Here is what products to choose for perfectly hydrated skin
If there was only one beauty gesture to adopt, it would be this!Hydrateing on a daily basis is essential to maintain a good functioning of the skin, from adolescence, whether normal, dry, mixed or rather oily.If, in summary, this allows you to retain water in the epidermis and avoid its dehydration, it is in fact the very balance of the skin that depends it.Well hydrated, it will defend itself better, will be softer, more flexible, more radiant and will also age slower...Besides, if 62% of French women* opt regularly for moisturizers, it is no coincidence!These are even the favorites of women between 41 and 65 years old.But hydration has not yet delivered all its secrets and continues to be the subject of research in the large cosmetics labs.
We choose the best active ingredients
At first, the moisturizing treatment will throat the skin into water, thanks to humucing agents (urea, hyaluronic acid, glycerin...)))).They act by holding water inside, with immediate and lasting efficiency. Ensuite, grâce à des agents émollients végétaux (squalane végétal, acides gras et céramides)))), la barrière cutanée va être renforcée et assurer une certaine étanchéité en formant un film occlusif.This limits the insensitive loss of water, that is to say natural evaporation by the skin.But today, it is no longer enough to "water" the epidermis!Labos are working on new hydration modes every day and on new assets.The Graal ?Develop skin capacity to self -hydrate thanks to ingredients capable of relaunching its natural functioning.Active star, hyaluronic acid, which is also present naturally in the dermis, continues to be widely studied. Une nouvelle génération arrive, qui pénètre mieux et demeure plus longtemps (jusqu’à soixante-douze heures)))) dans les tissus cutanés, pour un effet hydratant et anti-âge plus durable.Different molecular sizes are most often associated in the same formula for playing on all tables: straightening wrinkles and fine lines, plump the skin and boost the natural production of hyaluronic acid, which decreases with years. Les peptides (ou glycopeptides)))), extraits notamment de graines de lin, sont également un actif de premier plan.These tiny messengers encourage cells to work better, consolidating the skin barrier and promoting good hydration.Another way to help the skin find an optimal level: strengthen "natural hydration factors", substances present in the epidermis, which form a natural water tank.As for ceramids, essential to "cement" skin cells, and therefore hold water well, it is useful to bring locally to improve the structure of the skin and make it more resistant, because their proportion also drops overyear.Finally, ingredients that repair and protect oxidative stress (UV, pollution...)))), as antioxidants, can complete this type of formula to optimize the operation of skin mechanisms.
We boost the effectiveness of the care
By regularly eliminating the dead cells present on the surface of the epidermis, we ensure better penetration of moisturizing assets.For this, we use an exfoliating lotion based on fruit acids, very effective, rather than a grain scrub.Another possibility: applying your moisturizer in the minute following cleaning makes it possible to "trap" hydration in the tissues and limit the insensitive loss of water. Enfin, en cas de sécheresse intense, en hiver ou en avion, par exemple, on ajoute quelques gouttes d’huile végétale (avocat, bourrache, onagre)))) à son soin de jour ou de nuit.By creating a greasy film on the surface, the water is retained in the skin, which "seals" hydration.
We take stock of our needs
Everyone is affected by dehydration.It can occur at any time in life, when the superficial layers lack water due to external factors (temperature variations, routine or unsuitable products...)))).Mixed or oily skin can suffer from it.By choosing fluid and non -comedogenic care, they will receive the water and the assets they need to be balanced.In contrast, constitutional skin drought corresponds to a type of skin naturally poor in sebum, which requires a regular supply of lipids through "rich" formulas.As for sensitive skin, they must favor the compositions containing few ingredients, devoid of essential oils and perfume, in order to limit the risks of reaction or intolerance.Regarding mature skin, remember that anti-aging care is all in the first place of moisturizers, with additional assets to slow the aging process, such as antioxidant vitamin C or firming retinol.
