To guarantee a fresh and radiant complexion and supple skin, it is important to maintain an optimal level of hydration in the skin. This happens primarily internally, by drinking enough (between 1.5 in 2 liters of water per day under normal conditions) and by favoring foods rich in water (zucchini, watermelon, etc.). To provide a boost to skin hydration, you can apply a moisturizing serum topically, such as our organic Elixir des Reines serum.
To maintain the skin’s radiance, it is also important to preserve the hydrolipidic film, which forms a protective barrier on the surface of the epidermis. Composed of ⅔ fat and ⅓ water, it is essential for the proper functioning of your skin and its freshness by protecting it from external aggressions. Vendar, this film is damaged throughout the day and may deteriorate. The skin then becomes more sensitive to irritation and loses its radiance and elasticity. This is why it is recommended to apply an organic moisturizing cream adapted to your skin concerns to help reconstitute the hydrolipidic film while benefiting from the benefits of its active ingredients.
