Throughout human history many cultures have used oils as treatment for improving their skin. Nevertheless, the cosmetic industry began in 1920 to spread the concept that these kinds of treatments were not good for the skin and started to encourage the use of oil in water mixed with detergents as moisturizers.

Cosmetic moisturizing treatments are regularly made of cheap oils and water-soluble chemicals. They do hydrate the skin but only for short periods. This weakens the skin's outer layer of protective proteins. Eventually they affect the skin's original capability to protect itself against bacteria and viruses. Another mistake in this kind of lotions is that they are added already existing fatty component in the skin.

Because of their chemical composition, many of these treatments obstruct the healing process of irritated skin. As a matter of fact they make everything worse by preventing healthy skin reconstruction, increasing inflammation and therefore damaging skin.

Why does dry skin develop?

1. Alteration of the protective barrier of the skin that leads to extreme lose of water through the pores.

2. A decline of the amounts of the dermal water holding sugars and proteins; the proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans

Proteoglycans (PGs) are proteins united to glucose chains called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). These GAGs are crucial substances of connective tissues. They control the structure and regulate the functions of the skin.

When the proteoglycans (PGs) are renovated this action influences the production and differentiation of cells. The healing process also depends on the amount of PGs. If the amount is not enough this creates abnormal scars, and thus the PGs play an essential role in avoiding keloids and hypertrophic scars.

When the skin loses glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) the skin on the face and the body becomes flaccid. GAGs hold water and make up most of the intercellular space between collagen & elastin proteins.

The best skin treatment is one that protects skin surface and heals skin from within. While healing from the inside, the skin is provided the necessary nutrients and an environment in which natural skin repair can take place.
