The article below featuring Epionce was provided by Melynda Barham, one of our Master Estheticians at SkinStore. When you talk with us, you talk with the experts in beauty and skincare products.

Skin Barrier 101

The stratum corneum, otherwise known as the skin barrier, is simply the uppermost layer of the skin. This layer of the skin consists of dead skin cells that are held together by water and lipids, which are the skin's own natural oils. Think of your skin cells like bricks and lipids as the mortar. Lipids are specifically constructed of cholesterol, ceramides and fatty acids. These natural oils are the skins bodyguard to lock in moisture and provide protection from external aggressors, like harmful UV rays. A balanced skin barrier is key to activating our skin's natural ability to heal itself and to combat complexion issues including blemishes and wrinkles.

Believe it or not, most skin issues are more than likely caused by a compromised skin barrier. Just like mortar that is not mixed properly, a weakened skin barrier can develop cracks that allow moisture to evaporate and irritants to come in. An impaired barrier can lead to a multitude of issues including redness, roughness, and breakouts, and the long-term effects can lead to premature aging, sagging, and wrinkles.

How to Protect Your Skin's Barrier with Epionce

Simply put, the barrier works to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. To keep our skins barrier in optimum condition, it’s imperative to use nourishing ingredients that work with our skin's own defensive mechanisms. Use products that not only work to moisturize but also work to balance our skin's natural oils (lipids). Avoid over exfoliating and using harsh skincare products that can strip your skin. Consider for barrier friendly ingredients like avocado, safflower and meadow foam which are rich in essential nutrients that are like the skin's own natural lipids.

The Epionce Approach: Healthy Means Beautiful

Because of the importance of a healthy skin barrier, Epionce has developed products that provide the skin with the perfect ratio of its natural lipids to trigger the rejuvenation of the skin. Epionce is formulated with botanical ingredients of multifunctional antioxidants along with barrier boosting cholesterol, ceramide and fatty acid to improve the health and appearance of the skin. Rest assured these formulations are highly effective yet gentle enough to not irritate the skin or cause unnecessary dryness. Unlike many other products on the market, Epionce products are paraben, fragrance, sulfate and gluten free.

With so many of us being conscious consumers, we want to purchase high quality products from a brand we can trust. By using the highest clinical study standards in the physician- strength skin care market, Epionce has become a highly proven brand trusted by physicians for 15 years. I also love that the brand's clinical studies are only tested on human volunteers, and does not utilize animal testing.

Epionce Products for a Barrier Boost

Fact: A healthy skin barrier appears more youthful and radiant. As more women are understanding that the health of your skin affects the overall appearance, it's never too early to start supporting your skin's barrier. Epionce products have been clinically proven against leading products to improve the visible appearance of:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Dark spots and discoloration
  • Rough and uneven texture
  • Dry and scaly skin
  • Blemished and problem skin
  • Clarity and Radiance

For optimum barrier health, consider using these three signature Epionce products to provide skin with the perfect ratio of natural lipids.

Renewal Facial Lotion

A lightweight formulation for normal to combination skin types, expertly created to improve clarity and radiance for healthier looking skin. The active complexes in this formula help reverse visible signs of aging as well as the addition of hydrating ingredients to visibly smooth and tighten the skin.

Renewal Eye Cream

 This moisturizing must have, helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the delicate eye area. Not only is this formulated to compliment use of eye makeup, it also uses soft-focus technology to scatter and diffuse visible light, helping reduce the visible appearance of dark circles and puffiness.

Enriched Body Cream

This rich, hydrating cream provides both instant and long-lasting hydration to soften and smooth the skin. Renewal technology encourages healthier skin and the body butter consistency makes it ideal for daily use. This formulation provides maximum hydration for those extra dry areas on the hands, feet and elbows, helping the skin appear resilient and supple.
