The Science of Skin Care
The epidermis is made up of 5 sublayers. Starting from the outside and working in, there is
the stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum
germinativum or basal layer.
the stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum
germinativum or basal layer.
Your skin is made of 3 primary layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous.
The basal layer of the epidermis is where your skin produces melanin. Melanin is a brown
pigment that gives your skin color. When stimulated by ultraviolet light or other inflammatory
stimuli, your skin produces more melanin. From a medical point of view, the extra melanin is
used to protect your DNA, thereby helping to prevent skin cancer and premature aging.
However, over-exposure to ultraviolet light may cause skin cancer and pre-mature aging.
From a cosmetic point of view, accumulations of melanin become unsightly brown spots and
are referred to as hyperpigmentation. There are products available to help fade existing
areas of hyperpigmentation and inhibit new areas from forming, thus resulting in a more
even-colored, younger-looking complexion.

Clogged pores are partly due to a condition called retention hyperkeratosis whereby the
pores become clogged with dead skin cells and oil (sebum) which can lead to blemishes
such as blackheads, pimples, and/or cysts. Help eliminate dead skin cell buildup and oil and
provide antibacterial and immune-stimulating ingredients to help keep your skin healthy and
blemish-free.

When your skin looks dry and dull it is often due to an accumulation of dead skin cells from
the stratum corneum. By eliminating this dead skin cell buildup and providing the
nourishment your skin needs, your skin will look and feel younger, healthier, hydrated, and
radiant.

The stratum corneum consists of tightly packed, scalelike cells which are continually being
exfoliated and replaced. The stratum lucidum consists of small, transparent cells through
which light can pass. The stratum lucidum is only present on the palms of the hands and
soles of the feet. The stratum granulosum consists of cells that look like distinct granules.
The stratum spinosum is often classified with the stratum germinativum to form the basal
layer. The stratum germinativum is composed of a single layer of cells. The stratum
germinativum (basal layer) is responsible for the growth of the epidermis and is where your
skin produces melanin.

Underneath the epidermis is the dermis. Unlike the epidermis, which is made mostly of cells,
the dermis is comprised primarily of connective tissue fibers called collagen and elastin.
This strong network actually supports the epidermis. Through its many blood vessels, the
dermis also nourishes the epidermis. Collagen is what keeps your skin plump and
wrinkle-free. Elastin is what provides elasticity to keep your skin firm. Fibroblasts synthesize
collagen and elastin. As you age, fibroblasts diminish in size, slow in metabolic activity and
have a low turnover rate. If you damage your skin with sun exposure, the fibroblasts often
grow erratically large and produce defective collagen. Aging and sunlight also have a direct
effect on collagen and elastin by causing them to break down leading to early signs of
aging. Proper skin care can helps fibroblasts begin to produce new, healthy collagen and
elastin in the dermis improving skin firmness and diminishing wrinkles.
