Keeping Skin Moist During 24 Hours

The skin is the outermost and most beautiful accessories from the body, so it looks a whole should not be underestimated. Skin soft, smooth, and moist is appearance key.

In tropical moisture apparently the problem is still an issue. Sunlight, exposure to air conditioning, aging, unhealthy diet to be one of the factors that cause dry skin. These factors are also called external factor. Meanwhile, internal factors that affect the skin moisture is water. If the body is deprived of water the water inside the skin cells will be reduced.

Durability and function of the enzyme was decreased, the structure of the stratum corneum less, so the skin becomes dry and rough. Keep in mind about a third of the water in the body is under the skin. The deeper layers, the higher the water content. Therefore, if adequate supply of water in the body, water can be transported through the blood vessels to the upper skin layer. Air-water flow between cells through tiny channels known as aquaporin.

In a cell can consist of 200,000 aquaporin. The more numerous the more established channels for water transport in the cell so that moisture is maintained. That is why, despite our drinking water intake is sufficient but if the number of aquaporin in a little leather, dry and scaly skin will still be approached.

According Dr.Christopher mummert, group manager of regional development Beiersdorf AG Hamburg, skin moisturizing products on the market condition the skin in two ways, namely bind and keep the water on the skin surface, and form a barrier to reduce evaporation of water. Two of these principles does not guarantee the water spread evenly in all cells of the skin because there is no channel that keeps water flowing between the cell membrane. In addition it requires the use of a moisturizer such as repetition, whereas Asians are easily irritated skin.

Should not retain moisture in the skin layer just above it, but in all layers of the epidermis, the most important fact is to multiply throughout the aquaporin water that enters the cell so scattered in all directions so that more water is bound and more water flow to the skin area that is not balanced.

Starting from an understanding of aquaporin function of moisture which was first discovered by Professor Peter Agre in 2002, scientists at Beiersdorf, Germany, via Nivea products for 7 years doing research and found that Hydra IQ can increase aquaporin in the skin.

Hydra IQ is a breakthrough because it can stimulate the formation of a new aquaporin. Research also shows that given the skin moist hydra IQ more intense even in the top layer of skin. Do not even need to be oiled skin moisturizer repeatedly.

IQ hydra molecule is similar to skin a natural part of the glucose and glycerol, which is found naturally found in blue green algae. Such as algae growth that can keep the water level is even living in extreme climates, such as Hydra's IQ keep our skin moist.
