Exploring the Science Behind Skin Care

We all want to know the science behind skin care. Unfortunately, a lot of brands will try to distract from the science with trends and buzz words. On the other side, we at Metrin Skincare actually want you to know the science behind the skin care, because it is what we are passionate about. Skin care can be complicated. Better understanding the science behind it can be your friend in knowing how it works. The effectiveness of any good skin care regimen is about how it improves the skin’s functions naturally operate. Any key skin care and formulations can help make your skin work better.

We are living in an age of “skintellectualism“ where consumers are much more savvy about skin care while also taking an investigative approach to routines. At METRIN, we strive for transparency and encourage a greater understanding of both how the skin’s natural functions work, but also, how certain ingredients specially formulated affect those function through every day, regular use.

By understanding the skin and ingredients, you can better understand the sometimes complex workings of skin care.

At-Home Experimentation

In many ways, skin care is all about a natural at-home experimentation. Through research, product trials, and your own observations, consumers are essentially experimenting on themselves.

Since skin care is not heavily regulated like drugs or other health products, research information or academic studies about ingredients and chemical compound is not as prevalent as it should be and customers rely on their own research and resources.

Walking down a skin care aisle of your local drug store can be an overwhelming experience of confusion. Recommendations or online resources can also be overwhelming. Resources like the subreddit r/SkincareAddiction forum that’s actually moderated by scientists and can provide useful context.

Furthermore, daily skin care is becoming a welcoming entry point for science in general, especially for young women. Skin care as constant experimentation can fuel discovery and curiosity.

Trial & Error

The best and most reliable method of testing any product is, of course, trying it out for yourself and monitoring your progress. Trying a product and observing its results over time is a big part of any scientific trial and a reliable method of validating consumer products if done right.

The best way to know if it works is by trying it out for yourself or trusting a testimonial from one who’s already tried it. There’s a lack of available public scientific resources which means skin care enthusiasts much put together their own sources for reliable skin care advice.

When trying out any new skin care products, remember our skin’s natural renewal cycle is about 4 to 6 weeks so after that you should have an idea of any new products’ effectiveness.

Understanding the Facts

Unfortunately, skin care can more often be about what’s sexy and shiny marketing that distracts from the real work of improving the health of the body’s largest organ. It’s essential to understand the skin’s functions, how ingredients work, and how combinations or routines factor into the totality of skin care.

In part, the wave of skintellectualism continues due to demand from consumers and customers looking for reliable skin care info. When you are doing your research, take note of scientific processes that explain the products you’re trying out and what purpose they serve. Sometimes, dubious marketing can take advantage of consumer confusion to misinform the public about certain ingredients. This is when scientific research and trials can really come in handy.

With so much of skin care being drowned out by buzzworthy trends or new ingredients, science is needed to put any (mis)information into context. Skin care can be a large investment of time and money so demand for reliable sources continues to be a check on the industry to sort through the hype.

Making Sense of Skin Care

Ultimately, understanding skin care is about making sense of information and sometimes complicated routines or product instructions.

Skin care tows the line between health and beauty where the science of it all can easily be forgotten. Skin care, after all, is often more synonymous with celebrities than science.

Because skin care is largely unregulated, at-home trials can replicate scientific principles in making sure consumers find the results they are looking for.

We’ve discussed skin care’s role beyond health or beauty as self-care and ritual, but it’s also rooted in science to make sure your skin’s natural protectors are working properly.

Scientific Skin Care

METRIN has always been proudly rooted in science since our inception in 1932. Through a time-proven formulation, our products are designed to be safe and effective for anyone to use while also having the ability to personalize and adjust your routine to meet or fit your particular skin needs.

Putting the science of skin care into your own personal history is important to understand your skin’s natural functions and how to treat or improve it and ensure your skin is at its best all the time. Any skin care routine worth its salt needs to be focused on nourishment, renewal, and protection to ensure your skin’s actually improving.

At its core, skin care should be focused around:

• Enhancing your skin’s natural exfoliation process to gently shed dead skin cells
• Better stimulating new cell renewal
• Correcting the balance for natural oil production by providing your skin with the nourishment it needs

METRIN’s approach to skin care is not about suppressing the skin’s symptoms caused by imbalances in the skin but about helping the skin find and maintain a natural healthy balance. Any imbalance means your skin’s natural processes are not functioning optimally to keep it looking and feeling healthy.

Science and facts are your best protection against dubious or untrustworthy skin care products. For over 90 years, our products have been tested and proven for use by man around the world. Only skin care rooted in optimal everyday use observed over time can truly show results.
