FOR SKIN ANALYSIS
THE STRUCTURE OF THE SKIN

Seen from the outside, your skin is like a fabric that covers your body. Unlike a sweater, the skin has layers that we only see in the cross section of the skin:

The epidermis : It covers the body and protects it from external influences. These include, among other things, UV rays and bacteria. The body's own protective acid mantle lies on the epidermis, which protects your skin from drying out and is stabilized by the sebum and sweat glands.

The dermis : Here you will find fine blood vessels, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, hair follicles and also nerve tissue. The dermis contains connective tissue, which consists of collagen and elastin - giving the skin stability and elasticity.

The subcutaneous tissue - hypodermis, or subcutaneous tissue: The subcutaneous tissue consists to a large extent of fatty tissue and is therefore an important energy store, the thickness of which varies depending on the person. The hypodermis protects your body from cold and mechanical influences such as pressure or friction.

The smaller but still important components of the skin include:

Sebaceous glands: They produce sebum, also called sebum. This consists of fatty acids, waxes, squalane and triclycerides. The sebum ensures that your skin does not dry out and is protected against germs. When there is an overproduction of sebum (soborrhoea), people tend to have oily skin, and when there is an underactive condition (sebastasis), they tend to have dry skin.

Sweat glands: Your body has a lot of them - there are around 2 million sweat glands in your skin. Sweat regulates your body temperature and even though it can sometimes smell unpleasant, it consists almost entirely of water. Only 1 percent goes to a mixture that consists of, among other things, ammonia and urea as well as milk, amino and fatty acids.

The sebum and sweat glands have an important function in combination: they regulate the protective layer that surrounds your skin. This ultra-thin film on the skin has something special: it prevents moisture from evaporating from the skin and keeps harmful bacteria and other particles away from the inside of your skin.

WHAT FUNCTION DOES THE SKIN HAVE?

Skin can do more than just look beautiful: it covers your body and protects it from the outside world. Without skin, your organs and bones would be exposed - and therefore defenseless against danger.

But your skin is also a sensory organ with countless nerves. This tells you what is happening around you and how warm or cold it is.

As a storage organ, your skin binds moisture and important fats. This means it can nourish your body, but above all also protect it: from cold, shocks and other physical influences

But what we mustn't forget is that skin is sexy. Not only does it visually help you find a partner, but it also makes you irresistible through your sweat glands. Let them out, the pheromones!

WHAT INFLUENCES DETERMINE YOUR SKIN HEALTH?

Yes, skin care is an important topic and cosmetics can help you achieve a good balance. A good skin cream, a mild facial cleanser or a well-formulated anti-aging cream are indispensable influencing factors - but not the only ones.

There are internal and external factors that influence the condition and health of your skin. You can control and determine most of these yourself.

The most important factors influencing your skin health include:

Genes, age, hormones, UV radiation, temperature, humidity, environmental toxins, diet, drug use, sleep and exercise.

Exceptional and classy.

MICHAEL B.

Received, unpacked and tested immediately; Just a dream. I love The concept. Great quality, a cream that is tailored exactly to my needs and very effective. I noticed the first improvements after just one week: softer, smooth skin, fewer wrinkles in the morning and fewer pimples in the forehead area. Thanks, will definitely order again.

My dermatologist advised me to do more for my mature skin. I came across Sober on the Internet. I have been using the Hydra Defense face cream for 2 months. With success! I'm very satisfied. Thanks!

High quality goods

Timeshift Anti-Aging Serum - A great product for daily skin care. The serum has a pleasant smell, perhaps due to the green tea extract it contains. I have applied it daily and it feels very comfortable on the skin. Great product and would be happy again...

Best facewash I have ever used

Ernest H.

Risking to sound too overexcited, this is really the best I've tried! My skin feels very soft even after the first use, and the effect never disappoints. Redness has improved considerably; pores, too. Additionally to daily cleaning, once a week I leave it on my skin for a few minutes, and I can feel a good but gentle peeling effect. Simply everything is nice about it, including packaging, look, smell etc. One small space for improvement: the dispenser sometimes chokes or gives out very little, but it recovers after another push.
