1 / In your opinion today, what are the users of beauty treatments waiting for?

Currently, when we look at the studies that are being done on this subject, we notice a major upward trend: the dimension of personalization of beauty treatment. This trend has developed the use of targeted care and the creation of personalized care routines. Obviously, we have always had the habit of using treatments according to our skin type. But today, our women realize that the needs are not the same according to the seasons, their lifestyle, the times of the day… The impact of the environment on the needs of the skin is very important. . We have therefore created Collagen Boosters, which provide targeted molecules such as Vitamin C or Retinol for example. These boosters fit into the daily skincare routine and precisely and punctually reinforce the various actions: hydration, elasticity, radiance, nutrition. Boosters are therefore tailor-made treatments that everyone can use according to their current needs. A few drops in the palm of your hand, applied pure or mixed with its moisturizer, when you feel like it.

2 / Vitamin C is a molecule present at the heart of your boosters formulas, can you tell us more about its benefits?

We have launched two Boosters: one to meet the need for radiance and the other to meet the needs for density and firmness with an anti-wrinkle action: the Radiance Booster with Vitamin C and the Lift Booster with Retinol. Vitamin It is the benchmark active ingredient for radiance. It is anti-oxidant, and thus protects the skin from free radicals and on the other hand it lightens melanin, a brown to black pigment responsible for the dark coloring of the skin installed on the surface and thus gives a real boost to the skin.

3 / Many of us are concerned about the signs of aging that appear. How do you respond to this problem?

Resultime is a laboratory specializing in anti-aging care. For 60 years, our laboratory’s expertise has been based on collagen: the natural component of the skin that plays the most role in its youth, since it ensures firmness and resistance. From the age of 20, we lose 1% of collagen per year. It is therefore fundamental to restore this capital if we wish to correct and limit the appearance of signs of aging. But the collagen molecule is too big a molecule to penetrate the skin if applied directly. We have therefore developed an exclusive patented technology: vectorized micro-collagen, a small fragment of collagen that immediately penetrates the skin and in turn stimulates it to produce its own collagen. This active ingredient is at the heart of all of our skincare and of our Boosters. The Collagen Serum Gel with plumping collagen, which is the No. 1 collagen serum sold in pharmacies, is therefore our star product. You can also mix the Boosters with this serum to obtain more radiance or firmness, according to your own needs. The Retinol Booster Lift is particularly recommended for preventing the signs of aging: retinol is a powerful active ingredient for cell renewal which stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. By helping to maintain the thickness of the dermis, retinol contributes to the youthfulness of the skin.

Unlike dry skin, combination skin is often difficult to pinpoint, and it can be difficult to know how to care for it. For good reason, combination skin displays a certain ambivalence since it has dry areas and others with a rather oily tendency. And since we are obliged to wear a mask all day long, many of us have to play the balancing act to best respond to hydration needs and dullness of our face. Slow cosmetics enthusiasts will love this facial fumigation (or facial sauna), a homemade treatment offered by Peau neuve, beauty influencer.

The steam bath, a treat for combination skin

“Facial fumigation is like a mini sauna for the face, a very important step in purifying the face” explains the influencer. The benefits of this treatment are multiple:

• Steam penetrates blocked pores.
• It is a deep treatment that facilitates the extraction of comedones.
• The face is purified, fresh and the oily areas are reduced.
• Fumigation has a double action, cutaneous and respiratory, it is a real moment of relaxation which cleans the skin.

Here is the mini facial sauna recipe for combination skin oily and or acne (blotchy and irritated skin to refrain).

The ingredients for facial fumigation

• 2 tablespoon of lemon hydrosol
• 1 tablespoon of rosemary verbenone hydrosol
• 2 drops of tea tree essential oil
• 2 drops of verbenone rosemary essential oil

Preparing the steam bath

1. Boil some water and place it in a bowl.
2. Add the mixture of hydrosols and essential oils.
3. Place your clean face over the bowl on a stable stand and completely cover your head with a towel. Enjoy the benefits of this flavored vapor for up to 10 minutes. Take advantage of this moment to relax and breathe in the natural scent of plants.

Treatments that pamper the skin

After the facial sauna, apply a mask or scrub and always finish with cold water or a cold lemon or peppermint hydrosol, the best for tightening the pores.

Then apply your night (or day) cream depending on the time of day.

