Characteristics of problem skin

  • The skin is very dry and rough in certain places.
  • You suffer from itching and redness.

Rosacea, eczema, psoriasis… are skin conditions that we would rather not have. These are often chronic conditions that cannot be remedied, but we can alleviate the symptoms and reduce complaints. Because very often the symptoms are caused by a poorly functioning skin barrier.

What ailment do you suffer from?

Eczema

Is the result of a damaged outer layer of skin. Impurities and bacteria penetrate the skin and cause inflammation: the skin is itchy, red and extremely dry. This disrupted skin barrier makes it easier for (Staphylococcal) bacteria to penetrate the skin from the outside, but vice versa, water and nutrients can also escape from the inside. SELF repairs the skin layer and nourishes it intensely, has an antibacterial and anti-infection effect. The cream contains the building blocks that the skin needs to recover. Oa. Vitamin F is rich in essential fatty acids, which provide good hydration and repair dry, rough skin. Complex fatty acids such as allantoin and cinnamic acid help keep the skin healthy and beautiful and strengthen the skin's barrier function, just like Vitamin E. Laurine and Capric Acid form the skin's natural protective layer. They have an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that is mainly recognized by redness on the face. The most striking feature is the bright red color of the cheeks and nose, and you may also suffer from small dilated blood vessels (couperose), bumps and pimples. This skin problem mainly occurs in middle-aged women (+ 30 years), and to a lesser extent in men. The exact cause is unknown, but the complaints can be worsened by external factors such as excessive sun exposure, consuming alcohol and the use of non-natural care products that contain chemicals or cortisone. SELF visibly reduces symptoms and redness. The products include: Lauric and Capric Acid form the natural protective layer of the skin. They have an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, which reduces redness. Vitamin B ensures the production of the essential building blocks of the skin. Salicylic acid reduces flakes, redness and softens the stratum corneum.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that causes red scaly patches and itching. The skin may feel better temporarily, but will experience flare-ups over time, temporarily aggravating the problem. Damage to the skin barrier, burning of the skin, stress and infections influence the complaints and can therefore have a negative effect. Psoriasis mainly affects adults (both men and women) and is generally more common in people who smoke or regularly consume alcohol. SELF soothes the symptoms and repairs the skin layer and builds up the skin. It contains, among other things. Vitamin A ensures cell renewal, in combination with vitamin E it is a golden duo. They stimulate collagen and skin elasticity and thus prevent aging. In addition, Vit.E strengthens the skin barrier. Complex fatty acids such as allantoin and cinnamic acid help keep the skin healthy and beautiful and strengthen the skin's barrier function, just like Vitamin E....

Couperose

Couperosis is the presence of dilated red and/or blue blood vessels in the face. This condition is often confused with psoriasis, but unlike psoriasis, people with rosacea do not suffer from bumps and pimples. To reduce rosacea, it is important that you avoid stimuli that can dilate the blood vessels. Therefore, protect yourself against sunlight, reduce your alcohol consumption and only use mild products that do not damage your skin barrier. Also avoid scrubs, as they are not good for your skin. The SELF products contain: Sterols retain moisture in the skin. Salicylic acid reduces flakes, redness and softens the stratum corneum. ...

How do you care for problem skin?

DOs

  • Good daily care
    Problem skin is very vulnerable. Damage to the outer layer of the skin causes skin problems to flare up again. That is why it is important to take good care of the skin. With the right daily diet you can keep the problems under control.
  • Clean
    Create a daily cleansing ritual. Also cleanse your skin in the morning. After all, at night your skin excretes the waste products that have entered during the day.
  • Be kind to the skin
    Pat the skin dry instead of rubbing it dry and nourish it daily with a rich cream. Protect your skin extra well when you go swimming, in extreme cold or in a lot of sun.

DONT'S

  • Aggressive products
    Do not use aggressive soaps or cosmetic products with chemicals or a high dose of alcohol. After all, they put even more pressure on your fragile skin.
  • Heat
    Avoid hot baths and showers. These will unnecessarily dry out the skin. A water temperature of 32 degrees is ideal. Additionally, pat your skin dry and be sure not to rub.
  • Alcohol
    Many skin problems (such as psoriasis and rosacea) are aggravated by the consumption of alcohol.
