Lotion and skincare science
The Biochemical Reasons Your Skin Acts Like It Does
Lotion and skincare science can unlock the secrets behind your skin. Your body is complex and it always has lots of complicated reactions going on. It’s easier to take control of your health journey when you learn why your body reacts in certain ways.
Understanding your skin means going back to chemistry class. And biology class. And some more advanced versions of each of those. (Molecular and cellular biology, anyone? Organic chemistry? Microbiology?) But it’s not as hard as you might think. We break everything down to its smallest parts without wasting time on things you don’t need to know. And there are pictures. Plenty of pictures.
