Attack on Prime New Age Anthology: Game Plan
Main Story
Catching Up Part 2
Released from Quarantine
Reunions
The humans start discussing a game plan on how to tackle a world without titans.
"I do apologize for everything that has been happening in the past month," Bryce explained as he sat down at his desk. He gestured to the two chairs in front of him, and Kenshin and Willy sat down in each of them, "But we do thank you for being cooperative."
"What is this about?" Willy asked.
"Your world is in chaos," Bryce stated bluntly, "You faced a cataclysmic event of untold proportions, one that hasn't been thought about here on Earth. Your ecosystem has been ravaged, we are still counting the death toll, and there is a possibility that damage has been done to the ozone layer. If we sent the people we have here back home, there is a chance they would not survive due to the drop in oxygen levels."
Bryce picked up one of the papers on his desk. "However, the biggest concern we have been hearing from many of the denizens is whether or not the power of the titans have been destroyed. The Autobots have conducted enough tests to absolutely confirm that, but it's uncertain if the people on your world would trust titans from beyond the stars."
"...you want us to be your mediators," Kenshin concluded.
"More ambassadors," Bryce corrected.
"General, our world is in chaos like you said, and many countries have either been destroyed or destabilized. Not to mention, I lost some of my political influence prior to the Rumbling," Willy explained.
"Your sister was on the front lines, and she sacrificed herself to save thousands of people," Bryce retorted, "I think that has helped redeemed your name."
Willy's eyes lowered to his hands, doing his best not to cry.
"I doubt I'd be much help," Kenshin proclaimed, "Willy's not a ruler of a country. I am, and I'm certain that many of Hizuru's top officials have been killed during the Rumbling, along with a good portion of the land. I have no idea how many of my people are alive."
Bryce pulled out his phone and showed them a picture of their world's map. "The Autobots also calculated how far the Colossal Titans have gotten before Optimus destroyed it. Marley has been wiped off the map for the most part, along with a good portion of the Middle Eastern Region. Hizuru has been ravaged, but the entire country hasn't been destroyed. There have been a few continents left unscathed or barely touched. The region we would call North America had only just been hit by the Rumbling when the event stopped. This continent that we would call Australia, along with a few other islands haven't been touched mainly due to the distance from ground zero."
Bryce put the phone down. "If you have allies, political influence anywhere, then it would help to use that in order to mitigate the chaos and prevent infighting over basic necessities. We can help you provide food and water to the people that have been disparaged, along with medical assistance."
"What do you want from us in return?" Kenshin demanded, "No one asks of something without something in return."
"I doubt that we would be able to provide you anything," Willy retorted, "Your world is much more advanced than our own, and we need all the help we can get. What would you need from us?"
"Earth has been trying to find life on other planets that would be hospitable to humans from Earth," Bryce explained, "Even though we've come into contact with Cybertron, the planet's not hospitable to humans, and titans like them are considered fictional to the wider populous. You've already had the concept of titans for thousands of years and your world has been similar to that of ours. We could start interplanetary relationships. And your world is prime ground to run some tests of our own."
"Such as?" Kenshin narrowed his eyes.
"Repairing the ozone layer, food growth and restoration, so far many scientists have been wanting to test environmental impacts and repairs," Bryce answered, "Our world is slowly going through a climate crisis, and to test out how to repair that crisis on a world that has had their climate completely altered would be revolutionary in terms of progress. You will be receiving a tremendous benefit by having your world repaired at a quicker pace, but we will also be benefitting from this as well by preventing our own demise."
"We could use this help." Willy turned to Kenshin.
"I know for a fact that you have much more to gain that you're not telling us," Kenshin accused.
"You're right," Bryce confessed, "And this information is something I'm not allowed to disclose to you, especially since this a developing situation. But I assure you that this will be beneficial to you if you cooperate with us willingly."
Kenshin grimaced at that before glancing over at Willy.
"We have nothing to lose from this, and we can't repair the world on our own," Willy reminded, "And I think many of the people from our world would like some sense of normality."
Kenshin sighed in defeat at that. There were many already dead, injured, or displaced, and that number was going to continue climbing. He just knew it. "Fine. We'll do your alliance."

