Many so-called moisturising formulas simply do not have the right chemistry, molecular size and structure to deeply penetrate the skin tissue and interact with skin cells at cellular level.

The moisturising crème simply sits on the surface of the skin doing nothing. A crème that merely lubricates the surface of the skin is not a true moisturiser.

The Acid Mantle is the protective barrier on the surface of the skin that consists of natural oil and water secretions produced by the sebaceous and sweat glands in the skin.

The combination of oil and water on the skin’s surface forms the Acid Mantle, which is your skin’s own natural moisturiser.

The question is how does one create this Acid Mantle, which is important in maintaining the skin optimally, that is keeping it younger for longer, preventing acne and pigmentation?

So the next time you purchasing a moisturiser, ask your beauty therapist would your moisturiser achieve this.
