Our lifestyle affects our skin. That's no secret. Most women – and by now many men – have daily skincare routines where the skin is cleansed, moisturised, and nourished.
Your skin consists of three interconnected layers:
- The outermost layer is the epidermis, where new skin cells are formed
- The middle layer is the dermis, which consists of connective tissue
- The innermost layer is the hypodermis, which is a layer of fat
In the epidermis, cells produce lipids, among other things. These lipids settle between the cells and form a barrier, preventing water from evaporating from the deeper layers of the skin. This is called the skin's natural lipid barrier, and it's what prevents your skin from drying out. With age, the natural production of lipids between cells decreases, and as the fat layer in the hypodermis also diminishes, the skin dries out faster and becomes both looser and more wrinkled.
In the dermis, two important natural fibres, collagen and elastin, are formed. Collagen's function is to strengthen and support your skin. Elastin's function is to make your skin elastic. However, from the age of 25, your skin doesn't produce collagen and elastin as quickly, and therefore, the skin gradually loses some of its strength and suppleness.
This is most evident on skin that has been exposed to sunlight. UV rays also contribute to the breakdown of collagen and elastin. If you want to avoid more wrinkles than necessary, you should protect your skin with sunscreen when you are in the sun.
The dermis also contains sebaceous glands, which produce sebum, an oily substance. Sebaceous glands are mostly found on the scalp, face, chest, and shoulders, where sebum helps to lubricate skin and hair. Sebaceous glands are not found on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Sebum helps prevent the skin from becoming dry. With age, sebum production also decreases, making the skin drier.
The first small signs of aging appear as fine lines around the eyes, and from your mid-20s to mid-30s, you can prevent them by giving your skin plenty of moisture. Additionally, it is extremely important to cleanse your skin with Face Wash and Skin Tonic – both morning and evening – to remove make-up, dirt, and impurities, as this will benefit your skin later in life. Invest in a good moisturising Face Serum, a protective Eye Serum, and a nourishing and moisturising day cream.
We have once again explored the Nordic nature – nature's treasure trove – and found the best herbs, plants, and flowers to develop a new product.
Meet Raunsborg® Anti-Age Night Cream
The best of science, the best of nature
Inspired by the knowledge from Flora Danica, we have created an Anti-Age Night Cream Face, Neck & Décolleté with active ingredients that firm and delay the natural signs of skin aging, while the cream helps combat pigment spots.
Produced in our modern factory in Assens, inspired by Nordic nature. Our new anti-age cream utilises the best of both worlds. We always delve deep into Flora Danica and take long walks in nature. Jim smells the forest floor, the many plants, flowers, and herbs... and that's how we know if we can create a unique product.
Our new 3-in-1 cream has age-preventing properties and contains, among other things...
-
... kale extracts, which have a nourishing effect,
-
rice oil, which regenerates the skin and fights signs of aging,
-
white truffle, which ensures that the skin does not lose its strength and maintains its natural moisture balance for up to 72 hours.
One of the first places where we experience signs of aging is the neck and décolleté area. Therefore, you should care for this area by moisturising and nourishing it. You can do this with our new cream, making it a natural extension of our anti-age series... but beauty does not only come from the outside.
Beauty also comes from within
Beauty is a broad concept. For many, it's only about the exterior; how we look. For us, beauty is also about the interior. We believe that beauty comes both from within and without. Together with our dietary supplement, SKIN PERFECTION, you can nourish your skin from the inside out.
SKIN PERFECTION contains Vitamin C, which contributes to the normal formation of collagen. This is important for normally functioning blood vessels. Additionally, Vitamin C also helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
SKIN PERFECTION and Anti-Age Night Cream Face, Neck & Décolleté therefore complete our anti-age series.
Remember, your skin needs to last a lifetime. It changes constantly. Therefore, you need to take good care of it. The best thing you can do is to provide nourishment and moisture. Every day.
