Moisturising: The secret to beautiful skin

In daily life your skin is subjected to changes in temperature, pollution, air-conditioning, medication, the sun, stress and tiredness....To mention just a few elements of modern life ! No wonder that your skin becomes dehydrated.

But healthy skin means hydrated skin :
Your wrinkle-free face radiates health and beauty while the skin on your body becomes supple, smooth, and free of unsightly effects like stretch marks.

It's not enough to drink the recommended one and half litres of water a day to keep your epidermis happy. Of course it helps and is excellent for your general health as well as that of your complexion, but for truly beautiful skin you need to do more. To help you we can offer you our rich, non-fatty, highly nutritive creams that nourish your skin and return the moisture to it. Applied in the evening - so that they can act throughout the night, the creams combat the daily aggression your skin suffers, and lets you wake up every morning with a peachy complexion.

During pregnancy your skin can become particularly dry as the hydrolipic cells retain the water and produce less of the lubricating sebum needed to keep the skin hydrated. So it's essential that you treat your skin to a rich moisturiser. The skin on your legs and face is particularly affected.

Don't treat mixed or greasy skin as though it were a car to put through the car-wash ! You need to hydrate mixed or greasy skin as much as dry skin in order to maintain the balance of hydration within the epidermis.

Mature skin needs another form of "looking after". From the age of about 50 onwards the body produces less oestrogen, the hormone responsible for the hydration of the skin. As if this weren't enough, the dermis also reduces the sebum production. This double whammy can mean a severe potential drying out of the skin, and therefore a degradation of skin-quality. But this can be avoided, and our creams contain the active ingredients to feed and water your now-delicate epidermis. Look after it and it'll look good for you !

A sign of the skin's dehydration :
If your skin has little lines criss-crossing it, then it's definitely dehydrated and you need to reach for the moisturiser.
