Anti-wrinkles and fine lines
The term anti-wrinkle does not evoke the desire to remove all signs of maturity, but rather to offer you natural care to better support you in the evolution of your skin. With the decrease in female hormones, the skin on the face tends to become dry, it becomes less resistant to aggression. It is thinner and the first signs of aging appear (pigmentation spots, loss of firmness, wrinkles and fine lines, loss of radiance). Discover our formulas with powerful natural active ingredients from biotechnologies.
How to explain skin aging ?
There is your heritage, it is the intrinsic aging, related to your genetics and hormones.
Over time, the entire architecture of the skin changes.
- At the level of the superficial epidermis : there is a decrease in cell renewal and a lack of lipids. The skin is therefore drier, thinner. Or conversely, thick skin will see its superficial layer thicken, become rougher, irregular, the pores dilate.
- In the dermis, from the age of 25 years, the production of elastic and connective tissues decreases as does microcirculation, which is the breeding ground for the first fine lines, pseudo-comedones can appear and the complexion becomes duller.
- In the deeper layers, it is the fatty tissue that decreases, the muscles relax, the bone is resorbed and wrinkles deepen.
THE extrinsic aging is related to external factors : sun, pollution, tobacco, stress, excess alcohol, lack of sleep, diet… The damage caused by the sun and UV rays called heliodermia is well known. This photoaging causes the skin to lose its radiance and transparency. This is due to the vessels that dilate and an infinite number of micro pigmented spots that appear. As a result, the complexion is dull. This is associated with solar elastosis - the elastic tissue damaged by UV rays reinforces the sagging of the skin, the complexion is yellowish with dilated follicular orifices.
Finally, when we get older, the gravity that applies to our cheekbones causes a ptosis, which weighs down our nasolabial folds, our corners of the lips, and even our mandibles. The triangle made by the eyes and the mouth is inverted. : it is the loss of the oval. It also brings out the periorbital fat hence the bags under the eyes. Certain hyperactive muscles promote lion wrinkles at the level of the glabella and crow's feet.
Are wrinkles synonymous with the first signs of aging ?
Even if some expression lines appear early, they show the fragility of the skin and must be taken into account when adapting your ritual.
Is there a difference between anti-aging treatment and anti-wrinkle treatment ?
Wrinkles are just one target for anti-aging action.
Anti-aging treatment - or rather the art of aging in harmony - also acts on the radiance of the complexion, the suppleness of the skin, hydration, and spots.
Do Alaena products contain anti-aging active ingredients ?
All our care products contain our patented active ingredient based on sprouted seeds COMPLEX G5® which provides vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids.
Our DNA chip research proves rapid penetration of biomolecules and regeneration of all layers of the skin for a global anti-aging effect.
In addition to this patented active ingredient, we add specific natural active ingredients to our formulas that address different skin problems.
Are just moisturizing products enough to preserve the youthfulness of the skin ?
This is a very interesting issue, it is exactly the question that Dr. Sylvie Peres, dermatologist, asked herself when creating the Alaena range.
His first mantra is for the body like skin cells " First, no harm done ", first do no harm which comes from Hippocrates. Indeed, applying toxic petrochemical ingredients to skin cells does not allow the cells to flourish.
Furthermore, retinol is not as interesting in the treatment of skin aging as retinoic acid. This is why in the Anti-aging moisturizer Dr. Sylvie Peres has developed an active ingredient based on sprouted seeds, rich in amino acids, vitamins and antioxidants which allows full cellular development associated with plumping active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and algae extracts.
Likewise in the formulas of the Eye contour and of Radiance serum , she drew on biodiversity to select the most effective active ingredients.
Furthermore, for our new product the Anti-imperfection solution , Dr. Peres chose to combine plant extracts such as greater celandine and white hibiscus for a retinoid-like effect.
Retinol and vitamin C occur naturally and are much better absorbed by cells than when synthesized.
How to treat brown spots
Concerning the appearance of brown spots, these are signs of heliodermia, aging induced by sun exposure, resulting in a complexion blurred by small, more or less dark spots associated with dilated vessels, dry skin and fine lines.
First of all, it is important to limit exposure to the sun, favor shade, wear a hat, and apply the Sunscreen SPF50+ . THE fruit acid peeling , just like the radiance serum will also be interesting to alleviate these tasks.
At the dermatologist, pigment laser or rejuvenation treatments can also help treat these areas.
