In the 90s, cosmetics swore by “two in one”, very practical multifunction formulas. “But, with the wave of layering (superposition of several products) coming from Asia, the labs have abandoned these all-purpose treatments, supposed to be suitable for all skin types, remarks Aurélie Guyoux, Scientific Director of State Pur. We now prefer the “one to one”, personalized and hyper-targeted. Especially since each skin is different and its needs change with the seasons, but also with our way of life, our environment, our eating habits, our degree of stress or from fatigue… ”Hence the appearance of these ultra-concentrated“ boosters ”, capable of responding to a specific problem: redness, fine lines, spots, dark circles, Pores, Dull complexion… as precisely as possible.

A diagnosis to identify the needs of the epidermis

In order to find the right dosage, it all starts with an accurate diagnosis. “No need for a magnifying mirror, or a diploma in cosmetics, warns Aurélie Guyoux. You just have to take a good look at your skin and understand what it is expressing. Is it firm or a little wrinkled? Plump to the touch? Does it capture light well? Is she getting dehydrated faster than usual? Does it have small pimples, spots? To help us answer all these questions, most brands today offer diagnostics, to be done in store or online: nature of the epidermis, lifestyle, environment, concerns (wrinkles, eye contour, imperfections, loss of radiance or firmness …). Our “daily skin” is scrutinized to define, in a few clicks, a tailor-made protocol. We therefore leave with a beauty prescription and the corresponding product (s). This essential diagnosis must be renewed regularly, every 3 months for example, to stay as close as possible to the needs of your skin.

A hyper-targeted and effective composition

Unlike a serum often combining several types of active ingredients (moisturizers, firming agents, etc.), boosters only contain two or three molecules from the same family. Beyond that, the skin saturates and does not assimilate them correctly. “This type of formulation allows the active ingredients to be more effective,” emphasizes our expert. Thus, salicylic acid must be concentrated to 2% for a perfect purifying action. But, in a classic cream, it is rarely offered at this dose. And the other ingredients often interfere. Another example : resveratrol. It is one of the best antioxidants on the market, but it is difficult to stabilize. ”

Pure and very concentrated, the boosters take effect in just a few applications. While the effect of a serum is only visible after a cycle of cell renewal, or 28 days. Thus, with a “detox” booster rich in green coffee, the radiance resurfaces very quickly. With another, concentrated in zinc, the complexion becomes more matte over the days. The formulas rich in glycolic acid offer an immediate peeling effect, those based on arginine visibly reduce dark circles and puffiness, those containing ficaria extract soothe redness in no time …

A personalized user manual that makes all the difference

On the application side, several options are possible depending on the brand. But, whatever happens, these boosters concentrated in pure active ingredients can be combined with another treatment and never used alone. Most (Clarins, Sephora, Dr. Brandt) can be mixed in the palm of your hand with a rather basic moisturizer, in order to avoid interactions with too many active ingredients, just before use. Or a hydrating mask for a more intense action. Others (Kiehl’s or Dr Pierre Ricaud) propose to incorporate their boosters in a neutral base, responsible for sufficiently moisturizing the skin. The preparation is therefore done here in one go. Still others (like Etat Pur) rely on an application directly on the skin, before applying their day cream. “One or two well-targeted drops, only on the area to be treated, make it possible to act in the right place thanks to a vectorization system,” indicates Aurélie Guyoux. To attenuate the spots, the depigmenting active ingredients must thus reach the melanocyte at the base of the epidermis. To restore softness to the skin, hyaluronic acid will target the fibroblast, more in depth. »To be used as a single dose or as a treatment of 1 week to 1 month, depending on the condition of the skin. And especially to the changes of season (at the start of the school year, for example) and during peaks of pollution or any other phenomenon that could unbalance the epidermis.

For our hair too …

To extend the benefits of a salon treatment, Kérastase has just launched its tailor-made box: four concentrates (dry, colored, damaged or refined hair) and five boosters (shine, density, discipline, reconstruction or nutrition), to be determined with the hairdresser- expert in salon. It corresponds to 1 month of home care.