"Alright, I got the huge bags of chips I saved in storage!" Miko declared as she walked up the steps to the common area of Unit E with four giant bags of different flavored chips along with a bag of Styrofoam bowls. The 104th and Onyankopon were either sitting down on the couch or the floor, with the exception of Jean who was in his wheelchair. They were watching Jack write a list on a white board with a red marker.
"Potatoes." Sasha's mouth watered at the familiar picture of potatoes on the bag.
"Don't be greedy," Miko warned her as she sat on the floor opened the bags, "We have Lays, Doritos, Cheetos, and Tortilla Chips."
"I thought you had spicy chips," Rafael remarked as he continued typing away on his laptop.
"They're not going to be able to handle Hot Cheetos." Miko ripped open the bag containing the Styrofoam bowls, "Alright, dig in."
Sasha jumped at the potato bag, but Miko quickly grabbed her and pinned her to the ground.
"Wow." Jean was impressed as Sasha squirmed in Miko's grip.
"Mikooooo!" Sasha whined.
"Be patient!" Miko scolded her.
"Thanks Miko," Armin said as he got himself a bowl of Doritos, "It's usually pretty hard to stop Sasha when it comes to food."
"Yeah, I can imagine," Miko commented.
"Okay." Jack turned to the audience as he pointed at the list on the whiteboard. "So these are the things that we have to take care of. One." Jack pointed at the top of the list. "Providing aid and relief to the people affected by the Rumbling. This going to be a consistent, top, priority since the death toll is still climbing. Two."
Jack pointed to the next item. "We need to check up on Paradis. Historia, you mentioned you're the queen and the military has effectively been dismantled."
"I don't know who would be trying to take control right now," Historia explained from her seat on the couch, "It could fall under a dictatorship fearful of receiving retaliation for the Rumbling."
"So we need to find out what's going on there and prevent a dictatorship," Jack declared, "Three: hold a funeral procession for Connie."
"Why can't we just do that right away?" Sasha demanded as Miko got off of her.
"Paradis needs to be stable first before we can do the funeral," Jack answered, "Someone could interrupt funeral proceedings, try to kill you, desecrate Connie's grave. Paradis needs to be stable first. Four, we find Mikasa."
"But Mikasa's been missing for over a month!" Armin exclaimed.
"Yeah, that's the problem," Jack sighed in defeat, "She's been missing for over a month, we have no leads on her location and finding her without the technology we have on your world is going to take longer. Do you have any idea where she might have gone?"
Armin thought it over. "She might have gone back home?"
"To reverse Madagascar?!" Rafael exclaimed, "I thought you guys were a hermit country everyone hated! Who the hell would be willing to take her there if there are any available mods of transportation?!"
"I don't know!" Armin exclaimed, "Maybe she went to civilization?!"
"Hey, wouldn't it be funny if she actually swam back to the island?" Miko quipped.
"Knowing her strength, she probably did," Jean proclaimed seriously.
"There's no way!" Miko snapped her head at Jean.
"Maybe we can ask the locals and see if they spotted her?" Onyankopon suggested.
"Maybe, but it still might not be as effective," Jack admitted, "We do have pictures of her, thankfully, but still, it's finding a needle in the haystack. Also, do we really know if she made it to Paradis in the past month?"
"I know that she would have gone back home," Armin declared with confidence, "It's the only place she has a real attachment to. No where else."
"Well..." Jack trailed off, "We'll check the sight of the final battle first, go to the closest refugee camp to ask there, and if we can't find her there, then we can scope out Paradis once we can stabilize the government. That's the bed plan I can come up with given the lack of information we have on her."
"...okay," Armin relented.
"Additional items include Jean staying behind on Earth to learn how to walk again," Jack continued.
"Make sure to bring me back home when you have Connie's funeral," Jean declared.
"Will do." Jack nodded, "We'll also need to have a video prepped to send over to Optimus once he wakes up."
"What?! Optimus is feeling better?!" Onyankopon exclaimed.
"Yeah, we received some texts from Ratchet saying that Optimus' recovery has been stable. He doesn't need life support anymore and hopefully he'll wake up sooner rather than later."
"That's great!" Sasha exclaimed with delight, "We need to tell the others!"
