• What is external ageing?

External ageing is what happens to the outer skin, the visible part of your skin or complexion when we’re unable to take care of it. You should know that 70% of signs of aging skin – fine lines & wrinkles, spots, uneven skin tones, dull skin, loss of firmness, sagging, pigmentation – are due to external ageing. And thanks to our environmental factors and urban lifestyles, this could start as early as in our twenties.

• How does the daily weather affect skin?

The weather weighs on our skin on a daily basis. Common elements include sunshine, temperature, humidity, rain, snow, and so on. At times our skin has to make this adjustment rather quickly, which can throw off the moisture balance and lipid barrier function of the skin which often is noticeable visibly.

• Does humidity affect skin?

Environmental humidity plays a large role in skin moisture. When humidity is high, skin pulls water from the air into the skin, to help keep it hydrated. In addition, humidity causes the pores of the skin to open which puts pores at risk of gathering dirt, oil, pollution particles and allergens. When humidity is low, skin pulls some water from inside the body, but the natural state for the outer skin in low humidity is to be dehydrated. Dehydrated/dry skin can cause the skin barrier to crack.