Precautions for use

To properly eliminate impurities and maximize the benefits of care, it is advisable to perform this steam bath twice a month maximum, before a scrub or a mask. We always end a fumigation with a treatment that tightens the pores otherwise they will clog again and this treatment will be of no use. If the steam is too hot, wait a little, one or two minutes. As the goal is not to burn yourself, the skin should not touch the water. This treatment is pleasant and non-aggressive. It does not keep.
Due to the presence of essential oils, it is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

The two keys to protected skin, even in cold weather? Adapt your diet and use beauty products with creamy formulas.

1-Preserve your lips

Their thin skin, devoid of sebaceous glands, is not resistant to wind and cold. We adopt a balm enriched with vegetable butter (cotton, shea) that we apply generously throughout the day, and in the evening before going to bed.

Advice in +:

• We change the lip balm formula regularly, otherwise the skin gets used to it and the treatment becomes less effective.
• When you leave a hydrating face mask on, you think of applying it to the lips, for an extra soft mouth.

2-Apply a protective complexion product

We play the mille-feuilles effect, like a windbreaker placed on the skin. We superimpose moisturizing serum and day cream, then we add a BB or CC cream, enriched with moisturizing and protective active ingredients, sometimes equipped with an anti UV filter. It acts as a shield against external aggressions and it evens out the complexion.

3-Target your makeup products

On the eyes and the cheeks we favor oily textures, much more comfortable and less drying than powders. They have a silky and ultra luminous finish, very suitable for the low light of winter.

4-Remineralize your body

Under the effect of stress and an unbalanced diet, the body becomes acidic. We find an alkaline balance when diving 3 evenings in a row in a bath enriched with salt d’Epsom rich in magnesium (2 mugs of salt for a 15-minute immersion). We go out relaxed, and the body is full of minerals. Our cells evolve in a favorable ecosystem and our skin is better hydrated.

5-Eat green

We adopt a “beautiful skin” smoothie in the morning, composed of 50% green leafy vegetables (rich in magnesium and potassium) and 50% seasonal fruits. We add flax seeds, rich in anti-inflammatory omega 3, perfect for sensitive skin. These seeds also contribute to the proper functioning of the intestines, an essential factor to display a beautiful complexion.

Qf you want to play daring with effects that you don’t dare the rest of the year, or that you just prefer to accentuate your everyday look, end-of-year eve’s are here. opportunity to wear makeup a little more than usual. In any case, give way to your imagination to create a make-up that looks like you.

• The black trump : it is the timeless classic and elegant color. It is suitable for all skin tones and all irises.
• The touch of gold : this luminous shade suits almost all skin tones. It can be a little bland on fair skin tones, so prefer a pink gold or a white gold.
• The pinch of glitter : it is the festive touch par excellence, and, contrary to popular belief, you can modulate their intensity and associate them with all the nuances.
• The desire for nude : naturalness works every time, as long as you don’t go wrong with the shade and slightly enhance your skin tone.

If you have dry skin and tight features

This is characterized by uncomfortable dryness, more pronounced fine lines and a less drawn oval. To regain a healthy glow, you can play on hydration and stimulation of the skin, both in skincare and makeup.

In order to find a healthier skin, nothing like super-rehydration using a nourishing, moisturizing or anti-aging mask. Your choice: a cream formula applied all night over a serum, a biocellulose mask or other new texture on which is impregnated a treatment concentrated in active vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

• The trick: pamper the skin of the face by offering it a silk pillowcase, which protects against friction. And for better penetration, apply your cream 1 hour before bedtime.

We go to self-massage

Stimulating the skin with the fingers increases its suppleness, elasticity and firmness. On a daily basis, these quick and easy actions can really make a difference.

• The trick: apply serumand cream with upward smoothing movements, from the inside to the outside of the face. Finish with tapping with your fingertips.

We smooth the epidermis

With a BB cream, easy to apply with your fingertips on the T zone (by stretching it towards the outside of the face), which brings hydration and uniformity to the skin. If we need more coverage, we choose a foundationt very fluid, to which we can add a few drops of dry oil. A good compromise between comfort and radiance, without making the skin shine too much. Only the T zone is then powdered if necessary.

• The trick: to make small touch-ups during the day, use a matte corrective stick, preferably with a powder which risks marking the lines.

We plump up his mouth

A sad mouth can make you look tired. It is rehydrated using a nourishing balm (based on wax and vegetable oil). Like a base, it will smooth the lips and allow the rouge to set better.

