The next time you hop out the shower, think twice before you completely dry off! This is because there is real benefit to applying your body care on damp skin! (This also applies to skin care and hair care, but thats a conversation for another day).
Did you know that damp skin is more permeable than dry skin.
Basic skin physiology tells us that the skin is composed of multiple layers, one being the stratum corneum (the outermost layer), which acts as a barrier to protect the body from eternal factors. The stratum corneum also consists of dead skin cells and when damp, becomes more pliable and permeable to ingredients that are able to penetrate that outer layer.
To take it a step further, imagine that your skin been exfoliated and there are no dead skin cells that prevent maximum absorption of your skincare products. That is the optimal scenario for healthy skin!
Science also shows us that hydrated skin can facilitate the absorption of certain ingredients through transepidermal delivery. Meaning that exfoliated, damp skin is the perfect opportunity to allow the active ingredients in your body care products get to work!
At BLK LABEL SOCIETY, we offer two options of exfoliating nets based on the level of exfoliation you are looking for, i.e. gentle vs intensive. Also, our Body Cream is meant to be applied to clean, damp skin to allow for all of the amazing anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatories, tyrosinase inhibitors, humectants and fatty acids to help your skin function at its best!
