Some of you were shocked (and horrified when I showed you a photo), to learn that your skin has mites. Remembering that your skin is an organ. It has a living breathing ecosystem and has mites, micro organisms, bacterias and much more. Having all of these is harmony is so important for a healthy functioning skin because if any of this is out of whack, your skin will show the signs of it.
For example Demodex mites, your skin naturally has Demodex mites and this is completely normal.
These microscopic mites live in your hair follicles and sebaceous glands, and in healthy skin, they usually exist in harmony with your skin’s ecosystem.
However, when the skin barrier becomes compromised, Demodex can multiply and contribute to:
• Sensitivity
• Redness
• Congestion
• Rosacea-like symptoms
• Inflammation
•Breakouts
This is why at A’Veen, we focus so strongly on strengthening the skin barrier and supporting a healthy microbiome and not aggressively stripping the skin.
Because healthy skin isn’t about removing everything…It’s about balance.
When we support the skins eco system correctly, the skin functions better. We treat many other things with more respect than the skin, making sure your feeling it with the right things.. your car for instance. Yet skin is the largest organ in the body, your first line of defence and the thing people see first, but people often don't treat it accordingly and constantly strip it away until it becomes so compromised they start to see problems arise. Once this happens, this is not a quick fix because you didn't destroy your barrier overnight, you can't expect to fix it overnight.
