5 Essential Steps for Beautiful Skin

2016-07-11

Oily, dry, sensitive, combination? Whatever your skin type, you can regain a fresh, radiant complexion by following our advice and these five essential steps.

Beautiful skin

Clean Without Stripping

Why?

The skin is covered with a hydrolipidic film (a mix of oil and water) that must not be damaged, as it protects the epidermis and supports better hydration and suppleness. Cleansing (morning and evening) must be effective enough to remove impurities and traces of pollution, but gentle enough not to irritate or weaken skin cells.

How?

The ideal approach is to cleanse with water and a gentle, pH-neutral soap. On damp skin, lather the soap and massage in circular motions from the cheeks up to the forehead, without forgetting the neck. Rinse and gently pat dry with a towel.

Choose the Right Products

Why?

The active ingredients in skincare products can be powerful - and can ultimately be counterproductive (oilier skin, increased sensitivity, dullness…) if they do not match your skin’s needs. A poorly adapted product will not deliver the expected results (radiant complexion, hydrated skin, etc.).

How?

First determine your basic skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive or not, etc.) and then take into account temporary variables (skin can change depending on age, overall state - fatigue, stress - hormonal fluctuations, environment). You can then choose and adjust your products according to your real needs.

Nourish From the Outside

Why?

The cells in the stratum corneum must be renewed daily in order to maintain their quality and ensure their functions (hydrolipidic balance, protection, cell renewal, etc.). When these functions are compromised, dryness, wrinkles, and a lackluster complexion can appear.

How?

For dry or normal skin, apply a nourishing and hydrating cream in the morning, and a richer night cream in the evening. For oily skin, apply a lightweight moisturizer morning and evening. Choose the texture based on how comfortable it feels (a good texture keeps skin soft without heaviness or shine) and on environmental conditions (cold, heat, etc.).

Nourish From the Inside

Why?

Nutricosmetics (nourishing your skin through diet and/or supplements) is one of the keys to beautiful skin, because the supply of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants is essential for skin cells. And do not forget that hydration is crucial and directly linked to what you consume.

How?

Prioritize a healthy, balanced diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables for their beta-carotene content - a vitamin that supports a healthy glow, good hydration, and helps stimulate cell renewal. Drink at least 1.5 L of water a day. Consider taking dietary supplement programs once or twice a year.

Protect From UV

Why?

Ultraviolet rays accelerate skin aging.

How?

As soon as the sunny days return, choose a day cream that includes sun protection. In summer, always use a sunscreen adapted to your skin tone, limit direct sun exposure on your face as much as possible, and apply an after-sun cream when returning from the beach.
