Did you know that about 70% of what goes on the skin can go into the body and enter the blood stream very quickly? When you look at a stat like that, it hard to understand why we take our skin for granted…but we do (even I – a skin care professional – do sometimes).

As rates of eczema and the other related disorders like asthma and allergies keep sky-rocketing, skin permeability and its role in immunity becomes increasingly important to understand, address, and protect. The good news is we have the ability to reduce the chaos, improve health and work against environmentally related skin damage through education, awareness and by leveraging skin care as healthcare!
