Your skin is showing... what is it telling you? Seeing the skin through Observ eyes illuminates what the naked eye does not see. The potential to read images in great detail and confirm identifying hallmarks brings the entire process of diagnostic skin assessment to a new level.

Subclinical observations of the skin cannot always be determined and are, therefore, idiopathic. Individuals with a history of skin sensitivities should always be evaluated carefully at each visit. The message? Never take the skin at face value - our eyes cannot determine what may be manifesting through the CNS and neurodermetic conditions. Want to learn more?

Experiencing winter skin woes? Dryness, itching and tightness? Time to adjust the products you use on your eyes, face, lips, hands, arms, legs, and feet. Due to increased home heating, colder temperatures, and low humidity, we experience TEWL (transepidermal water loss). Low temperatures and decreased humidity lead to alterations in skin barrier function and an increased potential for dermatitis. Inflammatory responses activate cytokines and cortisol, prompting an influx of mast cell responses. In turn, the skin becomes more reactive to allergens and irritants. Inefficient barrier protection increases TEWL, and alterations in the skin microbiome increase skin barrier health instability. Naturophoria focuses on skin barrier health and offers head-to-toe skin support and solutions for winter skin concerns.

The Skin & the Microbiome : A physiological understanding of the skin microbiome is necessary to gain insight into microbial involvement into skin disorders - as the colonization of the microbiome is influenced by the skin’s surface ecology. Since the microbiome is a major contributor to normal cutaneous immune system function, it is subject to imbalances of skin microorganisms, which can and are associated with skin pathologies. Dysbiosis (also referred to as dysbacteriosis) refers to a microbial imbalance or maladaptation of the flora on or inside the body and may be attributed to exogenous and endogenous factors. There is a vast complexity of circumstances surrounding the development of skin disorders and and in particular - acne and the many sub-types of acniform presentations.The relationship of acne, sebum and the microbiome is also a complex synergistic relationship. It is not always clearly determined whether an imbalance in the composition of the skin microbiome leads to pathologies of the skin - or whether underlying host factors or pathologies result in skin microbiome dysbiosis. Profoundly - it is also more complicated than the discontinuance of foods such as dairy, sugar or gluten components - as each composition of the internal flora and microbiota is unique to each individual, and biomarkers should be ascertained. Additionally, an abnormal barrier and an elevated surface pH are universal characteristics of almost all inflammatory skin disorders, including all presentations of the adult eczemas, psoriasis, and related cornification disorders.

What's in your skin care products? 💫Biomimicry describes innovations inspired by nature. It involves the evaluation and interpretation of natural phenomena, evolutionary processes, and climatic considerations. These concepts are evaluated and considered for adaptations in product formulation. The term biomimicry used in the laboratory setting refers to highly technological extraction techniques that preserve the entire plant profile including all components and actives of a plant.

🌿 The biomimetic concept is much aligned with the spagyric distillation process employed in traditional herbalism for centuries. The process does not damage the plant's bio-matrix and preserves the integrity of the plant’s attributes. Biomimicry will not macerate or use decomposing plant materials, guaranteeing that the point of extraction happens during the most optimum time of the plant’s life cycle, which maintains the stability and integrity of the phytocompounds. This creates a synergistic relationship between the plant’s compounds at a cellular level while accommodating for individual skin needs. 🦠

At Naturophoria - we focus on the synergism of ingredients, products, protocols and treatment to help support functional aspects of skin health and wellness.

Our primary focus is the resolution of skin barrier alterations caused by product incompatibility by ingredients that compromise the biological integrity of the microbiome, lipid matrix and stratum corneum. These are primary considerations that lend to the development of the majority of skin concerns .
