Dry, dull skin showing signs of stress

Dry skin lacks tone and radiance, its texture is uneven and it accentuates wrinkles and fine lines. Dry skin leads to an alteration of the skin barrier, generating skin that is unable to do its job of defense and repair. Stress can also cause dry skin.

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 up with a cleanser. A gentle cleanser is half the battle for healthy skin, so choose your cleanser wisely.

Daily Skin Care Routine

For dry skin lacking radiance and showing signs of stress

Morning :

1. Rinse your face with cool water. Gently pat dry, leaving some moisture for the next step.
2. Apply Cellular Hydration Serum to the entire face. The serum strengthens skin hydration, restores skin microbiota and stimulates cell regeneration. It helps improve skin health and make it more resilient.
3. Massage the entire face with the Vitamin C Serum-in-Oil . This serum will repair the skin barrier, hydrate, stimulate collagen, even out skin tone and add powerful antioxidants.
4. Take the Skin & Stress food supplement (3 capsules at once) to fill deficiencies in antioxidants and minerals and thus stimulate the skin's radiance. As a strengthening treatment for 2 months.

Evening :

1. Cleanse your face with Triple Action Cleanser + cold water. This concentrated cleanser doesn’t foam and only a small amount is needed. It gently exfoliates and adds a probiotic. Keep in mind that a harsh cleanser will require more serums and creams to balance moisture and repair the skin barrier.
2. Apply Cellular Hydration Serum to the entire face.
3. Apply a light moisturizer (avoid creams that are too rich).

Nutrition

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

Examples of foods that help feed our microbiome :
- High fiber fruits and vegetables such as oats, broccoli, bananas, apples, cabbages, etc.
- Varied 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 like olive oil, flax seeds, crushed hemp seeds, avocado, nuts.
- Omega 3 (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 pimples.
- In the case of skin aging, sugar causes premature aging through a process called glycation. Glycation irreversibly damages collagen and elastin, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles.

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

Hygiene of life

Exercise increases blood flow, and blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body's active cells, 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 doing, 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.
