This is driven by dysbiosis. This\u003cbr\u003edysbiosis sends immune cells to areas that don't actually have anything wrong- this is where we\u003cbr\u003esee lots of inflammation occur. This inflammatory environment breeds proinflammatory microbes\u003cbr\u003ethat erode the skin barrier. We can do all the work we want to the barrier but without addressing\u003cbr\u003ethe reason for why it's being eroded, all the work we are doing for the barrier is just being acted\u003cbr\u003eagainst by the microbes. SIV helps to stop this erosion and gives your body the tools to actually\u003cbr\u003erebuild the barrier. This will reduce the inflammation, burning sensation, and dehydration.\u003cbr\u003eStart with using 1x a day and work up to 2.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"14\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAging\/longevity:\u003cbr\u003eAs we age, the skin's environment goes from more sebaceous to more dry. This newly dry\u003cbr\u003eenvironment breeds different, more drying bacteria. This bacteria erodes the barrier (resulting in\u003cbr\u003eTEWL\/ dehydration), and also reduces melanocyte function, which is why we start to see age\u003cbr\u003espots. VISIA scans done with SIV have shown the ability to reduce age spots, UV damage, and\u003cbr\u003ealso improve the functioning of skin.