Should we be wary of masksblacks for the face sold on the Internet? The question arises after users have complained of irritation and itching after using three products sold on the Internet. The Federation of Beauty Companies (FEBEA) warns about the circulation of “black mask” products sold on the Internet but not in compliance with regulations. These treatments that aim to dislodge blackheads (comedone, clumps of sebum in a pore of the skin that oxidizes; hence the black color) are popular at the moment and are particularly popular on the Internet and social networks. Problem, some care would present health risks. Users have complained of adverse reactions such as irritation, burns and allergies.

FEBEA experts investigated following reports concerning three products: “Black Mask” from the One1x brand, “Suction Black Mask” from Cidbest as well as “Purifying Peel-off Mask” from Buoceans, charcoal-based masks and glue. The conclusions are relentless: “neither the manufacturers nor the distributors respect their obligations and […] this can have serious consequences on the health of consumers “, specifies the FEBEA on its site.

How to choose your black mask

The Federation issues recommendations to users to recognize authorized products:

– check that the information on the packaging is in French

-the labeling must include: the list of ingredients, the batch number, the name and address of the responsible person (usually a company)

Another useful tip for treating blackheads without damaging their skin is to use reference brands for cosmetic care. purifying. Organic or not, the choice is yours, as long as tolerance and efficacy have been scientifically confirmed.

At what age to adopt it?

The skin begins to lose its firmness around the age of 40. We can then choose a serum rich in restructuring active ingredients. But, from the age of 30, it is possible to act in prevention by using a serum rich in antioxidants and detoxifying active ingredients that limit the effects of attacks.

How to choose it?

Beware of retinol, if you have sensitive skin! A serum containing hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and a redensifying active ingredient is the right solution from 35-40 years old.

It improves elasticity

Whatever the active ingredient it contains: retinol, resveratrol, plant or algae extract, it stimulates the production of collagen in the dermis, and if possible of elastin, to restore density.
It redefines the contours of the face, with a “lifting” effect.

It moisturizes and repairs

Thanks to the presence of hyaluronic acid, of high or low molecular weight.
The first moisturizes on the surface and helps “plump” the epidermis, thus reducing wrinkles. The second acts at the level of the dermis, where it will boost the production of hyaluronic acid by the skin, to redensify it from the inside, restore volume and plump it.
It acts in depth Its concentration, its ultra-fluid texture, as well as vectors such as phospholipids and sometimes alcohol, promote the penetration of active ingredients, and allow them to be delivered where the skin needs them. It is an effective and targeted action, while a cream has a more surface action, protection above all.

It “lifts” and gives shine

The serum often contains ingredients that give an instant result.
Some of them, like wheat proteins, have a tightening effect. Others generate a slight surface exfoliation (salicylic acid, AHA, retinol), which restores radiance to the skin and promotes the penetration of active ingredients. Others, finally, are blurs and nacres to smooth the epidermis by optical effect.

To know
Some ultra-fluid serums require the addition of a moisturizer. Others, closer to an emulsion, can be used alone by normal to combination skin.

On her Instagram profile, Maria Yeager (@mariaybeauty) chants it with lipstick: “make up is fun”. Makeupis amusing. This formula foreshadows the light tone of certain contents of this beauty Youtuber. The coquettes can find tips by following these many tutorials (often promotional) provided they sort it out. Because the young woman has recently made the buzz with an unusual tutorial but that we should avoid reproducing at home. The pitch: make-up removal from the face with shaving foam.

Maria Yeager affirms that this gesture is practical and as effective as the conventional make-up remover. The assertion leaves doubtful but had the merit of making a new buzz on social networks like Instagram, greedy for this kind of improbable finds.

Make-up removing wipes, a lesser pain next to shaving foam

The next time you skip your cottons or makeup remover, consider the wipe trick as a troubleshooting solution. Of course, their legitimacy is questionable. Sensitive skin have even more interest in sulking them because friction can attack the skin and the cleansing product does not penetrate the face enough. Still, they will be more unanimous than shaving products that are totally irrelevant. And your skin will thank you for it.

“Night creams are really useful, explains Anne Clément, scientific director of the Dr Pierre Ricaud laboratories. Because the cell repair process takes place after midnight”. You should know that during the day the skin cells are damaged by all kinds of attacks, such as pollution, UV rays. And if the skin has its own repair system, past its 30s, it is always useful to give it a boost, because this system regularly weakens with age! On the other hand, “as much a lack of hydration quickly felt, as much a repair defect does not feel! continues the specialist.