"Pretty sure shark lady's already in the loop if she's with Ratchet," Miko commented.
"Can you stop calling my wife that?" Historia demanded.
"She used to turn into a shark! What can I say?!" Miko exclaimed.
"Once we finalize all of this then we'll let Erwin and Hanji know," Jack declared, "Levi's still unconscious according to Jean."
"Yeah, his injuries were pretty bad," Jean declared.
"And I'm certain Bryce is talking to Kenshin and Willy," Jack surmised.
"Ugh, the golden spoon." Miko rolled her eyes.
"Why would they need to talk to Bryce?" Onyankopon asked.
"Politics," Jack replied, "Want to create alliances."
"And steal resources," Rafael mumbled to himself.
====
Hanji removed their glasses and rubbed their eye before eating the granola bar that was placed on their table. "They're going to execute Megatron."
Erwin didn't reply to that. He was merely flexing the fingers on his cybernetic arm when he heard them speak. "...you want to save him."
"That's the plan," Hanji grumbled, "Or a plan. I know I'm completely outclassed here, and I bought myself extra time in quarantine because of my stunt from earlier. The humans here are advanced, Cybertron is way above anything Earth is, and so many people want Megatron dead, both human and Cybertronian, and who knows how long Optimus will be out of commission before they decide to reach a verdict."
"Something tells me that he doesn't want you interfering in his situation, if he cares about you," Erwin assumed.
"Is it fucked up that I give a shit about him now?" Hanji asked him, "I mean, originally I just wanted to study him, but damn it, he was actually putting in the effort to be a better person to the point I was willing to put my trust in him. But I've heard his war crimes. I doubt Cybertron is going to see it that way, considering how much harm he's done to other people."
"I doubt you're going to get far," Erwin proclaimed.
"Well according to Jack, they looked into his head and saw his memories and now don't know what to feel. Not to mention Buckethead saved some people that he had screwed over in the past, specifically the Bot that killed him before his body got hijacked by Unicron," Hanji explained, "Our interactions with Megatron are making them second guess."
Hanji looked back at Erwin. "C'mon there has to be something between you and Megatron that would get them to second guess themselves."
Erwin sighed in defeat. "Hanji, he came to me as an insurance plan, and it felt like manipulation when we were talking. He ended up forcing Nile to stay after he found out about us, and Kenny-!"
"Hey, Kenny was on you. You broke him out of prison," Hanji cut him off, "But Floch and Louise got involved. With the way that they were acting in regard to Eren, how did Megatron convince them to stay and not blab about his team?"
"He didn't," Erwin declared, "He gave us a choice."
Hanji stared in surprise. "What?"
"Megatron said that he was going to stop both Zeke and Eren regardless of whether or not he stood alone," Erwin explained, "He gave all five of us a week to come to that decision: to join him or leave the cause. No repercussions. No threats of death. He knew that Floch and Louise were a risk,...but he still let them go."
"Erwin this is fucking big!" Hanji slammed their hands against the glass, "Megatron: the big bad who forced everyone to do his bidding or die, is giving organics a choice to follow him?! Megatron, putting his life on the line for organics! Megatron choosing to save those he had wronged! Megatron choosing to save the one who killed him! Erwin, this is a case; however small, it is still a case! We have to try and find a way to fight for him!"
"Hanji, do you really think that you can somehow get their attention while Optimus is in the hospital?" Erwin asked, "And if you do make your case, you are defending a war criminal. It is like defending Eren's actions to the rest of the world he just slaughtered."
Hanji grimaced as they pushed off of the glass.
"Hanji, I need to know." Erwin pressed his cybernetic hand against the glass, "Are you prepared to do this? If you defend Megatron, you will be aiding and abetting a war criminal who is clearly guilty. They can and will target you. They might kill you for defending someone that has ruined so many lives."
Hanji shut their eye in response.
"Is Megatron really worth your life?" Erwin demanded.
Hanji looked back at Erwin, and could see the concern in his eyes and felt bad. Even though the power of the titans were gone, they were still putting themselves in danger once again. Was Megatron really worth any of this at all?
Hanji took a deep breath. "If it wasn't for a good portion of Megatron's decisions, I'd probably be dead right now. Part of me is still uncertain if Megatron's truly changed for the better. But at the very least, I owe him a debt for keeping me and my comrades alive for so long....You gonna stop me, join me, or remain neutral?"