The trick: applied with a finger or a brush, starting with the heart and without marking the contours too much, a warm, orange-red shade immediately illuminates the face.

If you have a cloudy complexion

Mask, fine particles, cigarette smoke, blue light … The skin is subjected to many attacks on a daily basis. In particular, the combination of UV rays and pollution which increases oxidative stress on the skin. As a result, it thickens and the face looks dull. So, what to do about loss of radiance, uneven skin tone or small redness?

We refine the skin texture

To gently exfoliate the skin, it is better to use exfoliators made from fruit acids rather than grains. Thus, both irritating the epidermis and over-mobilizing the skin tissues which are fragile are avoided. There are also specific masks, the exposure time of which varies, depending on the dosage of AHA (fruit acids) and the type of skin.

• The trick: easy to use, the peeling lotion is applied in the evening with a cotton pad, before the night cream, two or three times a week.

We wake up his complexion

It is better to avoid using a foundation and prefer a simple concealer, which will serve as a foundation and corrector product, after the application of the serum and the day cream.

The trick: it is applied in small strokes to stretch with the fingers, only on the T zone and where the skin needs to be touched up (to hide pimples, redness …).

We protect our skin

By choosing treatments that not only provide good hydration, but also provide internal and external protection. Thus, the day cream must contain good moisturizers (hyaluronic acid, glycerin), to maintain water in the skin, and especially shielding ingredients such as antioxidants, and possibly sun filters. Be careful not to choose it too oily if the skin does not need it.

The trick: several times a day, we do not hesitate to spray an anti-pollution moisturizing mist in order to reinforce the barrier effect of the treatments.

We make a good look

A touch of blush is essential to finalize a radiance boost on the face. Better to forget terracottas and rosewoods, because these rather dull tones tend to gray the complexion.

The trick: choose brighter roses, in gel or cream texture, more transparent and therefore brighter than a powder. Apply on the rounded cheek while smiling at the mirror, using a large synthetic bristle brush or with the fingers by light tapping.

If you have dark circles or bags under your eyes

The eye area is a very vulnerable area, because it is very stressed while the skin is extremely thin. “Dehydration, irritation, water accumulation and sagging appear quickly”, emphasizes Karine Gautier, head of aesthetic training at LPG. Hence the importance of care to limit the appearance of puffiness, crow’s feet and colored or hollow circles.

We erase dark circles

Whether they are bluish, brown or yellow, you must use first a concealerliquid, chosen a little lighter than the foundation, but not too much so as not to gray the skin: ivory for light skin, beige for “mediums” and orange for dark skin.

• The trick: tap the material with your finger under the eye and make a fade with the cheek. Then superimpose a cream stick a warmer tone, still patting without smoothing.

We hydrate morning and evening

By choosing the right galenic. When it is neither too greasy nor too thick, it is quite possible to apply an eye contour treatment also in the evening, without risking waking up with swollen eyes in the morning. On the other hand, avoid putting your face cream on this area, because its texture is more oily.

• The trick: care is taken to deposit it in very small quantities and at a good distance from the mucous membrane of the eye to avoid irritating it.

We find a keen eye

We must open our eyes, by “working” it upwards. Make up only the upper eyelid: with a dark brown pencil rather than black, for the eyeliner line, then a black mascara to dress the eyelashes by stretching them outwards.

• The trick: add a bronze eyeshadow on the eyelid to bring light, without forgetting to redraw the line of the eyebrows with a dark brown pencil, or lighter if you have blond hair.

We are talking more and more about anti-pollution cosmetics. For good reason, it’s not just our lungs who toast polluted air. Our skin too. In this niche of available products, anti-pollution mist is doing well. We tell you what it is for and how to use it.

To know

Some also protect the skin from the blue light emitted by screens.

The anti-pollution mist serves as a protective shield

Thanks to an imperceptible and non-sticky film, made up of extracts of algae or sugars, which against attack by fine particles. This mesh allows the skin to breathe and greatly limits the adhesion of pollution to the skin and its penetration. It can also be used on the hair to preserve it.

The mist hydrates and refreshes

Mainly made up ofwater, sometimes thermal, it refreshes at any time of the day. Moisturizing ingredients (sorbitol, aloe vera, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, floral waters…) will prevent the dehydrationcaused by surrounding pollution.