Since our skin is more receptive at night, we must take advantage of it. ”By applying treatments that in addition to moisturizing and nourishing will treat skin problems, whether they are stains, wrinkles, lack of sparkle…

1. Night creams that erase spots

Linked to photo aging, these hyperpigmentations, which concern 90% of women over the age of 50, appear on exposed areas such as the face, hands and décolleté. If in the morning, it is interesting to protect your face with a treatment that contains a sun protection factor, it is however judicious to apply an anti-dark spot treatment in the evening. “It will act by regulating the pigmentation on the whole face. It is not a question of depigmenting, because that would risk damaging the skin next to the spots”, specifies Anne Clément. Thanks to effective active ingredients (azelaic acid, glycolic acid, vitamin C …), this type of care gradually fades spots (hyperpigmentations and dyschromia), but does not make them completely disappear. However, on condition that you do not expose yourself to the sun and protect your skin with a high index.

Our choice

Complete cream

A night cream that offers a triple action since it corrects, unifies and nourishes the skin by attacking spots but also wrinkles, thanks to a combination of active ingredients (encapsulated peptide and anti-spots vitamin C, antioxidant niacinamide) and enriched with more hydrating hyaluronic acid and vitamin E.

2. Anti-pollution night cosmetics

Whatever your skin type, pollution plays a harmful role ! Studies have shown that emissions of ozone, microparticles and gases related to automobiles and industries exacerbate skin reactions. It amplifies oxidative reactions (due to free radicals), intensifies pigment spots, accentuates wrinkles and accentuates loss of radiance. It increases the secretion of sebum, responsible for blackheads, and modifies their composition.

As for reactive or allergic skin, they have more tightness, redness and discomfort. If a conscientious make-up removal every evening makes it possible to get rid of it easily, it is necessary to apply each evening a night cream, enriched with antioxidants. Which will help the skin to fight against destructive free radicals.

Our choice

Special sensitive skin

3. Night creams that treat dryness

Did you know that water evaporation from the skin is more important during the night, and reaches its maximum at 8 am? When you have dry skin, this justifies not letting it dry out further, during your seven to eight hours of sleep! By applying a strongly nourishing night care, therefore rich in fatty acids and moisturizing active ingredients, the skin will be much more comfortable when you wake up. Because dry skin does not produce enough lipids. Because of this, the water contained in the dermis evaporates easily, and its intercellular cement tends to degrade. If we do not act, she cannot fight alone …

Our choice

Nourishing anti-wrinkle cream Nuit Riche Crème, Yves Rocher, € 31.80 for 50 ml.

4. Night care that gives radiance

To have a fresher, clearer complexion, it is necessary to gently stimulate the natural desquamation of the skin with active ingredients (often from the plant world), but not irritating. The little help is therefore to apply for at least four weeks a night cream based on fruit or flower acids or even vitamin C which, by accelerating cell renewal, act on the luminosity of the skin and promote good internal hydration. The result ? An epidermis that reflects light well. Because over time, this natural process can become slower, less effective, which makes the complexion dull and dim.

Our choice

Nutritive elixir

Beauté de Nuit Chrono-Active Jelly, Galénic, € 48 for 50 ml.

5. Creams that smooth out wrinkles

To fight against wrinkles, a nourishing night care alone is not enough … To really act, we must target treatments with strong active ingredients such as retinol, a precursor of acidic vitamin A, much less irritating but very active or more plumping and anti-aging hyaluronic acid. These molecules will ideally be associated with soothing and antioxidant vitamin E, and / or other anti-aging active ingredients. One application every night for at least three months to see the benefits.

Cotton candy is breaking out on social networks. The bubble mask, which swells like shaving or bath foam, once placed on the face, is the new Korean beauty ritual that is rising on social networks. The playful side of this masquewith bubbles should appeal to those who do not have time to laze in their bathroom.

On contact with the skin, the creamy texture turns into a foam after application to the little face. The secret of this “swelling” comes from the sparkling water hidden in the ingredients (not organic) of this new facial care.

Among the flagship active ingredients, we can cite, for example, green or white tea, clay, pomegranate or charcoal. A cocktail of ingredients that make this bubble mask a detoxifying and purifying treatment for the skin.

