The skin is the canvas of our emotions and lifestyle. With the changes of the seasons and the holiday season, it can show signs of fatigue and holiday excess. This is what you should do to take care of it.
Scrub: Softly, but Surely
To protect itself, the skin has the stratum corneum at the surface of the epidermis. It is made up of a hydrolipidic layer (sebum) and dead skin cells. When these are not correctly disposed of, they block pores, generate imperfections and cloud the complexion.
Gentle exfoliation of the face gets ride of persistent dead skin cells, helps restart microcirculation, and in this way illuminates and refreshes the skin tone. During the winter and the holiday season, this should be done once per week and is essential for helping the skin cope with all kinds of excess.
For the body, it is possible to exfoliate a bit harder, which will make the texture of the skin smoother and look radiant. Our certified Organic Body Scrub is enriched with Rock Samphire and Alaria esculenta, the perfect ingredients for revitalizing and tonifying the skin.
Purify and Massage
Sometimes, exfoliating the surface of the skin is not enough to unclog pores. During the holiday season, meals tend to be richer and more fatty.
The type of thing that can cause some small imperfections. Applying a detox or decongesting mask after using a scrub enables a deeper cleansing.
Every day, remember to thoroughly remove make-up and cleanse your skin with gentle products. This is to not stress the epidermis and avoid the opposite effect, increasing sebum production and thus the risk of developing pimples.
Finally, massaging is a great way to restart the circulation of lymph and microcirculation, free the skin of accumulated toxin in doing so.
The main thing is to proceed gently, always from the center of the face towards the outer edges and from the bottom up to not cause more wrinkling and fluff up the areas with volume. 5 minutes per day is enough to boost your look and replenish your features.
Moisturize & Protect
During this time of the year, the cold temperatures along with everything else (pollution, stress, fatigue, smoke, etc.) make the skin more sensitive.
It needs to be well-moisturized and well-protected. Our HYDRA-PROTECT + products are ideal: moisturizing deeply thanks to formulas with Organic hyaluronic acid from fermentation, along with Alga-Gorria® that acts as a powerful natural antioxidant.
At the end of the year, we don’t hesitate to go for the whole ritual with the Revitalizing Eye Contour, the Replenishing Serum, and our Cream or Fluid depending on what you prefer in terms of feel.
Focus on the Night and Regeneration
It all goes down at night: the skin regenerates at depth, cells cleanse themselves and multiply, the body goes into detox mode.
This is why it is important to select nighttime skincare that will relieve the skin, calming the stress of the day while helping cells to renew themselves. HYDRA-PROTECT + Regenerative Night Cream is just the thing with its soft, enveloping, cocoon feel. When you wake up, the skin looks refreshed and smoothed out.
Detox from the Inside
Finally, because the skin is this fabulous and complex organ that interacts as much with the outside world as the one inside, it is unthinkable to neglect the whole body, particularly emunctory organs.
Among them, there is the skin of course, but also the liver and the kidneys, not to mention the digestive tract. The equilibrum of its microbiome is particularly important for the health of the skin.
Everything is connected. So, during the holiday season when it is easy to go a bit overboard, do not hesitate to rest your body between meals and detox after the holidays.
There are many possibilities, but among the most well-known there is warm water with a twist of lemon or the green juice detox (with green apple, cucumber, parsley, celery, and ginger) with tons of vitamins and minerals.