This treatment fixes makeup

Sprayed on the skin, this light protective film fixes the makeup that has just been applied. And it gives it shine and freshness by repeating the gesture during the day, as many times as you want.

The mist preserves free radicals

The antioxidants (vitamin E, green tea, ginseng …) it contains will counter the deleterious effects of pollution, while active ingredients (chlorella, dandelion, moringa …) will detoxify and re-oxygenate the skin. We know that pollution (fine particles, ozone and gas) and exposure to UVA rays and visible light multiply by 3.5 the oxidative effects, responsible for premature skin aging (source L’Oréal Recherche).

How to use mist on a daily basis

When to use it?

How to use it ?

Spray 20 cm from the face, neck and décolleté, but also on the hair and hands. Leave to dry for 10 seconds. Repeat the operation as necessary.

How not to be burdened with a multitude of products while continuing to hydrate the skin, to apply makeup and to comb your hair? By adopting smart tricks. By diverting care from its usual use. By also using “all in one” cosmetics: they are aimed at women who are short of time, at all those who need maximum efficiency, all without unnecessarily weighing down their toiletry bag. With the advice and tips of our experts, Marie Fritsch, hairdresser Montecino-Aveda, Dr Pascale Neulat, dermatologist and Miky Lagadec, makeup artist, here are ideas to get by with the minimum of beauty tools.

The essentials after sport

With effort and perspiration, the skin heats up and loses minerals. The chlorine present in swimming pool water can also dry out the skin. As for the hair, it needs to be refreshed. A beauty kit is therefore never superfluous in a sports bag. More and more targeted cosmetics offer a maximum of practicality and efficiency for sportswomen in the form of 2 in 1 products in nomadic format.

I rehydrate my skin

Tightness, feelings of discomfort, redness, dehydration and loss of radiance are often the fate of sportswomen after exercise. To soothe the skin and restore its suppleness, adopt a formula with a light texture so as not to shine, but concentrated in vitamins and minerals. Cleanse without rubbing the skin with a special gentle cleansing wipe for sensitive skin in order to remove dirt and salt from perspiration. Then apply the treatment in small touches on the face.

I redo a pretty complexion

No face powderon hand ? Apply powder directly to your day cream using a large brush. Lightly rub your face with the palm to adhere the powder to the cream and thus obtain the effect of a mattifying foundation.

I divert my day cream

Your moisturizer can help you out with:

• moisturize dry areas your body (legs, arms, neckline);
• make a mask by applying it in a thick layer: the cream becomes occlusive and allows better penetration of lipids into the epidermis;
• untangle your hairby heating a dab of cream in your hands before distributing it evenly over the half-lengths and wrung out ends.

I replace my brushes

• By cotton: apply the blush by tapping the cotton on the skin, then make a small movement back and forth to blend the material.
• By a cotton swab to soften the outline of the pencils, camouflage a button with concealer, apply eye shadow or lipstick.

I do my hair without a hairdryer

• After shampooing, adopt the “2 in 1” principle with a leave-in spray that is both care, detangling and styling to reform curls, control frizz or give support. Wring out your hair and spray. Using a headband or bar, secure a notch or buckle.
• For straighten hair, plate them back and tie them with a ponytail. Create waves with braids on wet hair before releasing them as soon as the hair is dry.

My must-have beauty while camping

Whether in the countryside or in the mountains, the backpack should as far as possible contain the minimum survival for your skin as for your hair. Multipurpose products, easily diverted cosmetics and lightweight products are yours.

I switch to “product economy” mode

• If taking a shower is complicated, opt for a cat toilet using a micellar water on the body or make-up removing wipes.
• To zap body milk, use a cleansing gel with integrated moisturizing active ingredients or a washing oil in the shower.
• On scrub occasionally, pass a washcloth all over your body to lightly exfoliate the skin by rubbing it.

I put on makeup in pencil

• To replace an eyeshadow on the eyes, hatch the mobile eyelid horizontally with a grease pencil (blue, green, gray, brown, golden …). Then blend with the tip of the index finger to obtain a more or less intense shade. Then draw a pencil line along the lashes and blur the edge of the line.
• With a soft lead pencil (red, pink, brown …), first draw the outline, then color the inside of your lips. Homogenize everything with a touch of balm. Thanks to the pigments of the pencil, it is a long-lasting and ultra-shiny lipstick that can even be used as a blush on the finger.

