Maintaining Moisture & Natural Oils
Medline Remedy Phytoplex Nourishing Skin Cream contains the proprietary blend of botanicals that work to condition skin and maintain a healthy moisture balance. It also contains tiny, naturally occurring oil packets surrounded by phospholipid shells known as oleosomes. These oleosomes break open when spread on the skin, providing longlasting moisturization.
Protecting From Trans Epidermal Water Loss
Compromised skin allows for greater water loss from damaged or irritated areas. This trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) increases risk of further skin breakdown, leading to a higher risk of infection.
Replacing Mositure Lost with Age
One of the most significant changes in aging skin is increased dryness. This can be attributed to a combination of reduced water content in the uppermost layers of skin, a decrease in intercellular lipids and diminished natural oil production. All these factors are vital elements in maintaining soft, supple, smooth skin. Without proper moisturization as part of a daily skin care regimen, these relatively minor issues may escalate into more serious skin conditions.
