Natura Tododia is the number 1 brand in body moisturizers in Brazil, and innovates once again with a pioneering technology in how to care for your skin by bringing Prebiotic Nutrition into its formulas.
To arrive at these formulations, Natura Tododia studied deeply the mechanisms and types of hydration in the skin of the body. The skin is the largest organ of the human body and represents 10 to 12% of our weight; being the most exposed organ, our first line of defense is where we observe the greatest process of bodily aging, which is closely related to the hydration-dehydration balance. With this, we made three discoveries about the skin.
And our first discovery was: OUR SKIN IS NOT THE SAME THROUGHOUT THE BODY, meaning it has different needs in each region. The skin on our belly is different from that on our legs, which is different from our arms, and so on. We were also able to visualize the difference in the skin on our shins, where we experience more intense dryness due to greater exposure. On the other hand, the skin on our backs tends to be oilier due to the residue of products we use on our hair during bathing.
With this, we have different needs in each small part of our body.
The second discovery is that OUR SKIN CHANGES ALL THE TIME! With the interference of various internal and external factors, changes occur all the time. The main external factors include:
_Climate changes: in summer, our skin needs lighter and more refreshing hydration, while in winter, it needs more intense hydration because the skin suffers greater dehydration. This is also noticed when we change environments; for example, with air conditioning, our skin becomes drier. Climatic factors such as wind, cold, dry air, and heat favor the evaporation of superficial water from the epidermis.
_Chemical products: daily, we use detergents, cleaning products, and organic solvents that come into contact with our skin and solubilize the skin lipids, dragging away hygroscopic substances.
_Tattoos or scars: the skin becomes more sensitive due to the healing process, a tissue repair process that replaces damaged tissue with new tissue. After complete healing, this area also needs hydration every day due to the sensitization of the site.
As for the main internal factors, we can mention:
_Age: over time, our skin loses elasticity due to a reduction in the amount of fat and changes in the concentration of different constituents of the lipid film. The water content decreases, as do glucosaminoglycans and dermal electrolytes. The enzymatic activity of epithelial and dermal cells also decreases, increasing dehydration, resulting in skin that is flaccid, lacking vitality, and dry.
_Habits: factors such as not drinking water and not having a balanced diet also interfere with the hydration of your skin.
_Emotional state: one of the main emotional factors that harms the skin's hydration system is stress, as when we are stressed, blood flows more quickly to our vital organs, resulting in less blood supply to the skin, which leads to dull skin and slower regeneration.
And the third discovery is that OUR SKIN IS ALIVE AND UNIQUE.
Our skin is composed of various living microorganisms that inhabit our epidermis, known as MICROBIOTA. Each person has their own combination of living microorganisms, as it is like their DNA, their fingerprint; in other words, each person has their own. Therefore, there are not just 3 types of skin, but millions of types!
