Lazy: an adjective that sticks to your skin?

🕑 5 minutes

THE ARTICLE IN BRIEF FOR THE READER IN A HURRY:

✔️ Don't wait until wrinkles are visible to start worrying about them. The first ones can start forming as early as age 25!

✔️ The quantity and quality of hyaluronic acid decreases with age in the skin, take care of it without waiting for your 60th birthday, thanks to our dedicated range that adapts to the products you are used to using.

✔️ To prevent your skin from resting while you maintain it, use adapted cosmetic care that will provide active ingredients externally but also stimulate the production of good molecules by your skin itself! This is particularly the case with our Hyaluronic Acid Booster Serum.

Have you ever wondered while applying your cream on your face: am I not making my skin lazy by doing this?

A child who is given the solutions at the same time as the problem does not seek solutions by himself! And what if our skin behaved like this child and stopped making efforts to regenerate itself?

So should we limit cosmetic care before a certain age to avoid making my skin lazy? Not so sure... let me explain everything.

NO ANTI-AGEING CARE BEFORE HAVING WRINKLES: REVELATION OR FALSE GOOD IDEA?

Imagine, it's spring, you're going to plant your cherry tomatoes for summer aperitifs, are you going to wait a month until the plants are wilted and dehydrated before watering them? No, of course not, as a precaution, you'll water them several times a week.

This works the same way for wrinkles. This is especially true since they can take, not up to a month or even a year to form but up to... 5 years!

If you see wrinkles appearing on your face around the age of 30, for example the famous worry lines that cross our forehead (1), it means that they began their formation process around 25!

We are just entering adulthood but our skin is already starting to age, what an injustice! And without wanting to add insult to injury, wrinkles are much more difficult to treat with skincare when they are already visible or worse, deepened.

BARELY AN ADULT, ALREADY AGING! One of the molecules responsible for the formation of wrinkles, especially dehydration lines, is the famous hyaluronic acid I mentioned in my previous article. As I revealed to you, its lifespan in our skin is very short because it is destroyed and renewed every day (2). However, with age, this short degradation-synthesis cycle weakens and we produce less and less until a point you probably can't imagine... At the age of 70, we no longer have a drop of hyaluronic acid in our epidermis! Zero, nada! (3) Then, in addition to this problem of quantity, there is an issue of quality. Not in the epidermis as we no longer have it after 70, but in the dermis. Within this second layer of skin, hyaluronic acid degrades and its ability to retain water also. The gel becomes liquid and less homogeneous, therefore much less effective at plumping the skin than hyaluronic acid produced by young skin!

ANTI-AGEING CARE TO ADOPT FROM A YOUNG AGE?

Given all this data, anti-aging treatments are therefore useful much earlier than you think. But don't panic, there is always a solution with Novexpert! With the Doctors and the scientific team of Novexpert, we have thought for example of a range with hyaluronic acid for everyone, which adapts to the products you are used to using: micellar water, mist, moisturizer, etc. Thus, from 25 years old you can gently start preventing signs of aging on the skin!

CAN OUR SKIN REALLY BECOME LAZY?

Here's what happens in our body: when we are young, our body is in good shape, it is in a state of homeostasis, that is to say, balance. Our cells largely produce the molecules we need. However, as the body ages, its resources diminish and it struggles to maintain this balance. Homeostasis is then disturbed and the body no longer fulfills all its functions correctly. (4) But you can intervene on this balance, especially at the skin level, and you have two options at your disposal:

• Either you only feed your skin by externally providing active ingredients, it will then be filled for a while but also very tempted to stop working by itself! So you take the risk that it takes it easy while you strive to maintain it.
• Or you use adapted skincare. What is behind this term "adapted"? These are care products containing active ingredients that will stimulate our own cells to restart the system, help our body maintain balance. But as the system will never restart 100%, you also need to provide active ingredients that will fill the gap.

ACTING FROM THE OUTSIDE AND FROM THE INSIDE!

It is this second option that we implement within Novexpert: our skincare products provide an external supply of active ingredients and boost our own cells to produce the right molecules themselves.

Our Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid is a very good example of adapted skincare to help your skin maintain balance. It contains a complex sugar that boosts the production of hyaluronic acid by our cells but also pure hyaluronic acid to fill the gap. (5) So, no vacation for your skin, it doesn't rest and continues to produce by itself!

I'm coming to the end of this article so if you were to remember only two aspects I advise you to remember these:

• Don't wait for the appearance of the first wrinkles to take care of your skin. Our Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid is also a very good ally to start treating dehydration lines.
• Choose adapted skincare (like Novexpert's!) that maintain the production of good molecules by your own skin, so there's no risk that it will rely solely on what you provide it with!

IF YOUR SKIN ISN'T LAZY BUT YOU ARE: READ THIS!

If you only want to choose one product for your face so that you don't have to spend too much time looking after your skin, then choose a serum. It is THE most concentrated cosmetic treatment of active ingredients. Etymologically, it is inspired by the blood serum, like it, it is fluid, transparent and very concentrated. Its light, aqueous galenic form allows for rapid and deep penetration.
