"Healthyskin", we often hear this expression but what does it really mean? How do I know if my skin is in good shape? But above all, how can I keep it healthy? In this article we give you all the answers to these questions.
1) What is-healthy skin?
Healthy skin is firm, even and soft to the touch. It is therefore free of blemishes, redness or irritation. When the skin is less healthy, it shows visible signs: acne & blemishes, dryness, redness, irritation etc.
Healthy skin supports many vital functions:
- Healthy skin offers better protection against environmental stresses (hot and cold, pollution and harmful UV rays)
- Healthy skin heals faster by activating the blood micro-circulation
- Healthy skin is involved in the synthesis of vitamin D which contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system
To perform all these functions, the integrity of the skin must be respected.
However, with our current pace of life between responsibilities, work and personal life... it can be difficult to maintain healthy skin. For healthy skin, we advise you to take care of your body with our new skin care product Drinkable Food Supplements Équilibre.
2) How does Équilibre contribute to healthy skin?
An anti-glycation treatment
Glycation is a phenomenon that affects us all. It results from the binding of sugars - especially refined sugars - to proteins. This irreversible chemical reaction is the cause of certain diseases and plays a role in accelerating the skin's ageing process. Over time, the accumulation of these glycated proteins can lead to premature wrinkles and many health complications.
To slow down this phenomenon, Équilibre relies on two natural ingredients with multiple virtues:lemon balm and our Bélinal™ white fir bark extract. Rich in rosmarinic acid, lemon balm protects proteins such as collagen and elastin in the skin from the damaging effects of refined sugar. Complementing lemon balm, our patented white fir bark extract regenerates collagen and elastin to help maintain skin structure. As a result, skin is protected from the aging effects of refined sugar. It's healthier and stronger, day after day.
An antioxidant treatment
Oxidation is a natural process in our body. Oxidative stress occurs when there is an overproduction of free radicals. These molecules, which are harmful to the body, are responsible for premature cell ageing, sagging skin and are associated with certain diseases.
To achieve this, our skincare Équilibre incorporates two antioxidant ingredients in its formulation to neutralize these free radicals. Our Bélinal™ white fir bark extract is unique in that it contains over 36 different categories of polyphenols. Acting in synergy with antioxidant-rich elderberries, skin is protected from oxidative stress, the appearance of dark spots can be limited and overall skin health is improved.
A protective skin care
Ceramides naturally present in the body play a role in protecting and strengthening the skin against oxidative stress and external aggressions. However, with age and environmental factors such as UV exposure, our production of ceramides can decrease resulting in a loss of radiance and suppleness of the skin, leading to theappearance of the first wrinkles .
To strengthen the skin's barrier, we include in our skincare products Équilibre with wheat phytoceramides, one of the main components of our patented active ingredient: Ceramosides™. Our patented active ingredient is made up of 50% ceramides and glucosylceramides (essential skin barrier compounds), 12% of which are fatty acids, two elements essential to the constitution of the skin barrier. This exceptional ingredient retains water at the skin barrier, improving skin hydration for visibly firmer, softer, hydrated skin.
Équilibre is a complete skin care product. With its anti-glycation, antioxidant and skin barrier protection benefits, our skin care product contributes to lasting improvements in skin health.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a molecule naturally present in our bodies. Particularly in the skin, which stores 50% of the human body's total hyaluronic acid, joints and eyes. It plays a key role in maintainingskin hydration and elasticity thanks to its unique ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. With age, natural hyaluronic acid production declines, leading to dryness, wrinkles and loss of cutaneous volume.
