Advanced Nutrition Programme

Normal, healthy skin is coated in a thin layer of natural lipids or fatty substances called our Acid Mantle, the skin’s barrier to the outside world. They keep in moisture leaving the skin soft and supple. The environment, health conditions, menopause, genes or harsh products can strip away these fatty oils, leaving the skin unprotected and compromised.

Main causes are harsh environments that strip away the fatty acid and essential oils from the skin, leaving it unprotected. It can also be caused by external and internal factors including cold weather, low humidity, central heating, age, health, genetics and medical conditions.
