Hydratation : les bons réflexes inside and out

Do you know the signs of dehydrated skin? The appearance of fine lines, tightness, dullness, redness, and flaking are all signs of dehydrated skin. And contrary to popular belief, this can affect all skin types, including combination to oily skin, in both winter and summer. Good to know: with age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid declines, the skin becomes thinner and more fragile, which tends to exacerbate this phenomenon.

Factors that promote this state of dehydration:

- The environment, such as cold, winter, wind, pollution, UV rays
- Lifestyle, such as tobacco or alcohol
- Emotions, such as stress or fatigue
- Certain drug or anti-acne treatments
- Beauty routine with overly aggressive cosmetics, detergents, strippers and drying agents

So, what steps should you take? Discover our tips for staying well hydrated.

Water

It is recommended to drink water throughout the day, at a rate of 1.5 liters per day. Herbal teas are excellent, but their diuretic effect can end up dehydrating.

Electrolytes

Got a workout coming up or an intense period? Boost your hydration levels with an Aime Hydration Stick . This powder, which can be diluted in a glass of water, is rich in electrolytes (calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium), minerals that play an essential role in maintaining our hydration levels and metabolism. The plus: coconut water allows for better mineral absorption and a smooth recovery after exercise. As for hyaluronic acid, it helps maintain good tissue hydration levels for an incomparable glow.

Marine collagen

Take a marine collagen cure. This fibrous protein naturally present in our bodies plays a role in the structure and health of our skin , hair , nails, joints, bones, ligaments , and even our internal organs. Collagen ensures the strength, elasticity, and regeneration of body tissues. By supplementing with marine collagen, we increase our ability to retain water within our tissues, which can help maintain optimal skin hydration.

Hyaluronic acid

You can add it to your skin topically with a serum or cream that contains it. This natural molecule can retain up to a thousand times its weight in water!

Our favorite treatment: The Simple Cream moisturizes all skin types with a unique complex of probiotics, reishi, bisabolol, and ceramides. Its formula cares for the skin barrier to limit transepidermal water loss.
