The Fix

Wash your hands!

Wash your hands! As we face the Coronavirus outbreak - this is such a critical refrain that I find myself repeating to my family (and myself) constantly. But how we wash our hands is also important. We need to wash thoroughly and completely with warm water and cleanser - to do our best to wash away germs that may have taken up residence on our skin. But all of this washing can strip vital lipids from our skin barrier and create dryness, irritation and even cracked skin.

Winter Skincare Solutions from the Total Skin Nerds

Dermatologists agree that the most effective moisturizers contain all three types of ingredients. In winter, it’s more critical than ever to ensure your skincare is effective at hydrating, nourishing and protecting your precious skin barrier.

The Fix

Did you know that all skin types can be dehydrated?

Did you know that all skin types can be dehydrated, even oily skin types? Dehydrated skin lacks water in the skin barrier. It’s possible that your skin can produce an abundance (or over-abundance) of sebum, but still be dehydrated. This happens when the skin barrier is compromised and not efficiently holding onto water. If your oily skin looks dull, feels tight, has a rough surface texture, is sensitive or reactive, or is developing lines and wrinkles, it may be dehydrated.

Put the baby fat back where it belongs

When we’re born, our skin barrier is plump with vital lipids. As we age, those lipids decrease. A decrease in lipids causes water loss through the skin, a slowing of desquamation (skin’s natural exfoliation of dead skin cells on its surface), a loss of elasticity, skin rigidity, a reduction in skin’s self-repair mechanisms, increased vulnerability to environmental aggressors and more!

Do you know what ceramides are?

Did you know that atopic skin (skin that is predisposed to a hypersensitivity reaction, often a hereditary condition like hereditary eczema), is often unable to produce adequate amounts of certain ceramides?

The Fix

We believe in being over-protective…

My kids criticize me for being an over-protective mom. I want them to build their confidence, to experience life’s undulations, to learn to fail, to make mistakes, and to own their triumphs. Secretly I want to wrap them in a protective and impermeable barrier that protects them from disappointment, heartache, embarrassment, and sadness. I realize this would stifle their development – and I do my best to strike a balance as best as I can. So, I fulfill my urge to be over-protective in formulating products for your skin! 

The Fix

We believe in kindness…

At Skinfix we believe in being kind to your skin. Your skin is an incredible organ: It keeps you hydrated, it defends against aggressors, it signals when something is hot or cold, it supports internal wellness, its ripples and grooves help express our emotions, its lines tell our story, its surface stimulates the enjoyment of human touch. Our skin can help heal itself if given the right nutrients, environment, protection, encouragement, and time.
