Skin barrier: taking care of your skin on the surface to limit aging

The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, and its outer layer, along with the hydrolipidic film that covers it, constitutes what is known as the skin barrier. The "Skinbarrier" is a true shield, and if taken care of, it helps the skin stay healthy and limit its aging.

#Skinbarrier: How to maintain skin balance?

Dry, dehydrated skin that feels tight, blemishes, or red is often a sign that the skin barrier is damaged. Skin texture is uneven, spots, inflammation, or itching are uncomfortable, and wrinkles or fine lines may appear. To avoid this, it is important to maintain the skin's balance so that the skin barrier can properly perform its protective function. To maintain a healthy skin barrier, we focus on the skin's surface with one key word: hydration. To properly hydrate the skin's surface, choose a skincare product containing squalane, a highly hydrating emollient active ingredient that helps fight dehydration by strengthening the skin's lipid barrier. Squalane is similar to sebum; it is easily absorbed by the skin, making it softer and more supple. Youth Hydration Cream is intensely hydrating. Its unique active ingredient complex containing squalane helps redensify the skin by promoting the stimulation of cell renewal.

How to strengthen the skin barrier?

When the skin barrier is damaged, it no longer fulfills its role as a protective shield for the skin. It then allows pollution particles and bacteria to penetrate the skin but also allows water to evaporate. Damaged skin lacking hydration will become irritated and lead to the appearance of imperfections, redness and wrinkles. To strengthen the skin barrier, choose a treatment containing ceramides. Indeed, while ceramides are naturally present in the skin to ensure cohesion between skin cells, their production decreases with age. The ceramides contained in skincare products help regenerate the skin's ceramides and therefore strengthen the skin barrier. Youth Booster Cream is a comprehensive anti-aging treatment, the result of a combination of active molecules (including ceramides) concentrated at optimal doses to maintain water in cells, stimulate cell regeneration, activate the skin's defense and repair mechanisms, and sustainably restore the skin barrier. Youth Booster Cream helps to achieve more beautiful, smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.

How to limit skin aging?

While it is natural, at a certain age, to notice that the skin shows certain signs of skin aging, it is however possible to delay and limit their appearance by taking good care to maintain the skin barrier. By protecting the skin from external aggressions responsible for oxidative stress, we delay skin aging and prevent the loss of elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles and spots. It is important to know your skin type to determine your beauty routine and choose suitable skincare products capable of providing the skin with the nutrients it needs to properly defend itself.

Vegetable oils effectively nourish the skin to help it regenerate. In the morning, on clean skin, apply a nourishing day cream containing fatty acids that will promote firmness. Sublime Oil is an anti-aging regenerating oil packed with active ingredients that makes the skin more toned, smooth, and plump. In the evening, after thoroughly removing makeup and cleansing your skin, apply an anti-aging night cream to help the skin renew itself while you sleep. The Generous Night Cream is rich in regenerating and repairing active ingredients and helps the skin maintain its balance. It contains nourishing shea butter and hydrating hyaluronic acid. Once a week, use a face mask to boost the skin and intensely nourish it. The RENEW range contains firming, antioxidant, nourishing, repairing, and hydrating active ingredients. A unique cocktail enriched with vegetable oils to strengthen the skin barrier and fight the appearance of signs of aging. The skin barrier protects not only our skin but also our body.

The "Skinbarrier" is indeed a real shield that we must take care of daily to ensure we stay healthy, with healthy skin. Weakened by our lifestyle, the skin can lose, over time, some of its ability to protect itself against external aggressions. It's up to us to choose facial care enriched with active ingredients capable of boosting our skin, maintaining its hydration level and strengthening the skin barrier. By providing it with the hydrating and nourishing active ingredients it needs, the skin is clearer, firmer, less prone to irritation and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Maintaining the skin barrier is the assurance of maintaining healthy and younger-looking skin.
