Dry, dull skin showing signs of stress

Dry skin lacks tonicity and radiance, its texture is uneven, and it accentuates fine lines and wrinkles. Skin dryness leads to an alteration of the skin barrier, resulting in skin unable to perform its defense and repair functions. Stress can also cause skin dryness.

Cleansing is an important step in skin care. If you wear oil-based makeup or SPF during the day, use a gentle oil-based makeup remover, and then follow with a cleanser. A gentle cleanser is half the battle for healthy skin, so choose your cleanser carefully.

Daily Skin Care Routine

For dry skin lacking radiance and showing signs of stress

Morning:

1. Rinse your face with cold water. Gently pat dry, leaving some moisture for the next step.
2. Apply the Cellular Hydration Serum all over your face. The serum boosts skin hydration, restores the skin microbiota, and stimulates cell regeneration. It helps improve skin health and make it more resilient.
3. Massage the Vitamin C Serum-in-Oil all over your face. This serum will repair the skin barrier, hydrate, stimulate collagen, even out skin tone, and provide powerful antioxidants.
4. Take the Skin & Stress food supplement (3 capsules at once) to replenish antioxidant and mineral deficiencies and thus boost skin radiance. For a strengthening course of treatment for 2 months.

Evening:

1. Cleanse your face with the Triple Action Cleanser + cold water. This concentrated cleanser does not foam, and only a small amount is needed. It gently exfoliates and adds a probiotic. Remember that a harsh cleanser will require more serums and creams to balance hydration and repair the skin barrier.
2. Apply the Cellular Hydration Serum all over your face.
3. Apply a light moisturizer (avoid overly rich creams).

Nutrition

Thanks to the new science of Nutrition, healthy eating now has a new purpose. Given the paramount importance of our gut microbiome in overall health and skin health, we should choose foods to nourish our gut microbiome.

Examples of foods that help nourish our microbiome:
- Fiber-rich fruits and vegetables such as oats, broccoli, bananas, apples, cabbage, etc.
- A variety of plant-based foods - aim for a minimum of 30-35 different foods per week (including herbs, spices, seeds, fruits, and vegetables) to improve gut microbiome diversity.

Examples of foods that help restore hormonal balance:
- Healthy fats such as olive oil, flax seeds, crushed hemp seeds, avocado, nuts.
- Omega 3s (fish oil or omega 3 supplements).

Reduce sugar:
- Sugars (including simple carbohydrates) produce more insulin. An increase in insulin leads to an increase in androgens. An increase in androgens leads to an increase in sebum and potentially acne or breakouts.
- In the case of skin aging, sugar causes premature aging through a process called glycation. Glycation irreversibly damages collagen and elastin, leading to skin laxity and wrinkles.

Drink at least 1.5 L of water. With age, changes in body composition, including body temperature regulation, require more water.

Lifestyle

Physical exercise speeds up blood flow, and blood carries oxygen and nutrients to active cells in the body, including the skin. Physical movement is also essential for balancing hormones. Any form of exercise is effective, from brisk walking to strength training. Find an activity you enjoy, and you'll be more likely to stick with it.

Stress management is another key component of health and healthy skin. Incorporate breathing exercises into your life, even if it's just a few minutes a day. Yoga is a great way to combine physical and breathing exercises.

Improve your sleep and take time to relax. Stress is an aggravating factor in premature skin aging, and many people suffer from chronic stress without recognizing the symptoms.
