A pipe.A transport system.A place where food goes in, nutrients go out, and waste goes out. But what if this context is why we keep missing the root of modern disease?

There is less UV radiation, less environmental stress and more opportunity for your barrier to recover and your skin to renew itself. That being said, many people buy an overnight serum and still don’t get results.
