Contrary to popular belief, skin dries out more easily in winter than in summer. The reason? We feel less thirsty, and all the drinks we drink during the day aren't enough to keep us hydrated. Herbal teas and infusions, false friends, drain water from the body and are quickly eliminated.

This effect is reinforced by the climatic context. Cold air accelerates transepidermal water loss and drying, especially if the skin barrier is slightly altered, thinned or unbalanced.

How does lack of hydration manifest itself?

When you look in the mirror, you usually notice the appearance of fine lines, redness, and even flaking in certain areas. Your skin becomes more uncomfortable and tight. There's no doubt about it: it's not only dry but dehydrated.

In terms of overall health, dehydration can cause a feeling of fatigue that even a good night's sleep can't compensate for. You may also experience migraines or nausea. It's high time to address these issues.

How does Aime ensure good hydration at all levels?

Whether it's at the heart of your body or at the skin level, Aime has developed formulas that ensure optimal hydration inside and out.

1° Electrolytes to maintain water in the body

Electrolytes are minerals (calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium) that play a vital role in maintaining our hydration levels and metabolism. Sports, dehydration, headaches, water retention, etc. Hydration sticks are perfect for rehydrating the body and providing it with the minerals it needs to function properly.

At Aime: Discover Aime Fit Hydration Sticks , containing electrolytes in a powder that can be diluted in water. The formula is made with coconut water, which allows for better mineral absorption and gentle recovery after physical exertion. Hyaluronic acid helps maintain good tissue hydration levels for a post-exercise glow.

Additional advice: " You can consume electrolytes as soon as you wake up, if you feel thirsty or have a headache, for example. During the day, if you have a drop in concentration or if you are less efficient cognitively, it's ideal; it greatly reduces fatigue. And of course, after a sporting activity or a rise in temperature, as soon as you eliminate a lot of water, in any way! " - Claire Borwin, nutritionist and dietitian.

2° Marine collagen to maintain good hydration

Collagen is a naturally occurring fibrous protein that makes up about one-third of our body's total protein. Its fundamental role: it 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. Supplementing with marine collagen increases our ability to retain water within our tissues, which can help maintain optimal skin hydration.

At Aime: Enjoy one of our drinks containing 10g of hydrolyzed type I collagen every day for at least three months. The Collagen range is made with the latest generation of marine collagen, vitamin C, and natural ingredients that are good for both your mind and your skin. These delicious formulas are highly absorbable for fast, visible, and long-lasting results.

Additional advice: “ Vitamin C is a collagen production enhancer. Studies have shown that taking 1g of vitamin C can increase collagen production in the skin by 30%. ” - Dr. Sophie Domergue, cosmetic doctor

3° Probiotics and hyaluronic acid for a strengthened skin barrier

When your gut is healthy and your intestinal flora is sufficiently seeded, this balance is reflected in your skin, which appears healthy, luminous, and comfortable. The skin barrier does its job as a barrier by protecting itself well from external aggressions and limiting the insensible loss of water that causes dehydration.

At Aime: French Glow is the equivalent of your moisturizer, with deep and lasting action from the inside out. Based on probiotics , this food supplement formula also contains borage oil and hyaluronic acid which ensure good skin hydration.

Additional advice: With the internal intake of all these essential fatty acids, the skin is plumped, minor redness fades, and the complexion appears lit from within.

4° Simple topical treatments to take care of your skin

A simple and effective skincare routine also involves, of course, applying a serum and a cream that provide the right dose of active ingredients that the skin needs to protect and renew itself.

At Aime, our cosmetics are designed to suit all skin types and fit into a simple routine at any time of year. The goal: to provide just what your skin needs—no more, no less.

The Simple Serum contains glycerin, which is ideal for dehydration, soothes and reduces irritation and discomfort. Plus, a water-soluble vitamin C derivative stimulates collagen synthesis and promotes radiance.

The Simple Cream is enriched with a patented complex of probiotics, reishi, bisabolol, and ceramides for balanced skin flora and deeply nourished skin. It moisturizes all skin types without exception, while providing softness, comfort, and a glow.

Extra tip: These two essential steps will be even more effective if your skin is healthy and clear. The right move: gentle cleansing with The Simple Cleanser . It's the winning trio for hydrated, luminous, and comfortable skin, summer and winter.
