Your Skin is Your Caretaker

Skinprint founder, Robert Manzo, reflects on the important role skin plays.

You wash your face once or twice a day…

You apply enhancing products almost every day…

The sun glow finds you outside often…

Wherever you go something in the air interacts with you…

The seasons change from warm to cold and back…

You are sometimes a creature of habit but break the rules enough...

So what does your skin say to that?

We cannot hide and avoid the ever-changing world and the ever-changing self. We know that the one thing that is constant is change. We adapt, we go on, we live. We live as well and as best we can. The best gift we can give ourselves is that of health and the constancy of allowing ourselves time to heal each day.

Your skin is your caretaker. It protects you. It allows you to feel pleasure and pain and it tells you when the environment around you has taken its toll on you. Treating your skin with the respect it deserves is one thing you can do to keep yourself healthy.

Your skin is like a delicate membrane where it strives to always maintain a steadiness where it hydrates your skin from the inside and protects you from outside aggressors. This is called the barrier function of skin. It needs your constant help to help you.

Acidity vs alkalinity. Like everything in nature balance is key. Your skin has a property called natural pH which allows it to work optimally. It doesn’t like to be out of its natural range and will behave like a petulant child if it does. It will throw tantrums, turn red and will be irritating. To calm it down requires that you bring it back in balance each day.

In this COVID world a lot is made of bad viruses as it should be. Awareness of the skins’ delicate balance of bacteria and other micro-organisms is important. Your skin like you is unique. Each of us has many millions of these microorganisms on the surface of our skin which help it to stay naturally balanced and healthy. This eco-system of skin is called your individual microbiome.
