The skin’s natural hydration system is called the Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF). RINGANA research reveals which skin care helps to promote the NMF so that your skin always looks plumped and radiant.
What exactly is Natural Moisturising Factor?
Our skin is able to form a protective layer – the NMF – from amino acids, sugars, lactic acid and urea. It ensures that moisture is retained in the skin. This protective film keeps the skin elastic and strengthens its barrier function. And because the NMF also regulates the enzyme responsible for natural skin shedding, it boosts natural skin regeneration as well.
Our FRESH hydro serum is a powerful thirst-quencher for your skin. It supplies dry skin with a concentrated charge of moisture that penetrates deep into every layer and which, thanks to a peptide mix, is stored for a long time. Because of this peptide mix of acacia, carnosine and oligopeptide-1, the skin’s natural protective barrier is strengthened and the skin is revitalised.
Why can dry skin become a problem?
Dry skin is not as resilient as normal, well moisturised skin and this can lead to various complaints such as itching, burning, tightness and redness. In a worst-case scenario, it may also result in open, chapped patches of skin that can become inflamed.
How is the skin’s moisture content regulated?
The NMF also plays a major role with regard to the TEWL (transepidermal water loss). This value describes how much moisture is lost and how fast through diffusion in the dermis – which is the middle of our three skin layers. If the skin is in a weakened condition, more water is lost, leading to dry skin. By the way, you can have your current TEWL value measured by a dermatologist.
Our FRESH anti wrinkle serum is the grooming innovation for preventing fine lines and for mature skin. Extracts from the kangaroo paw plant firm up the facial contours. Paracress relaxes expression lines, while extracts from bulbine and the mulberry tree stimulate the production of collagen and elastic, helping to freshen up the complexion. Olive sprout stem cell extract revitalises the cells.
What can be done to prevent moisture loss in the dermis?
Support the NMF with grooming products that strengthen the skin barrier. Moisturisers such as hyaluronic acid help the skin to store more water.
Plant oils and fats along with ceramides, keep the skin barrier healthy, so they provide the basis for beautiful skin.
