Skin Care
Understanding skin health and adopting a suitable routine
Skin care encompasses all practices aimed at preserving the health, balance, and appearance of the skin. Far more than just an aesthetic issue, the skin is a vital organ, influenced by diet, digestion , stress, sleep, and immunity.
Unbalanced skin can reflect both internal and external factors. This page aims to help you understand the mechanisms of skin health , identify the most common problems, and access content tailored to your skin type.
UNDERSTANDING SKIN HEALTH
The role of the skin
The skin plays several essential roles:
- protective barrier against external aggressions
- body temperature regulation
- participation in immunity
- elimination of certain toxins
Its balance depends in particular on hydration, cell renewal, the skin microbiota and internal factors such as digestion and stress.
Skin care and overall balance
Skin health is closely linked to:
- to the gut microbiota
- to hormonal balance
- stress level
- to sleep quality
- to the state of immunity
skincare routine is therefore part of a holistic approach, and not just a topical one.