I untangle my hair without the fuss

A comb takes up less space than a brush, but it can damage the hair fiber especially if the hair is long. Here is how to do a disentangling without risk of breakage.

• With your fingers, hold a wick by its tip, start by disentangling it by raising the comb step by step to the root. Strand by strand, you will gently remove knots.
• If your hair has a lot of volume, start at the nape of the neck, always strand after strand, gradually pulling back the mass of hair.
• If a knot resists, take a little moisturizer and soak it well. Detangling will be easier!

How to keep skin bright, stay stylish, reduce signs of fatigue and lighten your legs during the flight? Our beauty tips from an air hostess.

Hydration, an essential beauty of the trip

Hydration is the number 1 goal for protect your skin. The dry air from the plane tends to dry out the skin of the face, lips and body. We do not hesitate to take our range of rehydrating treatments in their beauty vanity in the cabin: your choice in travel size (less than 100 mL), in wipes, or in small jars purchased in which we have poured a small quantity of this usual care. Which cosmetics to favor? A moisturizing cream or gel for the face, a hand cream, a lip balm, for example. “When my lips are too dry to apply lipstick, I stick to tinted lip balm,” advises flight attendant Rakel Grimsdottir.

Skin prepared for a long-haul flight

The most organized can think of a few tips before the trip, especially if the flight promises to be long. Rakel Grimsdottir has a habit of preparing his skin by making himself a moisturizing mask at night before a long flight. If you don’t have one, applying a moisturizer in a thick layer does the trick, according to the flight attendant.

Little tip: before leaving, put your eye contour gel and a repairing cream in the fridge to treat yourself to fresh treatments when you return from your trip. The cold has an astringent effect which tightens the pores. Perfect for smoothing out lines.

Against “heavy legs”

People prone to heavy legs phenomenonand of Water retention are often inconvenienced by plane, especially when the trip is long. Atmospheric pressure hinders the good blood circulation and blood may stagnate in the ankles and legs, causing slight swelling. To limit this inconvenience, a few tips exist: eat less salt the few days before departure and try to raise

his legs to the maximum during the flight. You leave your seat from time to time and move around the plane a bit to lighten your legs. We also avoid wearing clothes that are too tight. No more stretch pants, we prefer a loose and comfortable outfit. Socks or stockings

contention, by supporting dilated veins, can be helpful in relieving the legs.

A hairstyle that holds on the plane

Avoid over-worked hairstyles that hardly stay in place during long haul. We choose one that respects its nature of hair. “Having very long and thick hair, I often opt for a braided bun”, gives as an example Rakel Grimsdottir. On the maintenance side, the air hostess has her accessories: “a dry shampoo, flat tongs, a spray of hairspray and some rubber bands”. Passengers can opt for more lightness: ponytail, braid or loose hair.

Appropriate makeup

To wear a fresh and rested face on the plane, the flight attendant has to adhere to a well-established beauty routine: she first applies a luminous base (primer) to the face and around the eyes. “She gives me good looks while remaining natural“. Rakel Grimsdottir then raises his complexion with a bronzer but we can be satisfied with a hint of blush on the top of the temples (see our article Summer favorite beauty trends) or a BB cream that illuminates and hydrates at the same time.

Light drawing of the eyebrows (the trend is natural eyebrows), a touch of mascara. The whole thing is fixed with a fixing base for make-up such as is available on the market. Another option: spray a little thermal water on your make-up, which moisturizes, fixes and soothes, before taking the plane.

Against the “jet lag” effect on the skin

Here too, hydration is essential. “You have to drink a lot of water, before and during the flight! Insists our flight attendant. To give you an idea, I always set myself the goal of drinking at least half a liter of water during each flight” .
Against fatigue on arrival, a walk, a yoga session or a little exercise can be a good way to reduce the effects. The lucky ones who arrive at their holiday destination and have the opportunity to take a bath can take a dip in a swimming pool or in the sea for a little fresh air.

Long synonymous with virility, the beard is however losing ground according to a recent survey carried out by OpinionWay for the brand Bic shave club and conducted among 1063 French people.

In this study (unusual, we grant you) we first learn that 84% of French people shave every week and 32% even shave every day. Daily shaving is more for men aged 50 and over, 44% of whom have adopted this routine.

The beard is also a question of geography: shaved men are more numerous in the northern half of France, while in the South and in the Paris region, bearded men remain in the majority.

