"I LOVE your Face Skin Care products!"

Water makes up 60% of the human body. Yet the skin still gets dry, itchy & flaky. Why? Well, while you don't notice it, 4-8 oz. of water evaporates through the skin every day. Replenishing water by drinking more fluids is helpful, but does not guarantee smooth & resilient skin.

Moisture balance is regulated by chemical reactions in tissues, & is not directly related to the amount of water you drink. Applying water topically does not help much either. During a bath, up to 2 oz. of water can be absorbed by the skin.

Skin does feel soft & moisturized right after a bath: it happens because the outermost skin layer absorbs water. But this water is not allowed any deeper than the surface cells. Later, within 10 minutes, all this water evaporates, leaving skin dry again.

Human skin has its own mechanism to prevent moisture loss. Our skin cells work hard to create a protective layer. This layer consists of oils, amino acids, sugar compounds and other elements, either water or oil soluble. All together they bind with water and don't let it evaporate. The skin becomes softer, smoother and more flexible. So why even worry about your face?

One of Feierabend's best face skin care products is featured below:

Hot or cold air, low humidity & frequent contacts with water or cleansing solutions can ruin the protective layer. This causes skin to lose its natural ability to hold moisture.

When water level in the skin drops by 10%, the skin becomes dry, itchy and flaky. As we age, the skin's protection mechanism slows down and skin becomes dry. In some people dry skin is inherited genetically. Even though the outermost skin layer is made of dead cells, we have to take care of it.

The primary function of the outer skin layer is protection of deeper skin layers, where new cells are born. Regular use of hydrating creams in a face skin care regimen helps to prevent water loss, restore moisture balance & elasticity of the outer skin layer & help it do its job.
