A relatively new condition has evolved–over-processed skin. As its name implies, it is caused by an excess of invasive treatments. The skin is so abused that eventually it loses its natural properties–from its appearance to its capacity to heal. It looks like paper, void of vital energy. Too many chemical peels, excessive dermabrasion and maybe excessive or unsuccessful surgery have affected the skin to the extent that the natural vital flow of energy is blocked. It affects proper fluid movement and the stripping of trace minerals is an impediment to natural osmosis. Water, nutrients, and oxygenation do not reach all the layers of the skin and elimination of waste is affected. In short, the skin has lost its capacity to hydrate and to heal from within.
This condition is best met with Metal treatments and products from Phytobiodermie's Metal line of products (based on the 5-Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine). A series of energetic drainages is required to stimulate and balance all five fluids. The very existence of this condition is a sad but a very good demonstration of what happens when the skin is not respected for the organ it is–when it is treated as if it were a piece of cloth. This is also why holistically-minded estheticians are alert to these risks and educate their customers that more is not necessarily better.
