Our skin tells a story, Our History!

Our skin care is structured in layers

  •  Epidermis (main function: protective barrier and melanin production);
  • Dermis (main function: elasticity, circulation, nerve tension);
  • Hypodermis (main function: thermal insulation and energy/fat storage)

In addition, the skin care includes cutaneous appendages such as hair, nails, sebaceous and sweat glands, which also play essential roles in protection and communication with the environment.

The Vital Functions of the Skin are:

  •  Protection against microorganisms, UV radiation, and external aggressions;
  • Thermal regulation (through sweat and circulation);
  • Sensation (touch, pain, temperature, pressure);
  • Production of vitamin D;
  • Excretion of substances through sweat glands.

Time, in conjunction with a range of external interactions, causes our skin care to undergo changes, sometimes severe, which can lead to cutaneous and subcutaneous pathologies, which require deeper and more complex treatments.

The main categories of this type of pathologies are:

Infectious diseases:

  1. Ringworm (tinea): caused by fungi, causes circular lesions and itching. 
  2. Impetigo: common bacterial infection in children, with yellowish crusts.
  3. Herpes zoster (shingles): reactivation of the chickenpox virus, with painful blisters.
  4. Scabies: caused by mites, causes intense itching and lesions.

Inflammatory Diseases:

  1. Atopic dermatitis (eczema): chronic inflammation with itching, redness, and dryness
  2. Seborrheic dermatitis: oily scaling, common on the scalp and face
  3. Psoriasis: thick, scaly patches, usually on the elbows, knees, and scalp
  4. Rosacea: persistent redness on the face, with dilated blood vessels and pustules

Autoimmune Diseases:

  1. Cutaneous lupus: red lesions in sun-exposed areas
  2. Bullous pemphigoid: large, painful blisters, more common in the elderly

Neoplastic diseases (tumors):

  1. Basal cell carcinoma: most common, slow growing
  2. Squamous cell carcinoma: can it spread?
  3. Melanoma: more aggressive, requires early diagnosis

Pigmentary Diseases:

  1. Melasma: dark spots on the face, associated with hormones and sun exposure
  2. Vitiligo: loss of pigmentation in areas of the skin care, forming white patches
  3. Age spots: hyperpigmentation related to age and sun exposure

Melasma, or Chronic Dermatitis, is characterized by the appearance of brownish spots, especially on the face, neck, chest and arms, although Melasma can be present all over the body.

What causes Melasma?

The main factor that triggers and aggravates, stimulating melanin production, is ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB). However, hormonal and genetic factors, as well as medications and cosmetics, can also induce increased melanin production, leading to hyperpigmentation, worsening the condition of melasma.

Spots, melasma, and the signs of aging don't define us. But we know they can affect how we feel. And that's why Melanopeel Cream exists. More than a gesture of self-care, Melanopeel Cream is an act of self-care and self-care!