"...If you said they looked into his memories...I don't know how that would be possible," Erwin commented, "Then I'm certain that they did see me. Like it or not, I have to provide a case for him."
Hanji smirked. "Alright, looks like we're going to try and fail to defend a genocidal maniac! The hypocrites we are!"
"Levi's not going to like this," Erwin declared.
"Oh, Levi's gonna fucking hate us for this," Hanji snickered.
(Alright, I know a lot of the focus is on the humans, but we will go back to the Cybertronians! I promise!)

A writer’s guide to forests: from the poles to the tropics, part 7
Is it no.7 already? Wow. A big shout out to everyone who has had the patients to stick with this. Now onto this week’s forest…
Dry forest
Water is life. That’s a fact. And especially where it doesn’t rain for more than half the year.
Location: Dry forests are scattered throughout the Yucatán peninsula ,South America, various Pacific islands,Australia, Madagascar, and India. Areas have been cleared by human activity, and the SA dry forests are classified as the most threatened tropical forests.
Climate: Temperate to tropical, with just enough rain to sustain trees. Many are monsoonal, with rain coming in one or two brief periods separated by a long dry season.
Plant life- Hardy trees, such as Baobab and Eucalyptus are able to last with little rain by tapping into groundwater with extensive root systems. Many trees are evergreen, but in India, many species are deciduous. Trees are often more spaced out, and shrubs and grasses grow extensively. Cacti are common plants in the Americas, with some growing tall enough to be considered trees. In order to survive the heat and lack of water, many small plants are annuals, or store water in tubers. Palms can make up a large percentage of the trees, as was the case in the now vanished forests of Easter Island.
Animal life- As they can come and go when they please, birds are common species. Larger animals are active year round, with smaller species of mammals, amphibians, and certain insects only coming out during the rainy season. Isolation means that islands become home to many endemic species; think about Madagascar and the lemurs, or Darwin’s finches, iguanas, and tortoises in the Galapagos. Isolation has also led to the marsupials of Australia developing to fill the niches that would normally be occupied by placental mammals .The introduction of invasive species has brought about the extinction of island fauna.
How the forest affects the story- Water, or the lack of will be the biggest challenge your characters will face. Rivers and lakes may be seasonal, so other sources will have to be utilized. Drinkable fluids can be obtained from various plants and animals, or maybe the bedrock is porous and water accumulates in cenotes. Your characters could come from a culture that builds artificial reservoirs to collect the rain and store it for the dry season. With careful water management, cities can thrive in dry areas. But your characters will have to be careful. Prolonged drought will see societies go the way of the Maya. Deforestation leaves the topsoil vulnerable to the wind, and forests, farms, and grassland will inevitably turn to desert. Whether nomadic or sedentary, your characters and their society will have to find a way to interact with the forest without destroying it or themselves. Can they do it? Can a damaged biosphere be restored before it’s too late? The success or failure of your characters and/or their predecessors can be a driving focus of the plot. Of course ,when the rains do come, it could be in the form of a cyclone. Dry ground does not readily absorb water, and flash floods are a danger. Water can grant life, but it can take it as well.

castaway: an interview
Traveller and diarist C.C O’Hanlon spent most of the first half of his life at sea aboard a variety of vessels until marriage, children, and ill health held him ashore. He has come to think of himself as a ‘castaway’.
Now in his late 60s, C.C. is still as restless as he was in his youth. During the past decade he has wandered ceaselessly, from Australia to France, Germany, the U.K., Morocco, Italy, Ireland, and Spain. Recently, he has come to rest on the Salento Peninsula, in southern Italy, where he and his wife of 33 years, Given, are restoring a 200-year-old limestone village house.
C.C. was one year old when he first went to sea, a long voyage to Italy from Australia aboard an old Italian immigrant ship, accompanied by his parents. He became a qualified sea navigator in his early 20s. He funded the building of a small yacht of his own by delivering other people’s yachts and writing and photographing for UK and North American yachting magazines.
