Dry skin is caused by damage to the skin's protective barrier which results in excessive water loss through the skin, leaving it feeling dry and rough. And also is caused by a reduction in the skin's water holding proteins (the proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

ProKera contains free glycolic acid. Not many other moisturizers do. The acid penetrates through the skin's outer protective shield (the stratum corneum layer), dissolving the adhesives that hold skin cells together. When you wash the next time, those adhesives let go, releasing the rough skin cells down the drain, leaving the new, softer, smoother layer of skin exposed to your touch. This process is called exfoliation.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and from sunlamps and tanning booths damages the skin and can lead to melanoma and other types of skin cancer Studies have suggested that reducing exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation decreases the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Ultraviolet radiation is the high-energy rays coming from the sun. Artificial sources such as tanning booths and sunlamps also produce ultraviolet radiation.

Professor Leigh: 'A lifestyle of safe sun avoidance. I'm not a killjoy: it doesn't mean you can't enjoy being outdoors - but it means adopting a more 'Mediterranean' lifestyle. If you go to the Med, the locals all have a snooze at lunch time and avoid the peak "danger" hours in the middle of the day.'

Professor Rankin: 'The key is to apply it liberally - an ounce is needed to cover the whole adult body - and not to rub it in too hard.'

Mineral oil has no nutritive value, it works as a “mosituriser” by leaving a film of oil on the skin which traps the moisture beneath it. Mineral oil is useful in make-up removers etc because it stays on the surface of the skin and it is not absorbed and can be wiped off. Vegetable oils, on the other hand, are nutritive to the skin. However “oils ain’t oils”.
