Understanding Unbalanced Skin: Why Sticky and Flaky?
The perplexing condition of skin being simultaneously sticky and flaky arises from a compromised skin barrier. When your skin’s natural protective barrier is weakened, it struggles to retain moisture within the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin. This moisture imbalance leads to surface dryness and irritation, while simultaneously, the skin may overproduce sebum as a compensatory mechanism. This excess sebum can clog pores, creating a breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria. The result is a complexion that feels congested and oily in some areas, yet dry and peeling in others – a truly unbalanced state.
The Shiseido d Program Approach: Restoring Equilibrium
Shiseido’s d program Balance Care Emulsion is specifically designed to target the root causes of unbalanced skin. It provides comprehensive care focused on:
- Moisture and Sebum Balance: The emulsion works to replenish essential hydration while regulating sebum production, bringing your skin back to a healthy equilibrium.
- Acne and Irritation Prevention: By strengthening the skin barrier and maintaining a healthy moisture balance, it helps prevent clogged pores and reduces the likelihood of acne breakouts and skin irritation.
- Improved Skin Texture and Minimized Pores: Consistent use of the emulsion helps refine skin texture, making it smoother and more even. It also minimizes the appearance of pores, contributing to a clearer and more refined complexion.