He has the hard-shelled demeanour, brawny bulk, and gnarled, bearded features of an old salt but C.C. is a surprisingly thoughtful, informed observer of nature and an expressive writer. Earlier this year, the respected Dutch publisher, Thomas Rap, announced that it had commissioned him to write a non-fiction book about the sea and his uncomfortable relationship with settlement and the shore.
It felt entirely appropriate that we should connect by email from seas at opposite ends of the European continent — me by the Baltic in Jurmala, Latvia, he by the Adriatic, in Puglia, Italy.
How did you become a castaway?
I stumbled ashore, somewhat damaged, in my 30s and let others convince me it was time to settle. Big mistake. I ended up rootless, a nomad, more unsettled than I had been at sea. I’ve been stranding ever since on a series of different shores.
Which has been your favourite voyage so far?
My very first passage alone in a very small yacht from the island of Jersey, in the English Channel, to Crosshaven on the south coast of Ireland, a distance of about 290 sea miles. This was in the mid ‘70s, before everyone had GPS. I had a couple of compasses, a wristwatch, a radio receiver, a barometer, and an old sextant I was teaching myself to use. Paper charts. Hardly any safety gear.
It wasn’t an epic voyage. I was very inexperienced. It took about three days. But when I finally made landfall, I felt like I had mastered some arcane craft, an ancient magic. I could find my way across a featureless sea.
What challenges are there in leading a life as a castaway?
For me, living close to the sea — being aware of its presence, being alert to its constantly changing state — and yet being frustrated, often, because I’m unable to actually get out there on it.
I miss voyaging.
What inspires you?
Unusual young people, like Hannah Lily Stowe, whom you’ve featured here. And certain solitary, rarely remarked upon, but rather extraordinary people who live (and voyage) at the margins, like Kris Larsen and Nick Skeates.
Also maps. Or, more specifically, nautical charts, maps of the sea. I have, maybe, a couple of hundred of them, many more than half a century old. I read them as I would a book.
A chart is a wondrous artefact.. At first glance, it’s just an annotated image of a stretch of water and its littoral, a repository of essential data. But a chart is filled with history, geography, oceanography, metereology and several hundred years of maritime lore and experience, all conveyed in a visual language that has evolved over centuries.
A chart can pique your curiosity about the physical world: the magnetic anomalies of the north-east Pacific, say, or the inshore canyons of the Atlantic coast of Portugal, which can form waves that reach a hundred feet in height. Or it might draw you into a real-life adventure up the Congo, the world’s deepest and maybe most mysterious river.
Is there a book about the sea that you would suggest to read?
There are two:
My childhood favourite was Arthur Ransome’s We Didn’t Mean To Go To Sea, published in 1937. I wish more kids would read it these days and imagine themselves sailing the tiny Goblin without adult supervision across the grey North Sea.
The other is The Starship And the Canoe, an unusual double biography of a famed physicist who dreamed of designing massive, improbably powered rocket-ships and sending them on manned voyages to Mars, and his son who lived in a tree, in between voyaging in hand-built, sea-going kayaks along the north-west Pacific coast, from Canada to Alaska.
What does the sea mean to you?
Possibilities! Every encounter with the sea is different. Nothing there is fixed or immutable, nothing is ever the same. When you venture out into it, you can never be sure what to expect and that element of uncertainty — of expectancy, of risk — is at the heart of sea-faring.
The sea always provides powerful experiences, whether it’s excitement, wonder, awe, puzzlement, terror, misery, tedium, frustration, longing, self-doubt, deep satisfaction, loneliness, or enlightenment — but never quite when or how you might expect them.
You can never take the sea for granted — it might, after all, take your life — and whatever you get from it, good or bad, savour it, no matter what.
First published in The Sea Library magazine, Latvia, as part of a series, When I Grow Up, edited by Anna Iltnere, 2021.

EMU SKELETON
Dromaius novaehollandiae
1970
The emu is the second-tallest living bird after its ratite relative, the ostrich. It is endemic to Australia, where it is the largest native bird and the only extant member of the genus Dromaius. The emu's range covers most of mainland Australia, but the Tasmanian, Kangaroo Island and King Island subspecies became extinct after the European settlement of Australia in 1788.
