Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is the loss of water from the stratum corneum.  And it’s one of the major factors responsible for dry, scaly skin and irritant dermatitis.

Shedding of skin is a process call desquamation. In normal skin, the whole epidermis is replace in about 42 days and for the stratum corneum alone in about 14 days.

Our stratum corneum contains free amino acids, and other nature occurring chemical lactic acid, urea, and sodium PCA, etc.  These are called “natural moisturizing factors” and are responsible for keeping the skin moist and pliable by attracting and holding water.

Skin is the organ that protect us from the environment.  It is our widest organ with a weight of about 4 kg and 1.8 m2 surface. It prevents dehydration, stop harmful materials from penetrating into our body, helps maintain our body temperature, and act as a cushions against mechanical shock. Our skin is a living organism, therefore it goes through an aging process and under constant renewal. As we aged, its functionality also decreased.

If there’s one thing I can tell you that will make the biggest difference in your acne treatment or taking care of your skin …that will be choosing the right cleanser.  The right cleanser is one that won’t alter our skin pH or damage our skin barrier.

L.M. is a long time customer of mine.  It’s incredible to read her testimonial for YOU Skincare! Reading and seeing people’s skin health improved gives me joy.  This is why I do what I do and why I never give up no matter how many obstacles came my way! This truly validates my belief that healthy skin can be achieved by being gentle with your skin.  

People often associate acne with teenage hormones, but in my experience it’s a combination of skincare products, diet, hormone, and stress. Your body is a well-oiled machine. We have to feed it the right oil and perform periodic maintenance if we want it to stay healthy for a long time. We have only one skin, one body so we need to take good care of it! If you invest in your health you will be the one reaping the rewards.
Here's my story of my acne journey and how I end up creating YOU Skincare!

Hi Everyone!

I’m so excited to announce that we’re official on the web (www.youskincare.us) and we have a new look! I want to thank all of you for your support and patience. From the beginning, I wanted to create a product that is not only effective but enjoyable also. Skincare is self care after all ;) That’s the reason I worked so hard to bring you the new packaging.

You placed your trust in me and my products to help improve your skin’s health and I won’t take that for grant. Running a business is hard especially for one person but I can promise you that the reason I start on this journey will never change. I want to share my creations so it can help others who suffer from acne like me. There will be many more challenges lie ahead but I’m excite to face them. I hope I can continue to count on your support ^ _ ^

It’s hard enough to run a business, it’s even harder to do it by yourself. That’s where I am right now. It’s just me from the formulation to the final products. I love all the aspects of it and wouldn’t do it any other way. I’m a perfectionist so I like to be hand on anyway lol. All the funding for the business come out from my own pocket. I am focus on finding the best raw materials and packaging so I can make the most effective products for you that’s why I have no fund for marketing. I hope you can help me to spread the words far and wide!!

I haven’t stop formulating and I have several products in the works! Hopefully I can share them with you soon :)
