While research continues on what actually causes people to get skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis etc., experts agree, that the main concern with any skin condition is an impaired skin protection barrier. Here we explain, how the unique Spiralin microalgae extract, upon which the skinicer Repair and Spirularin ranges are based, can help - naturally!
The Main Concern:
Damaged Skin Protection Barrier
Experts agree, that the main concern with any skin condition such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis etc. is that the skin's natural protective barrier is damaged.
You may have heard of the term "microbiome". Research has shown, that each person has a unique blend of good and not so good microbes which live on their skin.
Generally the "good" microbes outweigh the not so good, and can protect the skin against infections. However, in the case of skin conditions, this microbiome is imbalanced and the good microbes aren't strong enough to help protect the skin.
Leads to Secondary Infections - Causing Itchiness & Irritation
To add insult to injury, if skin is dry and cracked it becomes very easy for bacteria and fungi to enter into the deeper layers of the skin. Experts have discovered, that what causes the itchiness in skin conditions isn't the condition itself, but majority of the time it is because a secondary, bacterial infection has developed, causing inflammation in the skin which leads to the extreme itchiness and irritation.
Furthermore, when sufferers then scratch the skin - even more bacteria from the hands and fingernails enter the skin worsening the inflammation further!
So What Is Needed & How Can A Microalgae Help?
Active Antimicrobial Protection – Protects Skin To Reduce Inflammation & Itchiness
Of particular concern are the drug-resistant strains of bacteria, such as staphylococcus aureus - often referred to as the hospital "superbug"...The unique, Spiralin® microalgae extract proved highly effective, natural protection against a broad range of fungi, yeasts, virus and bacteria - including the drug-resistant staphylococcus aureus!
This ensures that skin which is extremely damaged or sensitive is actively protected against infections to minimise risk of inflammation, itchiness and irritation.
The best part: Spiralin® only targets the "bad" microbes, while not interfering with the good ones already trying to protect your skin.
Cell-Regenerative Action – Accelerates Healing of Damaged Skin
Spiralin® microalgae extract also has powerful cell-regenerative properties: studies revealed that collagen-forming skin cells that had lost almost 50% of their cell activity as the result of UV irradiation, were able to regain approx. 50% of the lost activity under the influence of the sugar molecules contained in Spiralin®. This cell-regenerative action helps damaged skin heal faster.
Collagen-Boosting Action – Helps Restore Skin's Natural Barrier & Microbiome
The collagen-forming skin cells (fibroblasts) play an important role not only in the ageing of skin, but also in ensuring damaged skin is restored and strengthened.
Studies have shown that the sugar molecules contained in Spiralin® increase the formation of collagen in human skin cells by up to 36%.
This also helps skin regenerate faster, as well as help restore its natural protection barrier, for reduced risk of flare ups long term.
