Ingredient Showcase – Glyconutrients from the Sea

Académie Scientifique de Beauté Leave a comment

Origin:

Laminaria from the Iroise Sea
(Brittany coast, France)

Specificity:

A glyconutrient from the sea composed of fucoses. It plays a major role in the skin physiology as it is a constituent of the cellular receptors. It allows  regulation of the inflammation, the protection of the extracellular matrix and its regeneration. High contents in fucoidans.

Actions:

The extracellular matrix in dermis is composed of a molecular network (collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans) between fibroblasts which ensures the skin’s structure.

When  deterioration and repair of this system are imbalanced, lines appear and skin loses in firmness.

Fucoidans protect this network by:

• inhibiting enzymes involved in extracellular matrix deterioration
  such as matrix-metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9)

• protecting cells by lowering the oxidative stress

• decreasing the pro-inflammatory cytokines which damage the collagen

• protecting against the advanced glycation endproducts formation which induce     inhibition of the collagen synthesis.

Fucoidans also act as a repairing agent by:

• stimulating metabolism of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis

• stimulating elastin biosynthesis and glycosaminoglycans synthesis.

With these 2 synergistic actions, the glyconutrient from the sea helps to reverse the signs of ageing by bringing back the skin’s structure and firmness.

Beauty Tricks & Tips for Sensitive Lips

Académie Scientifique de Beauté Leave a comment

S.O.S

    Sensitive Lips!

Extremely fragile, lips and their contours have many physiological features requiring specific attentions:

  • Thinner skin
  • Constant tightening of orbicularis muscles when breathing, speaking, eating…
  • Frequent dryness due to reduced secretion of the sebaceous glands and important air-water exchanges on this area increasing water loss.

Delicate and very often used, the mouth ages faster than the rest of the face.

 

Here are some beauty tips and tricks for your lips :

1

 

 

For fuller and more voluptuous lips,

 

Think Exfoliation…

Stop biting your lips! To put an end to dry skin on lips and show off a sensual mouth, gently exfoliate them with light circular movements once a week.

Exfoliating Care

 

 

 

 

Exfoliating Care

 

 

 

 

Its creamy texture and the cellulose it contains allow a soft and gentle exfoliation of dried and sensitive lips.

For beautiful lips,

 

Think Hydration…

A beautiful mouth means supple and moisturized lips. At the beginning of the day, apply your « 3D Lip Perfector » under lipstick and anytime a makeup touch up is necessary. Apply generously before going to bed.

Play with make-up,

 

Dare to go Glossy…

Opt for light shades close to your complexion and use a brilliant gloss for a 3D effect giving volume to your lips. The must-have product to get beautiful lips? The 3D Lip Perfector as a replumping base.

 

 

Make-Up

 

 

 

 

A Voluptuous Mouth

 

 

Draw the contours using a lip pencil. It is also a means to cheat with thin lips while tracing a larger outline.

Apply the 3D Lip Perfector as a replumping base and for a glossy effect. Then put on lipstick directly from the tube or using a brush.

And don’t forget to press a tissue into your lips to remove any excess and enable the pigments to set on.



4

 

 

For healthy lips,

 

Think make-up removal…

To remove lipstick easily, it is recommended to apply fatty substances. Then it is best to use a special waterproof or a two-phase make-up remover for eyes.
