double<br />

layer<br />

The wall-like<br />

structure made of<br />

cornified,<br />

keratinised cells<br />

and cement<br />

substance<br />

prevents, on the<br />

one hand, the<br />

penetration of<br />

foreign and toxic<br />

substances from th<br />

outside and the<br />

exceedingly fast<br />

evaporation of<br />

water out of the<br />

skin on the other<br />

side.<br />

In other words, this cornea layer concerns an enormously important zone for protection and<br />

maintenance of healthy, fully functional skin.<br />

With increasing age, the skin b<strong>eco</strong>mes less elastic and loses suppleness, the cement substance<br />

b<strong>eco</strong>mes brittle, and small gaps form. Water can evaporate through these gaps, and the skin<br />

begins to feels dry and rough. The cell membranes, which mainly consist of lecithin, not only<br />

function as the limits of the cells but also regulate the exchange of substances, activate the<br />

enzymes and transfer of ions as well as the transmission of nerve stimuli. Membranes consist of<br />

30-40% of lecithin (Approx.).<br />
