What happens to our skin after we hit 30? Well, the regeneration of cells begins to slow, which causes, among other things, a breakdown of the collagen and elastin fibres, responsible for your skin's hydration, firmness and suppleness. This process, combined with the daily assault of pollution and UV rays, weakens the skin's structure, so it begins to dry out and sag. As a result, the first expression lines begin to appear around the eyes, between the eyelashes and near the edges of your nostrils. The gradual alteration of the skin's cells also causes the complexion to become slowly darker and pigment spots can sometimes appear.

The moral of the story? To correct the first signs of aging and slow their progress, it's important to adopt a beauty routine that's rich in moisturizers and antioxidants!

Healthy habits for healthy skin!

• Eat well so you can absorb the nutrients responsible for repairing and regenerating your skin (vitamins, fatty acids, antioxidants, minerals, etc.). Make plenty of room for vegetables, nuts and fish and be sure to drink plenty of water.
• Drink alcohol in moderation: excessive drinking can irritate blood vessels and make them pop, which causes rosacea.
• Get plenty of sleep. Many growth hormones are at their peak while you sleep and they're essential for regenerating skin and producing collagen. So give them a chance to work!
• Stay out of harm's way. Avoid air pollution whenever you can and use lukewarm water when washing your face: extreme temperatures are hard on your skin.
