Dry skin

Sound familiar?

Your skin feels tight, after a shower it's completely different, sometimes it peels on your ankles or forearms, and the cream you bought last week seems to disappear into nothing within an hour.

Perhaps a few years ago you didn't even need to moisturize your whole body. Now, even the care that worked last year barely lasts for a short while. It's not your fault or bad skincare – your skin loses water faster than it can retain it because it doesn't have enough of its own lipids to "seal" it in.

What science says about it

• Up to 85% of people over 50 struggle with this, and almost everyone in nursing homes (99%).
• The older we get, the fewer lipids the body produces on its own – and the stratum corneum, the uppermost layer of the skin, stops holding water as it should.
• Babies have the same problem, for a different reason – their skin barrier is still immature.
• For women around forty, a hormonal component is added: declining estrogen further reduces the skin's ability to retain lipids and water, so dryness comes sooner and more intensely.

Solution

A classic moisturizing cream often only postpones the problem – it's mainly water-based, with a little oil, an emulsifier, and a preservative. It gives a feeling of hydration for a few hours, the water evaporates, and you're back to square one.

Bohemian Night is built differently: no water, only bioidentical lipids from organic beef tallow, which the skin can use immediately.

Moreover, the stearic acid in it is not just "similar" to what the skin produces itself; it is directly the raw material that an enzyme in the skin uses to produce its own ceramides. We are not giving the skin a temporary layer on top, but material from which it rebuilds its own protection.

Try Bohemian Night – an evening ritual that returns to the skin what it naturally loses.