The three-day beard, still trendy

A split that follows socio-professional categories for Christian Bromberger, professor of ethnology at the University of Provence: “there are more CSP + in the south-east than in the north-east of the country: the study confirms a slight superiority in terms of facial hair of CSP + compared to CSP-. ”

The beard, a “young thing”? Indeed, between 25 and 34 years, 92% of men wear a beard while those over 35 prefer a shaved face at 53%. The figure rises to 60% of those over 50 shaved.

On the style side, young people prefer fairly short hair styles, such as the (famous) three-day beard (33%) or the short, well-trimmed beard (14%). The mustache and sideburns, for their part, are considered “old-fashioned” by more than 30% of the French; the big beard provided hipster style attracts only 2% of respondents.

Cosmetic products today promise to last all day, not to run and fight perspiration for more than 72 hours. Top Santé takes stock of these promises.

Make-up that lasts from morning to night

A perfect complexion even after sweating, a flawless lipstick at the end of the day, or a mascara that resists a workout, it is now possible. Thanks to a common technology: formulation without water.

• A transfer-free foundation

It is put to the test, between perspiration and sebum! And it must not leave marks on clothes, that the powders mark wrinkles or that it is no longer uniform. It is thanks to the volatile silicones which make it possible to create non-greasy supports that we obtain more resistant and covering formulas. Once evaporated, the polymer gels form like a magnetic mesh that fixes powders and pigments on the skin for a long-lasting hold that does not migrate.

• A mascara that does not run

We know the mascaras waterproof, with infallible hold, but difficult to remove. Today, even the “normal versions” operate from morning to night without overflow. “The powders are increasingly fine, in order to coat the eyelashes without friability, and new polymers make it possible to obtain an ultra-thin film. Thus, the eyelash is curved, almost nourished, ”explains Élisabeth Bouhadana, head of scientific communication at L’Oréal Paris. And the brush is also important for precise application of mascara. “In order to measure its hold, microcameras attached to glasses take photos of the product on the eyelashes and follow its development throughout the day.

We were thus able to measure a 24-hour outfit without any problem, ”comments the scientific manager.

• Lipsticks always present

For a long time, it was necessary to choose between a lipstick that held, but dried the lips, or a comfortable but unstable rouge. It is the rise of liquid reds that has allowed the evolution of lipstick formulas to offer ultra-pigmented and stable products. The pigment concentration is 10 to 15% higher than that of red sticks, and they do not contain waxes. There are therefore mainly synthetic oils, ultra-fine and occlusive, which will fix the pigments and pearl on the lip while maintaining a supple texture. The deposited film is thin, which gives a “materialless” effect and a hold of up to twelve hours, while remaining comfortable.

Our advice

To adopt, if you want an infallible makeup from morning to night. Or if you have an evening where your beauty must remain impeccable. Or if you go to a hot and humid country, and you don’t want to change your makeup habits.

Creams that hydrate longer

More and more moisturizers for the face or for the body claim 48 hours of hydration (at Diadermine, Nuxe or Biotherm for the face). Which may seem strange, because by removing make-up, we necessarily remove the care of the skin. If these products display such information, it is because the efficacy tests (carried out before the product was put on the market) showed a markedly improved hydration rate 48 hours after application.

• Moisturizers, face or body, often contain glycerin. At an optimal rate, between 5 and 15%, this active ingredient has exceptional properties: it brings water to the skin, retains that already present and slows down the insensible water loss (PIE).

• In body care, it is associated with oils and vegetable or synthetic butters.

• For the face, it is combined with two types ofhyaluronic acids : “One of high molecular weight which retains water on the surface, and another, fractionated, which keeps water in the structures of the epidermis and boosts the synthesis of hyaluronic acid in the skin. This gives you very good long-acting moisturizers, ”explains Élisabeth Bouhadana.

• Other ingredients also have good results, such asaloe vera or even urea.

• Another factor explaining long-lasting hydration capacities: the evolution of galenics. “Liquid cosmetics, close to plasma, have a stronger affinity with the skin than creams. Penetration is immediate and without occlusive effect. The hydrating effect is 48 to 72 hours! »Continues the specialist.

Our advice

Whenever you need hydration, these treatments are for you. And more, if you have the dry skin, sensitive or very exposed to the elements.

Deodorants effective for several days

When the deodorants without aluminum salts most often display a maximum effectiveness of one day, antiperspirants, they go up to 48 hours! And some products, formulated for excessive sweating, advertise 72 hours of effectiveness … But why are they more efficient?

