Anthea Turner Instagram – My body, feet, and hands are doing a happy dance they’re so hydrated. I know we’re all covered up in the winter but it’s still vitally important to protect your skin and BODY 3 does the job brilliantly. I’m so proud BODY 3 and this is why. 1 – It’s WATERLESS 💦 so doesn’t need to contain any emulsifiers used to bond the water and oil together. You might say “so what?” But by doing their job in the pot they remain on your skin and wreak havoc with your natural barrier oils which we need to preserve. Emulsifiers are used in washing up liquid blending the grease with water to help strip everything clean. So if they are in a skin products, the reality is you’re putting an oil on that’s stripping off at the same time! 2 – If a product contains ‘Aqua’ it has to have antimicrobial preservatives to prevent dangerous bacteria from growing in the water, their technical name is Biocides and their remit is to kill cells, but in doing that they also damage your skins natural protective microbiome 🦠 Quick Skin Biology Lesson.

It’s a barrier that protects you from damage in the form of sun (ultraviolet) harmful chemicals, bacteria, viruses and general environmental stress. Your job, as its owner, is to look after it – Shield it from the sun, hydrate it from inside, and treat it kindly with a ‘clean’ emollient from the outside. By doing this, not only will your skin tone look healthier, ‘Old Epie’ your best friend, can work efficiently at being ‘Iron Man’ – How does that sound? 💪 The Dermis.
