and may lead to additional problems , including clogged pores , congestion , and blemishes . The iS Clinical moisturizing ingredients will improve hydration by supplying bio-identical ingredients , such as ceramides , or by encouraging the synthesis of normally hydrating molecules within the skin .
As mentioned , the body often receives less than optimal skincare , although good daily skincare has been shown to restore an optimal ceramide balance , even in skin affected by atopic dermatitis . 10 In this study , use of a topical ceramide restored the skin barrier in persons with atopic dermatitis . Of note , SHEALD Recovery Balm contains bio-identical ceramides . An optimal ceramide balance can become compromised in anyone – from a skin condition , use of some medications , many diseases such as acne or rosacea , environmental exposure including sun , pollution , blue light , ambient tobacco smoke , other toxins , and other factors .

Sun protection is essential for the face , as well as for the body , and cannot be over-emphasized . Re-application of suncare products is also required for optimum protection . Sunscreens are no longer termed “ waterproof ” but may be tested for water resistance .
Sun protection is essential for the face , as well as for the body , and cannot be over-emphasized .
Although Eclipse SPF 50 + has been tested and is water resistant up to 40 minutes , appropriate re-application is required for optimum lasting sun protection . Extensive exposure to water , combined water and sun exposure , sports participation with sweating , or clothing rubbing against the skin may advise more frequent application . Sun protection – and especially reapplication – are often forgotten during sports activities but are just as important during these activities .
While sun protection is crucial to maintaining healthy skin , skin barrier protection is equally as important . An impaired skin barrier destroys the skin ’ s ability to perform its vital function of being a good barrier to the environment and also of keeping proper hydration within the deeper layers of the skin and body and preserving normal function-
