How Chimal Skin Shield Works

layers that make up your skin |

The outer layer of skin consists of dead skin cells which protect the
delicate living cells of the deeper layers beneath. This outer layer needs
to stay moisturized in order to protect the deeper layers of skin. To
keep the moisture (water) from leaving the outer layer, your skin produces
natural oils. These oils also help keep irritants from the deeper layers
of skin. Regular washing with soap, or exposure to chemicals, can remove
these natural oils.
When the natural oil is stripped from the outer layer, moisture quickly
leaves the skin dry, irritated, and itchy. Worse, the deeper layers of
skin are now left exposed to harsh damaging irritants such as detergents,
solvents, cleaners, paint and thinners, gardening chemicals, dirt and
grease, latex gloves and powder, etc. This results in more dry, irritated,
and itchy skin that becomes chapped, cracked and damaged.
Skin lotions only replace natural oils with artificial ones. These only
offer temporary relief that does little to heal the skin. Regular use
of lotions can actually cause the skin to produce less natural oils. Instead
of attempting to replace these natural oils, chimal forms a web, or bond,
with the outer layer of dead skin cells. Thus Chimal Skin Shield helps reduce the
natural oil and moisture loss, allowing the skin to heal itself. The Chimal Skin Shield helps the outer layer keep its natural oils and moisturizers
that protect the deeper layers of skin, leaving skin soft and supple.
The Chimal Skin Shield keeps the outer layer of skin functioning
so well it can breathe and perspire naturally. Because chimal becomes
part of the outer layer of skin, it cannot be washed off like conventional
lotions. It comes off naturally with exfoliating skin cells. For continued
protection, just reapply every 3-4 hours.
