Don’t let winter damage your skin

Don’t let winter damage your skin
Beautiful woman
Bonjour mesdames!

SOLUTIONS TO YOUR SKIN CARE CONCERNS

During the winter months, our skin is in need of some major TLC. From temperature changes, pollution, low humidity, pollen, and other environmental factors to lifestyle choices, winter can affect the health of your skin.

There are two types of dry skin many women experience –  Dryness (genetically inadequate oil production) and/or Dehydration (inadequate water retention).

Common causes of epidermal dehydration include lifestyle choices, such as smoking, medication or illness; a diet high in salt or stimulants, such as coffee; environmental factors, both heating and air conditioning; or sun damage, which can cause moisture loss.

All of these factors contribute to free-radical damage, contributing to loss of collagen and cell degeneration (read wrinkles and loss of tone and elasticity). Those with redness-prone or rosacea can often experience a higher rate of epidermal dehydration, because the heat present with their condition can encourage water evaporation.

Hormonal changes result in drier skin as we age (a boon to those who have had oily skin issues!). But to most women, visible aging can be accelerated if the skin is not nourished and kept well-hydrated.

Although drinking enough water is vitally important to hydrated skin, this alone cannot prevent dehydration. Even if we drink the right amount of water, if the skin’s barrier is impaired, the water is likely to be lost through TEWL (transepidermal water loss).

Also, if that weren’t enough, dry skin affects the absorption of your skincare products which is why gentle exfoliation, masks and treatments are SO important. This is where we come to the rescue… With our variety of French inspired treatments and products, we can help protect your skin from these environmental hazards and combat fine lines, wrinkles, and a dull, uneven skin tone especially during this critical winter season.

Since it is our commitment to stay on top of the latest innovations in skin care, we will always bring to you the best treatments and products… With A French Touch. We offer a customized, regenerating and relaxing experience with beautiful results.

A FRENCH TOUCH SALON SOLUTIONS

SOTHYS Hydra 3Ha Hyaluronic Acid Facial

123_hydra_sothys

The Hydra 3Ha Ultimate Hydration Facial restores your skin’s capacity to re-hydrate. This luxury treatment meets the hydration needs of all skin types, in particular those with dehydrated or dry skin.

The customized facial works to exfoliate, rehydrate, regenerate, plump and rebalance the skin. The intensive treatment results in a 70% increased hydration after one week.

Hyaluronic acid is well-known as one of the most effective skin-hydrating ingredients. However, it is not always used to its potential when only one type is included in a formulation. SOTHYS combines a low-weight hyaluronic acid to allow hydration to penetrate deeper and more quickly in order to aid in improving elasticity. Additionally, a high-weight hyaluronic acid sits nearer to the surface of the skin and acts similarly to a dermal filler, helping improve surface hydration, and make fine lines and wrinkles appear less visible.

With the main active ingredient being multiple molecular weights of Hyaluronic acid, Hydra 3Ha provides deep hydration and immediately penetrates the skin without leaving heavy residue. Skin appears smoother and visibly younger after being enveloped in this creamy, nourishing line of skincare. After three treatments, results from SOTHYS clinical studies show 100% satisfaction with visibly youthful hydration.
