Face dehydration head-on with Face the Facts Moisturiser!
Dehydrated skin is such a nuisance, isn’t it?
Whether out of negligence (wash your face regularly, people!), pollutants (smog ain’t good for the skin), seasonal change (moisture-less winters are harsh for most of us) or a skin condition (shout out to fellow sufferers of eczema, rosacea and other annoying things), our skin needs to be regularly moisturized to stay healthy and fresh. Unfortunately, most moisturisers out there only work sporadically, do long-term damage or just not right for your skin! Which is why YellowBerry has been hard at work to introduce a moisturiser that suits most skin types, has lasting positive effects, and are made from natural ingredients. Well, the wait is over. And it’s time to Face the Facts.
Why do I need to Moisturise?
In a perfect world, we wouldn’t! Our body has its own system to balance moisture and keep our skin hydrated. All our hair follicles contain the sebaceous gland. The function of this gland is to maintain hydration on our skin by regularly excreting a lubricant called sebum. Sebum production starts in our teenage years and is the main cause, along with hormonal changes, for teenage acne.
In ideal skin, the sebum production would be regulated such that the skin is regularly hydrated while maintaining the skin’s natural protective barriers.
Unfortunately, no one has perfect skin, (even those models and actors you see on TV have their issues! You just don’t see them) so this balance is not maintained. Excess sebum makes your skin oily and products that deal with oily skin can remove moisture as well as oil from our skin. Inadequate sebum will render your skin dry. Most people’s skin can be either too oily or too dry or a combination thereof. Mature skin starts losing its protective barrier and people suffering from skin conditions have imbalanced moisture for a variety of reasons. The chemical pollutants we encounter everyday also strip moisture from our skin as well as damaging our natural microbiome.
All these factors conclude that, for virtually everyone, moisturising regularly is necessary for good skin health. But most commercial moisturisers contain chemicals, like parabens, phthalates, sulphates or oil-based ingredients like petroleum jelly, which can be harmful not only to our skin, but to the environment. Enter a new contender: Face the Facts from YellowBerry, a daily moisturiser that uses natural ingredients that ensure your skin is hydrated regularly without the pesky side effects of commercial oil-based products!
