Do you notice your skin feeling dry, tight, and dull? Do you want to give your face a boost of hydration and radiance? You're in the right place. It’s time for you to discover the power of peptides, sound familiar?
Peptides in cosmetics are used in both hair and facial products due to their multiple properties that improve the appearance of our skin and hair. How do they do it? We'll tell you shortly, but first, let's start with the basics: “What are peptides?”
They are molecules formed by the union of several amino acids through peptide bonds. Let's translate this… we can think of them as building blocks that make up proteins, and they are present in nature and responsible for many functions in our bodies. Why? Because they tell our body to activate the skin's repair mechanism it already has. This is why peptides are used in cosmetic products to prevent the appearance of wrinkles, or to improve the barrier function and consequently compensate for transepidermal water loss (TEWL), among other things. What is TEWL? It’s probably the reason you notice your skin feeling dry, tight, and dull. Keep reading.
Every day, your skin loses water, which is a natural process known as TEWL: Transepidermal Water Loss.
In this process (TEWL), water travels from the deeper layers of the skin to the surface (stratum corneum), where it evaporates. So far, so good, it’s a natural process, right?, but, you need to be careful to ensure your skin doesn't lose more water than it needs, as that’s when it starts to feel dry, tight, and dull.
Therefore, the key is to compensate for this natural water loss so our body maintains the necessary levels, and our skin stays hydrated and radiant. These proper water levels are indicators of healthy skin. Why? Because they contribute to the proper functioning of the skin barrier and also to the skin’s ability to retain water.
In short, low TEWL indicates that the skin barrier is effectively performing its protective function, while high TEWL suggests a damaged or compromised skin barrier. When this water loss is not replenished, symptoms such as tightness, sensitivity, or a duller (less radiant) appearance can occur, along with signs like wrinkles and fine lines, sound familiar?
The skin barrier is your first line of defense, a multifunctional structure that acts as a protective shield against the surrounding environment. It’s not only a physical barrier but also a chemical and immunological one, defending you against external agents. From microorganisms and chemicals to ultraviolet radiation, this essential barrier protects your body while retaining vital fluids and nutrients. It’s like a fortress that not only blocks the entry of harmful substances but also minimizes water loss, keeping your skin hydrated, resilient, and healthy.
Therefore, it is crucial to maintain a healthy barrier function and ensure our skin properly replenishes this water loss to achieve a healthy, hydrated, and radiant complexion. And how can we achieve this? With the help of peptides…
Including products with peptides in your skincare routine can offer visible results, especially in terms of well-ageing, meaning improving skin smoothness, reducing fine lines, and additionally, improving the overall appearance and health of the skin, contributing to that desired radiance and healthy glow.
That’s what you’ll notice on the "outermost layer" of your skin (not bad, right?), but peptides also, as mentioned earlier, help the proper functioning of our skin from within, helping to reinforce the skin barrier, balance transepidermal water loss, and promote collagen and elastin synthesis in the skin cells.
In short, they are suuuper powerful actives for the optimal functioning of our skin, so we can see and feel it better than ever.
Glass Skin refers to a uniform, radiant, smooth, super-hydrated skin with an almost translucent appearance and a very healthy glow, an effect often compared to glass (hence the name), as the skin appears so radiant and uniform that it allows light to reflect, giving a natural, fresh, and vibrant appearance.
To achieve the glass skin effect, deep hydration is necessary, compensating for transepidermal water loss, and contributing to a balanced and reinforced skin barrier. For all of this, as we have explained throughout this article, we can count on the power of peptides combined with other potent actives such as carnosine, postbiotic ferments, orozu complex, and vegan hyaluronic acid… (among others), which can achieve that sought-after glass skin effect. And where can you find all of this? Up next…
It’s time to introduce you to this peptide-rich facial hydrating milk that will revolutionize and simplify your routine; Multi-Peptide Hydra Milk.
