Explore the intricate layers of the skin and the vital role played by the stratum corneum, the body’s protective shield. Dry skin often results from an impaired stratum corneum, affecting its ability to retain water. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), found in natural sources like lemon juice and apple cider vinegar, prove to be effective agents. By encouraging the shedding of dead skin cells and promoting the transit of new ones, AHAs contribute to the formation of a robust stratum corneum. This process ensures a healthy skin barrier, minimizing water loss and maintaining optimal hydration, vital for vibrant and moisturized skin.
