"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.

To date, there is no convincing scientific evidence of a link between the changing seasons and their possible influence on the skin, particularly in spring. However, numerous scientific studies rigorously demonstrate the influence of the seasons on certain metabolic phenomena within the body, particularly in winter and spring.
1. The influence of the season on the skin
The skin is a functional organ that constantly interacts with its environment. In spring, several factors can influence its appearance and renewal:
✔ Increased brightness : Exposure to natural light stimulates the production of vitamin Da key element for overall skin health. In addition, visible light and UV rays boost skin pigmentationwhich can give a more luminous effect to the complexion.
✔ Reducing winter oxidative stress : Winter is a harsh period for the skin (cold,, dry air, temperature variations, pollution), which alters the skin barrier, amplifies dehydration and impacts the integrity of skin cells. In spring, with milder conditions and better-preserved hydration, the skin regains a better condition.
✔ Circadian rhythm and skin metabolism : The return to longer days implies a modulation of circadian rhythms including the nocturnal cell renewal cycle. Epidermal cells naturally renew themselves every 28 days, with nighttime playing an important role in this process, so getting a good night's sleep is of paramount importance.
✔ Reducing winter imperfections : In winter, skin tends to be more prone to tightness and redness in reaction to ambient dryness (heating, cold). With rising humidity and temperature in spring,, these phenomena can diminish reducing the feeling of peaurugueuse.
2. A "skin spring" at any age?
If the perception of more beautiful skin in spring is common, it depends more on skincare habits and environmental changes than on a biological cycle specific to the seasons. on skin care habits and environmental changes, rather than on a biological cycle specific to the seasons.. However, skin's adaptability varies with age:
-
For young women (20-35) The skin makes the most of the "benefits of spring" thanks to a good cell renewal and collagen production. The complexion often becomes brighter, with increased outdoor activity.
-
From age 35-45 : Cell renewal begins to slow downmaking the impact of winter aggressions more visible. Adaptation of skin care products (moisturizing, antioxidants) is recommended to prolong the "healthy glow" effect of spring.
-
From age 50 and over Hormonal variations are one of the causes of reduced collagen production, making skin thinner and more prone to wrinkles and pigmentation spots. In addition, age-related cellular aging has an impact on the functioning and efficiency of cell renewal mechanisms. Spring remains a favorable time to support the skin's metabolism through better hydration and targeted skin care products such as nutricosmetics.
3. How can we optimize this seasonal transition?
Spring is an ideal time to rebalance the skin and prepare it for summer aggressions (UV rays, heat, pollution). Here are a few recommendations:
✅ Boost hydration : After winter, skin needs to regain its elasticity. Care products rich in hyaluronic acid on the one hand, and ceramides on the other, can respectively help restore skin hydration and barrier integrity.
✅ Improving density : The use of well-targeted nutricosmeticssuch as a collagen-based treatment (e.g. LONGÉVITÉ by Evoleum), can promote more elastic skin.
✅ Protecting against oxidative stress : With increasing sun exposure, antioxidants (vitamin C, polyphenols, vitamin E) are essential for preventing premature aging.
✅ Reawaken microcirculation : Facial massages, facial gymnastics or the use of nutricosmetic treatments that promote blood circulation (e.g. ascophyllum nodosum, grape seed extract) can help revive the complexion's natural radiance.
Conclusion: skin renewal is influenced, but not automatic
Spring does not trigger a natural "reset" of the skin, but the more favorable external conditions allow for better hydration, renewed radiance and support for certain metabolic phenomena. hydration, renewed radiance and support for certain metabolic processes if the skin care routine is properly adjusted. It's therefore an excellent time to support the skin's mechanisms and anticipate its pre-summer needs.

A patented active ingredient is a product or process whose technical innovation has been recognized and protected by a patent. The latter guarantees the exclusive monopoly on the exploitation of the invention in one or more given territories for a maximum period of 20 years, preventing other companies from using it without prior authorization. In the world of nutricosmetics and skin care, patented active ingredients play a key role in product effectiveness and differentiation.
