WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF SKIN AGING AND OUR INITIAL ESSENTIAL SOLUTIONS?

What are the signs of skin aging?

The first sign of skin aging: deep water loss

Water is stored on the surface in the epidermis but especially deep in the dermis thanks to a large sponge molecule: hyaluronic acid. At 50, there is no more hyaluronic acid in the epidermis and only 50% remains in the dermis. This loss of epidermal and dermal water leads to dehydration of the skin, causing the appearance of fine lines that create dehydration lines.

Wrinkles and loss of firmness have the same origin, the alteration of the dermis. The loss of water in depth is aggravated by the alteration of the structure of the dermis, composed essentially of proteins: collagen, elastin... which constitute the fibrous framework of the skin tissue.

Expression lines have a muscular origin (forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet, etc.): they are caused by muscle tension which puts a lot of strain on the skin and creates areas of hollow tissue.

The sagging of the facial oval is due to gravity. It affects the entire face and occurs later, when the loss of muscle tone and the loss of skin volume is more significant.

Dryness is more pronounced with age because the skin produces less sebum and loses its ability to retain water. In addition, hormonal deprivation, which aggravates the signs, begins around menopause.

Dark spots and loss of radiance are caused by the environment : repeated exposure to the sun without protection, to pollutants, to smoke, etc., which create micro-inflammations that cause the pigment cells to become disrupted.

Institut Esthederm supports the youthfulness of your skin in the long term 

Cleansing is the first step in rejuvenating your skin

Impurities and pollution are pro-inflammatory agents that generate oxidation and accelerate aging. Deep cleansing is therefore essential , provided that we respect the skin and its communities of bacteria that protect us, the famous microbiome. At Institut Esthederm, it is a professional method : it is called "skin preparation". A kind of cleansing gym that stimulates the skin and prepares it to receive the active ingredients of the treatments. This is OSMOCLEAN and the iconic products of Deep Pore Cleansing and Buffing Mask. 

Every day, your skin needs water, therefore hydration… and antioxidants

Life and breathing produce energy. This energy involves oxygen and its oxidizing free radicals, the balance of which must be managed. Young skin knows how to do this well, but over time and with environmental aggressions, the skin adapts less quickly. It is therefore necessary to give the skin the antioxidant boost that helps it manage in the long term, this is the role of Cellular Water. Patented, it is included in the composition of all Institut Esthederm products, and makes the products 100% active. It's simple: rich in antioxidants and molecules that are beneficial for cells, it provides them with the essentials to continuously strengthen themselves and live in perfect health.

Your skin has no age, it has needs that change over time and with the seasons. Even if age is an indicator, your skin's age is not necessarily that of the calendar. Your skincare routine must adapt to your lifestyle and respond precisely to each of your needs: dehydration, nutrition, wrinkles, dull complexion, sagging... whatever your age. Institut Esthederm research has developed patented synergies of active ingredients that preserve the youthfulness of your skin in the long term. The expertise of our formulas and the sensoriality of our textures are reflected in complete lines of care adapted to the needs of each skin, with scientific evidence to support it.

Firming body skin

Although the body is better protected from aging, the skin nevertheless changes differently depending on the areas of the body:

The legs and outer arms are more susceptible to dry skin, so nourishing oils rich in essential fatty acids are the most suitable products.

The inside of the arms and thighs, the stomach, are the first areas to sag. It is therefore necessary to replace your body moisturizer very early with an anti-sagging treatment, which helps to compensate for the loss of volume of the dermis.

For cellulite and orange peel skin , don't forget that a specific attack treatment, or an energy-activating treatment applied all year round to stubborn areas can visibly improve the appearance of the skin. Textures are very important: a product applied with pleasure guarantees regularity, the key to effectiveness! Hydration, slimming, firmness, exfoliation, so many body solutions from Institut Esthederm to meet the needs of each area thanks to expert technologies and proven results.