Emus were first reported as having been seen by Europeans when explorers visited the western coast of Australia in 1696. This was during an expedition led by Dutch captain Willem de Vlamingh who was searching for survivors of a ship that had gone missing two years earlier. The birds were known on the eastern coast before 1788, when the first Europeans settled there.
Emus are soft-feathered, brown, flightless birds with long necks and legs, and can reach up to 6.2 ft (1.9 m) in height. Emus can travel great distances, and when necessary can sprint at 30 mph (48 kph); they forage for a variety of plants and insects, but have been known to go for weeks without eating. They drink infrequently, but take in copious amounts of water when the opportunity arises.
The skeleton presented here is in very fine to perfect condition, showing no damage and no restorations. It has been mounted on a custom stand.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN
July 26, 2023
HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
Yesterday a team of international researchers confirmed that human-caused climate change is driving the life-threatening heat waves in the U.S. and Europe. The U.S. has broken more than 2,000 high temperature records in the past month, and it looks like July will be the hottest month on Earth since scientists have kept records. 
Another study published yesterday warns that the Atlantic currents that transport warm water from the tropics north are in danger of collapsing as early as 2025 and as late as 2095, with a central estimate of 2050. As Arctic ice melts, the cold water that sinks and pulls the current northward is warming, slowing the mechanism that moves the currents. The collapse of that system would disrupt rain patterns in India, South America, and West Africa, endangering the food supplies for billions of people. It would also raise sea levels on the North American east coast and create storms and colder temperatures in Europe.
On Sunday and Monday, the ocean water off the tip of Florida reached temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 Celsius), the same temperature as an average hot tub. According to the Coral Restoration Foundation, a nonprofit organization in Florida’s Key Largo that works to protect coral reefs, the hot water has created “a severe and urgent crisis,” with mortality up to 100%. The Mediterranean Sea also hit a record high this week, reaching 83.1 degrees Fahrenheit (28.4 Celsius).
An op-ed by David Wallace-Wells in the New York Times today noted that more land burned in Quebec in June than in the previous 20 years combined; across Canada, more than 25 million acres burned. And most of Canada’s fire season is still ahead. 
Professor Ian Lowe of Australia’s Griffith University told The Guardian that he recalled reading the 1985 report that identified the link between greenhouse gasses and climate change, and worked to draw public attention to it. “Now all the projected changes are happening,” he said. “I reflect on how much needless environmental damage and human suffering will result from the work of those politicians, business leaders and public figures who have prevented concerted action. History will judge them very harshly.”
Former vice president Mike Pence, who is running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, today unveiled his economic proposal. It calls for eliminating the Environmental Protection Agency and the Biden administration’s incentives designed to address climate change. 
In that, he is in line with Republican lawmakers. Earlier this month, Mike Magner in Roll Call noted that at least four of the bills released so far by the House Appropriations Committee for 2024 include cutting funding to address climate change that Congress appropriated in the Inflation Reduction Act. Project 2025, which has provided the blueprint for a Trump presidency, says “the Biden Administration’s climate fanaticism will need a whole-of-government unwinding,” and calls for more use of fossil fuels. 
A new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Columbia University says that court cases related to climate change have more than doubled in five years. Thirty-four of the 2,180 lawsuits have been brought forward on behalf of children, teens, and young adults.  
And therein lies a huge problem for today’s Republican Party. A recent poll of young voters shows they care deeply about gun violence, economic inequality, LGBTQ+ rights, and climate change. All of those issues are only becoming more prominent.

Water damage is one of the most challenging issues homeowners can face. Whether it's caused by a burst pipe, a leaking roof, or a natural disaster like a flood, the effects can be devastating.

Skin Barrier Australia: Ultimate Defense Against Environmental Stressors
Tumblr media
Skin barrier products have become essential in the skincare routines of many people in Australia and for a good reason. These products play a vital role in protecting the skin from environmental stressors and ensuring it remains healthy and resilient. Skin barrier Australia products are particularly important due to the country's unique climate, which ranges from the dry, arid outback to the humid coastal regions. This diverse environment can be harsh on the skin, making it crucial to maintain a strong and healthy skin barrier.
