FOR WHAT?
People who suffer from a problem skin
Characteristics of problem skin
- The skin is very dry and rough in places.
- You suffer from itching and redness.
- The skin is shiny and blemished (pimples, blackheads, white bumps, dilated pores).
Acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis… these are skin ailments we’d rather not have. They’re often chronic conditions that cannot be remedied, but we can relieve the symptoms and reduce complaints. Oftentimes, the symptoms are caused by a poorly functioning skin barrier.
Which ailment do you suffer from?
It’s the result of a damaged outer skin layer. Impurities and bacteria penetrate the skin and cause inflammation: the skin is itchy, red, and extremely dry. Because of this disrupted skin barrier, (staphylococcus) bacteria can penetrate the skin more easily from the outside – and vice versa, it causes water and nutrients to escape from the inside. Eczema is almost impossible to cure, but there are treatments that can reduce the symptoms and discomfort. SELF restores the skin barrier and nourishes intensively, working anti-bacterially and against infections. Our products contain ingredients such as: Vitamin B3, it has anti-inflammatory properties which helps soothe flakey, itchy skin. It’s to another skin barrier strengthener and it also helps reduce redness, and target signs of aging.; vitamins A and E, and essential fatty acids which all aid in keeping skin smooth and hydrated.
A chronic inflammatory skin condition recognisable mainly by redness in the face. The main symptoms of rosacea are facial flushing, irritated skin, and pimples. Other symptoms include blushing easily and eye problems. Rosacea is common, affecting around 1–20% of the population. However, people frequently receive the wrong diagnosis when they have rosacea, so the true incidence may be a lot higher. SELF helps to reduce inflammation and skin discoloration. It contains Complex fatty acids such as allantoin and cinnamic acid help to keep the skin healthy and beautiful and strengthen its barrier function, as does Vitamin E; Salicylic acid reduces flakiness and redness and softens the outer skin layer; and many other active ingredients
This is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that causes red scaly patches.Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes red, flaky, crusty patches of skin covered with silvery scales. These patches normally appear on your elbows, knees, scalp and lower back, but can appear anywhere on your body. Most people are only affected with small patches. In some cases, the patches can be itchy or sore. SELF will nourish and repair the skin. It contains, Lauric and capric acid form the skin’s natural protective layer. They have an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, Vitamin B ensures the production of the essential building blocks of the skin, Complex fatty acids such as allantoin and cinnamic acid help to keep the skin healthy and beautiful and strengthen its barrier function, as does Vitamin E and many more.
The skin lacks nutrition, causing it to become unbalanced and produce extra sebum. When sebum (the fat that keeps the skin supple) accumulates and mixes with dirt and dead skin cells, the pores become clogged. Bacteria proliferate in the clogged pores and cause pimples to form.
How can you take care of blemished skin?
DOs
- Effective daily care
Problem skin is very vulnerable. Damage to the outermost layer of the skin can cause skin problems to flare up again. That’s why it’s important to take good care of the skin. With the right daily nutrition, you can keep the problems under control. - Cleanse
Establish a daily cleansing ritual and always cleanse your skin in the morning. At night, your skin eliminates the toxins that have entered during the day. - Be kind to your skin
Pat your skin dry instead of rubbing it and nourish it daily with a rich cream. Protect your skin especially well when you go swimming, in extreme cold or in strong sunshine.
DON’Ts
- Aggressive products
Don’t use harsh soaps or cosmetics with chemicals or high alcohol content. They’ll put even more pressure on your fragile skin. - Heat
Avoid hot baths and showers. These dry out the skin unnecessarily. A water temperature of 32 degrees is ideal. In addition, pat your skin dry and be sure not to rub it.
