Relief for rough and dry skin
THE haze has a negative impact not only on the health but also on the skin. In a desperate fight against the polluted air from the haze, dermatologists have made aware that air pollutants can infiltrate into the skin.
A possible result: Neurodermatitis can get worse. The pollutants contribute to more itching and damage the skin barrier. The right use of skin care can help and protect.
The skin has a size of about two square metres. Therefore, it provides a large surface for attack. With increased pollution, extra protection is definitely needed.
Daily washing can help to remove the pollutants but excessive cleaning or long exposure to air-conditioners may impair the skin barrier function, which is the decisive factor.
When the skin barrier is broken, and moisture is lost; that is when the skin gets dry and itchy. If this condition is left unattended, it gives way to toxin or even pathogenic microorganism to penetrate the skin layer and causes inflammation and later, infection.
Linoleic acid: Essential for skin regeneration
When the skin feels tight and itchy, a natural restorative agent or linoleic acid, can help regenerate the protective layers of skin.
Unfortunately, the human body does not produce linoleic acid; that is why it must be supplied from the outside using linoleic acid containing body lotion or oil, such as Linola Lotion.
It contains exactly the linoleic acids that help to seal the damaged lipid structures of the skin barrier. The rough skin becomes soft and supple again.
Linola Lotion was formulated by Dr August Wolff, a pharmacist in Germany, in 1937. Not only is he the inventor of drugs, he conducted studies in search of a solution to dry skin. Results showed that the constant supply of linoleic acid onto our skin helps repair the protective skin layers naturally and seal the moisture within.
Do pay attention to signs and symptoms of dry skin, such as peeling or itchiness at the shins. Daily usage of Linola Lotion helps to protect, regenerate and relieve dry skin such as eczema.
In the event of a skin flare-up, as suggested by most pharmacists, it is not suggested to take drugs or apply anti-inflammatory creams before the basic therapy, such as applying a sufficient amount of lotion every day. Not only are drugs not helpful, overuse might result in unwanted side effects.
Linola Lotion is a tried and tested by Malaysians who are convinced about the efficacy. Over 98% agree that Linola Lotion relieves dry skin instantly*.
