Blending cosmetics and medical science, dermatological cosmetics, or dermo-cosmetics, are designed to help improve the condition of your skin while enhancing its appearance. Atopic types of skin (epidermis that reacts to the even minor stress, or is prone to eczema, irritation and redness) are the perfect candidates for these products. Inspired by aesthetic medicine, dermo-cosmetics follow strict medical requirements and are made according to the best pharmaceutical manufacturing standards.
The three main functions of creams, serums, lotions, balms, gels and other dermo-cosmetic products are to protect your skin, moisturize it and help repair its imperfections. These products work deeply on your skin's three layers:
Dermo-cosmetics form a barrier that protects against external aggression, pollution and UV rays, while adding the right amount of moisture to your skin. As a result, many dermo-cosmetics can help slow the signs of your skin's natural aging process. Others tackle skin problems like dryness or sensitivity. What’s more, they’re also designed by dermo-cosmetic companies that carry out extensive research, use effective ingredients and employ patented technological advances.
Before you start buying products to boost your beauty capital, you have to determine what type of skin you have. Not sure what type your skin is? Book an appointment with your Jean Coutu dermo-cosmetics team. They’re on hand to offer a personalized analysis of your skin's condition and moisture level, so that you can make the best choices for you.
Does your skin lack elasticity and radiance? Does it peel easily? Clean it thoroughly with a soft, non-astringent product, like a cleansing milk, and don’t skimp on hydration! To avoid itching and tightness, use rich skincare products that provide deep, long-lasting nourishment.
