This type of skin reacts more than normal skin in the same conditions. Changes in temperature, stress and the use of certain products can result in skin discomfort. Irritable skin requires care products specifically made for sensitive skin.
The emergency care against intense localized itching, anywhere, anytime. Dry areas prone to intense itching and atopic eczema. Face, body, eyelids.
Soothing cleanser for sensitive to dry, intolerant, ultra-sensitive skin. Fragrance-free. Preservative-free. No tensio-active ingredients.
Dry skin happens when the skin is low in lipids. This lipid deficiency breaks down the skin barrier, leaving the skin exposed and vulnerable, and thus dry.
Oily skin is characterized by the overproduction of sebum, leaving an oily and thick film on the skin’s surface. This prevents the healthy regeneration of skin cells and leads to the formation of blackheads and whiteheads.
Combination skin is the result of an uneven distribution of lipids, thus creating dry and oily zones. There are two different types of combination skin.
On cheeks
In the T-zone area
Even though it gives your skin a good head start, moisturizers aren't enough to guarantee a radiant skin tone. You also need to lead a healthy life. Here's a simple, 4-step plan of attack.
Lots of water: at least 6 to 8 glasses of water every day. This will help hydrate your skin deeply, from within, for a more luminous tone. And if water's not your thing, don't worry: soups, herb teas, flavoured ice or homemade lemonade will also do the trick. But go easy on the sugar!
Clean skin ages more slowly, so don't miss a chance to wash! Make it a ritual morning and night using a gentle cleanser without rinsing (the chlorine and calcium in tap water can harm your skin). Too busy? Always have a box of gentle makeup-remover towelettes close at hand in case of emergencies.
Your skin tone is also affected from within, so stay beautiful by eating carefully. Variety is the spice of life! In addition to fruits and vegetables, choose items that have been processed as little as possible. Also make sure to eat foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 acids to soften your skin, retain its elasticity and fight free radicals that damage your skin and your appearance.
A number of studies have clearly shown that lack of sleep accelerates aging of the skin. Wrinkles, dryness, sagging, pimples, pigmentation... short nights are merciless on our skin! Because it doesn't have enough time to regenerate itself, your skin becomes more vulnerable to the passage of time, and less effective at resisting the stresses of the day. Give your skin a fighting chance by sleeping at least eight hours a night. You'll wake up feeling and looking refreshed!
