av en balanserad tarmflora för en god hälsa. Men hur är det med hudfloran, hur bra förhållande har du till den? Ny forskning på huden påvisar nu den starka relationen mellan hudfloran (=mikrobiomet) och din hudhälsa. Det är dags att lära känna hudens eget mikrobiom.
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.
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.
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!
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.
In the past decade, research on the microbiome has completely boomed. Each one of us carries trillions of microorganisms in the form of bacteria, viruses, and fungi on our skin. There are so many that we actually have more bacterial...
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?
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...
A number of studies have shown that a mix of vitamin C and E can have a big impact on skin aging. If you also add carotenoids to that mix, studies have shown that the mix can be effective in decreasing signs of aging caused by the sun. That is why we have created the sun smoothie for your skin, where we have made sure you get a good mix of carotenoids, vitamin C, and E!
This is our “Carotenoid-rich gazpacho for the skin”-recipe. We want to eat carotenoids because it is a group of antioxidants that have a protective effect on the skin. For example, beta-carotene belongs to the group of carotenoids and is converted into vitamin A in the body when needed. When your source of beta-carotene comes from carrots (the best source), your liver takes two to four hours to produce vitamin A, which is then transported to your skin.
