If everyone had a better, or even basic understanding of how the skin organ functions, and what it needs to function optimally, the skin care industry would look very different and so would your skin care products, routines, and habits.

Those with less than happy skin suffer from a wide range of issues, with feeling like their skin is persistently parched and dehydrated (what we call dry skin) being the number one complaint.

There’s a reason for this … feeling parched and dehydrated is the first sign that your skin is not happy. The vast majority of people I talk to in my store say “dry skin” is their top complaint. Eczema is next, and that’s directly a result of an impaired Acid Mantle too.

Learning about the skin organ can be a real game changer. Protecting and supporting our skin’s Acid Mantle (aka Moisture Barrier), minimizing damage to it, and how to repair this vital barrier when damage occurs.


Your Acid Mantle aka “Moisture Barrier”

You’ll find me discussing this feature of human skin everywhere here on my website, and when visiting me in my boutique. A strong intact Acid Mantle is the foundation of skin that feels good, looks its best, and performs optimally throughout our lives.

Care for the Acid Mantle of our skin is of the utmost importance when it comes to the long-term health of our skin organs. The Acid Mantle is also called the Moisture Barrier; a thin microfilm that covers your entire body.

The Acid Mantle performs many vital functions.

Very few people are aware of how easy it is to impair the Acid Mantle.

Our lifestyles and routines are very out of sync with the needs of our bodies’ largest organ.

There are simple things you can do to support the healthy long-term functioning of this vital organ .. this is where you start!
