The dermis contains 70% water and the epidermis around 15%
water.
In fact, water is at the heart of all the biochemical reactions
which make up cellular metabolism, so it is absolutely essential
for cells to function efficiently.
What is the secret to smooth, supple skin?
Good moisturisation.Thats the skins primary need,
whatever its condition. For this reason, all Clarins skin care
products contain moisturising key ingredients.
Hydrate from the inside. Drink at least eight glasses of
water a day (and more in the Summer to compensate for water lost by
perspiration). Avoid soft drinks high in sugar and caffeinated
beverages which can be dehydrating.
To help skin breathe and encourage absorption of moisturizing
products applied afterwards. And remember to also exfoliate hands
and feet !
Gentleness. Avoid harsh products. Cleanse skin with
products that neutralize hard water (Eau Ressourçante Bath &
Shower Milk, Eau Dynamisante, Shower Mousse, Tonic or Relax Bath
& Shower Concentrate).
Avoid overheated environments, excessive air-conditioning and
long baths.
