    Glossary Healthy Skin

    well-hydrated, smooth, and free from visible damage or disease

    Healthy skin refers to skin that is well-hydrated, smooth, and free from visible signs of damage or disease, such as redness, inflammation, or lesions. It has a balanced pH, an intact barrier function to protect against environmental stressors, and an even tone and texture. For professionals, healthy skin also indicates proper cellular turnover, adequate collagen production, and effective functioning of sebaceous and sweat glands.