• It is often a higher quantity of aluminum salts than in basic products which allows greater efficiency and a longer duration.

• Some formulas combine aluminum salts with another ingredient, such as magnesium oxide (from Vichy or L’Oréal Paris), which acts like small sponges.

• Others, essential oils or other anti-bacterial active ingredients (perfume, etc.) to prevent the formation of odors.

• In the most “long-lasting” products, we can find all three types of ingredients, or even microcapsules with a gradual release of perfume, which are activated as the product is produced. transpiration.

Our advice

These products are essential if you are one of the 4 million French people who have a problem of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Otherwise, don’t use them on a regular basis. You can adopt them on an ad hoc basis, for example in the event of a great physical effort or a stressful event that could trigger excessive sweating (meeting, exam …). The rest of the time, it is better to stay on a classic antiperspirant, or a deodorant if you do not sweat a lot.

Whether called peeling, peel or AHA, these treatments allow you to find in a few weeks a uniform complexion, radiance and, in the longer term (more than 3 months), a smoothed skin. A few years ago, these products had to be rinsed out or “buffered” with a second treatment which restored the correct pH to the skin. Today, these peels have softer formulas, with innovative galenics and are much easier to use. Advice before you start.

Homemade peels: what’s in it?

They are based on the same active ingredients as dermatological peels, but at lower concentrations. These are fruit acids: AHAs (alpha-hydro xy-acids), for a facelift, BHAs (beta-hydroxy-acids), for deep cleansing, or PHA (poly-hydroxy-acids ), more hydrating than AHAs and antioxidants.

Is it for all skin types?

By choosing the right concentration and adapting their use, these treatments are suitable for most skin types. With the exception of very sensitive skin with redness, or suffering from rosacea, as well as dark phototypes which risk an inflammatory reaction and hyper-pigmentation. But beware: as they are photosensitizers, it is better to apply them in the evening. If it is a formula to be put in the morning, it must be combined with an anti-UV cream SPF 50 for the duration of the treatment.

How to use a homemade peel?

“For a cosmetic peel, we recommend a course of one to two months, once or twice a year, after summer and winter. Starting with a low-dose treatment, and increasing the concentration as you go. and as. A certain number of women even use these treatments throughout the year, taking a break during the summer. Because it should be remembered that these products are photosensitizers and should therefore not be applied when you are exposed to the sun, ”explains Audrey Talayrach.

How do they work?

Initially, these molecules work by weakening the bonds between the cells of the stratum corneum, thus leading to the desquamation of the dead cells, which has the effect of unclogging the pores and smoothing the skin.

“This also causes stimulation of renewal enzymes, by lowering the pH of the skin below 4 (knowing that the physiological pH is 5.5)”, explains Audrey Talayrach, general manager of the Eneomey laboratory.

“Glycolic acid (AHA) is the most common and the most effective because, with its small molecule, it has a stronger penetration into the skin. Over the course of the applications, it sends regenerative messages from the epidermis to the skin. ‘in the dermis, and boosts the production of collagen, elastin and dermal matrix, “she adds. Lactic acid (AHA) is rather chosen for the radiance, because it stays on the surface.

Salicylic acid (BHA) acts on the seborrhea of oily and blemish-prone skin.

Are homemade peels well supported on the skin?

Yes, but they can still cause concerns of intolerance because, as their name suggests, they are acidic. This is why some brands prefer to use PHAs, such as gluconolactone or lactobionic acid. “They penetrate less quickly, but are also antioxidants and more hydrating than glycolic acid, and not photosensitizing”, describes Charlotte de Reals, marketing director of the NeoStrata brand. Better tolerated, they can thus be applied all year round.

It needs light concentrations (10%) to wake up the radiance and boost the cells of the dermis without aggressiveness.

What is the difference with the cosmetic peel?

The superficial peel, performed by a dermatologist, has a higher concentration of glycolic acid (20 to 70%). “There are 3 steps: after makeup removal, a preparatory lotion is applied, which lowers the skin’s pH, then the peel is applied with a brush for a few minutes, then neutralized”, describes Dr. Valérie Philippon, aesthetic doctor.

“This treatment is recommended when the skin is dull and loses its flexibility, for 4 sessions 2-3 weeks apart.” Around 150 € per session.
