EXPERT ADVICE
The body is 60-70% water. The dermis contains 70% water and the epidermis around 15% water. In fact, water is at the heart of all the biochemical reactions which make up cellular metabolism, so it is absolutely essential for cells to function efficiently.
EXPERT SECRET
What is the secret to smooth, supple skin? Good moisturisation. That’s the skin’s primary need, whatever its condition. For this reason, all Clarins skin care products contain moisturising key ingredients.
CLARINS ADVICE
· Hydrate from the inside.
Drink at least eight glasses of water a day (and more in the Summer to compensate for water lost by perspiration). Avoid soft drinks high in sugar and caffeinated beverages which can be dehydrating.
· Exfoliate.
To help skin breathe and encourage absorption of moisturizing products applied afterwards. And remember to also exfoliate hands and feet !
· Customised moisture.
Age-control moisturisation: Renew-Plus Body Serum. Intensive moisturisation for very dry skin: Moisture-Rich Body Lotion. Express moisturisation: Energising Hydra-Wear Express Body Lotion. Moisture and essential oils: Toning or Relaxing Body Balm. Moisture and fragrance: Eau Ressourçante, Moisturising Body Lotion and Silky-Smooth Body Cream or Eau Dynamisante Moisturising Body Lotion. Apply morning and/or night, over the whole body, including the hands and feet. A "plus" for hands: the rich texture of Hand and Nail Treatment Cream or the more lightweight Age-Control Hand Lotion.
· Gentleness.
Avoid harsh products. Cleanse skin with products that neutralize hard water (Eau Ressourçante Bath & Shower Milk, Eau Dynamisante, Shower Mousse, Tonic or Relax Bath & Shower Concentrate).
· Balance.
Avoid overheated environments, excessive air-conditioning and long baths.
