Hydration and radiance: the key to radiant skin

Moisturizing the skin is essential to maintain its suppleness, softness and protective barrier.
When well hydrated, skin is luminous and plump.
In the face of stress, pollution or an unsuitable skincare routine, skin can quickly lose its radiance and suppleness.

So it's essential to understand how it works, so you can look after it in the best possible way.

The skin and its need for water

Hydrated skin is skin that effectively retains water in its various layers.
Water allows it to :

  • Maintain elasticity and firmness
  • Ensure proper cell renewal
  • Protect the body from external aggressors such as pollutants and bacteria

Hydration and radiance are intimately linked: dehydrated skin tends to look dull and tired.
 

The 3 layers of skin

The skin is a complex, layered organ, with several layers playing specific roles in protection, regeneration and hydration.

  • The epidermis, the surface layer
  • The dermis: the intermediate layer
  • Hypodermis: the deep layer

Understanding the skin's structure helps you choose the right skincare products for your needs.

To moisturize, treatments must reach theepidermis and sometimes the dermis.
To improve firmness or treat wrinkles, the dermis must be targeted.
To reshape or treat fatty deposits, techniques must act on thehypodermis.

How to moisturize your skin

Hydration involves two types of intake: external and internal.

  • Visit external inputs refer to moisturizers (creams, serums, toners, etc.):
    • Creams reinforce the lipid barrier to limit water loss, while serums penetrate deeply to retain water in the skin's upper layers.
  • L'internal contribution comes down to hydration through diet:
    •  Drinking enough water nourishes the dermis, where water is stored before being distributed to the other layers.
    • A diet rich in antioxidants (fruit, vegetables) protects cells from damage and promotes optimal hydration.