A healthy skin barrier is essential for maintaining overall skin health. It acts as the first line of defense against harmful pollutants, bacteria, and other external aggressors. Without a well-functioning skin barrier, the skin can become susceptible to various issues, including dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. This is why Skin Barrier Australia products are designed to provide the necessary protection and support to keep the skin in optimal condition.
In Australia, the demand for effective skin barrier products has led to the development of a wide range of formulations that cater to different skin types and concerns. Whether you have dry, oily, sensitive, or combination skin, there are skin barrier Australia products available to address your specific needs. These products are formulated with ingredients that work synergistically to strengthen the skin's natural barrier and enhance its ability to retain moisture.
One of the key benefits of using skin barrier Australia products is their ability to prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL). TEWL occurs when the skin loses moisture through evaporation, leading to dehydration and a compromised skin barrier. By using skin barrier Australia products that are rich in emollients and occlusives, you can effectively lock in moisture and prevent TEWL. This helps to maintain hydrated, plump, and healthy-looking skin.
In addition to preventing moisture loss, skin barrier Australia products also protect the skin from environmental aggressors such as UV radiation, pollution, and harsh weather conditions. Australia is known for its high UV index, which can cause significant damage to the skin if not properly protected. Skin barrier Australia products often contain antioxidants and other protective ingredients that neutralize free radicals and shield the skin from the harmful effects of the sun and pollution.
Another important aspect of Skin Barrier Australia products is their ability to soothe and calm irritated skin. Many people in Australia experience skin sensitivity due to factors such as sun exposure, pollution, and the use of harsh skincare products. Skin Barrier Australia products are formulated with gentle, non-irritating ingredients that help to reduce redness, inflammation, and discomfort. By incorporating these products into your skincare routine, you can help to restore balance to your skin and prevent further irritation.
The popularity of skin barrier Australia products has also been driven by the increasing awareness of the importance of maintaining a healthy skin microbiome. The skin microbiome is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms that live on the skin's surface and play a crucial role in maintaining skin health. A disrupted skin microbiome can lead to various skin issues, including acne, eczema, and rosacea. Skin Barrier Australia products often contain prebiotics and probiotics that help to support a healthy skin microbiome and promote a balanced, radiant complexion.
When choosing skin barrier Australia products, it's important to consider the specific needs of your skin type. For example, if you have dry skin, you may benefit from using a rich, hydrating moisturizer that contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients are known for their ability to replenish the skin's moisture levels and strengthen the skin barrier. On the other hand, if you have oily or acne-prone skin, you may prefer a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula that provides hydration without clogging pores.
Skin Barrier Australia products are also available in various forms, including creams, lotions, serums, and balms. This allows you to choose the texture and formulation that best suits your preferences and skin type. Whether you prefer a lightweight serum that absorbs quickly or a rich, nourishing balm that provides intense hydration, there is a skin barrier Australia product for you.
Incorporating Skin Barrier Australia products into your daily skincare routine can provide long-lasting benefits for your skin. To get the most out of these products, it's essential to use them consistently and as directed. Start by cleansing your skin with a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove dirt and impurities without stripping the skin's natural oils. Follow up with a toner or essence that helps to prep the skin and enhance the absorption of subsequent products.
Next, apply a serum or treatment that targets your specific skin concerns. If you're using a skin barrier Australia serum, look for ingredients like niacinamide, peptides, and squalane, which help to strengthen the skin barrier and improve overall skin health. After applying your serum, follow up with a moisturizer that provides hydration and seals in the benefits of the previous steps. Choose a skin barrier Australia moisturizer that contains nourishing ingredients like shea butter, ceramides, and fatty acids.
Finally, don't forget to apply sunscreen as the last step in your morning skincare routine. Sunscreen is crucial for protecting the skin from UV damage, which can weaken the skin barrier and accelerate the signs of aging. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to ensure adequate protection. Many Skin Barrier Australia sunscreens are formulated with additional skincare benefits, such as hydration and antioxidant protection, making them a great choice for maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
So, Skin Barrier Australia products are essential for maintaining healthy, resilient skin in the face of environmental stressors and other challenges. By incorporating these products into your skincare routine, you can protect your skin from moisture loss, environmental damage, and irritation. With the right combination of Skin Barrier Australia products, you can achieve a balanced, hydrated, and radiant complexion that looks and feels its best.