This one is offered for sale on the net by several brands if you want to test the experience and take a sparkling selfie on Instagram, as several beautystas have already done, with funny photos in support:

If cosmetology has left it aside for a while, especially following the arrival of hyaluronic acid, just as effective and without its side effects, retinol has remained for dermatologists the reference active ingredient for anti-aging. . Used in prescription in its medical form, retinoic acid (vitamin A acid) is for these skin specialists an essential asset, as explained by Dr. Laurence Walon, dermatologist in Brussels: “Retinol is for me one of the best anti-aging active ingredients complementary to the various treatments practiced in prevention, preparation and maintenance of the results obtained. Because, although it acts primarily on wrinkles, it improves skin texture and smoothness, makes it firmer, and it also attenuates pigment spots. ”

On the same subject

This is how retinol, a molecule recognized by professionals for its effectiveness, with 80 years of use and numerous scientific studies, is making a comeback.

Retinol is a powerful anti-aging

Like all vitamins, retinol is versatile. It acts at the same time on the surface, at the level of the epidermis and the dermis. On the surface, it has an exfoliating effect that smooths the skin texture, helps unclog pores and brings radiance. It stimulates cell renewal, which decreases with aging, and by reaction, causes a (slight) thickening of the epidermis. It also has a strong antioxidant role, acts on Langerhans cells, key cells in the skin’s immune defense, but also regulates melanocytes (cells that pigment the skin). It is therefore a good active regulator of dark spots and the uniformity of the complexion.

In the dermis, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, increases the level of hyaluronic acid and reduces the destruction of existing collagen. It therefore has positive effects on marked fine lines, but also on premature sun damage. “It is more effective on the damage caused by UV exposure than on strictly chronological aging”, specifies Dr. Pomarède. Which explains “that it is recommended rather to women over 40 years old who have little too much exposed to the sun and begin to undergo a little slackening, only to younger women “, adds Dr Philippe Deshayes, dermatologist.

What precautions should be taken ?

Retinol, because it has an exfoliating effect, refines and sensitizes the stratum corneum, best used in the evening, like fruit acids. For the same reasons, we apply sun care during the day. And since it is a powerful active, it is preferable in night care, when the skin is most receptive to repairing and anti-aging active ingredients and when its entire regeneration process is underway.

Lipophilic, it is often formulated in the form of an oil or a serum. And since it can be irritating, we recommend a gradual habituation, by applying it first every third evening, then every other evening, and finally, when the skin supports it well, every evening.

The skin does not like the cold. Assaulted by the fall of mercury, the skin dries up and becomes more vulnerable. The cold alters the hydrolipidic film of the skin, which usually acts as a protective shield against external aggressions (stress, UV, pollution). The skin barrier thus weakened, the skin becomes dehydrated.

Another effect of the cold is that the blood vessels contract and the blood migrates as a priority to vital organs to warm the body. The skin layer is less supplied with water but also sebum(the sebaceous glands slow down), the stratum corneum (skin surface) dries up, may itch and itch in the hands, face, feet or legs.

These winter sores can get worse when you are in overheated rooms

The solution is to fill this lack of hydrationin order to reconstitute the skin barrier (hydrolipidic). Here are the SOS tips to pamper her.

The anti-cold routine for the face

Hydration mission! No excuse in the bathroom: just as the cap is recommended in very cold weather, you should generously “cover” your face with moisturizers. Objective: to fill up with hydration.

1. In the morning, cleanse your face with micellar jelly or makeup remover oil (perfect for dry skin)
2. Switch to serum
3. Then apply your moisturizing day cream.
4. In the evening, think about nourishing your skin with a night care or better, a night mask (which you leave on while you sleep).

L’option cold cream : for faces with very dry skin, la cold creamdoes wonders. Enriched with vegetable oils such as beeswax, it nourishes, soothes and relieves signs of discomfort. The different cold cream formulas are also available for other parts of the body (hands, lips, etc.).

The anti-cold hand routine

Hands can be dry, sensitive and prone to tightness. A moisturizing, nourishing or soothing hand balm will wrap them in a protective film and restore their suppleness and softness. Care based on sweet almond oil, for example, will nourish sensitive skin.

Outside in very cold weather, always cover your hands with gloves.

The anti-cold lip routine

The lips also suffer the full force of the cold if not more than the other parts of the body. They are more fragile because they lack a hydrolipidic film and therefore cannot protect themselves as well as other areas of the skin. As a result, they lose their elasticity and can crack. Treat them with a special protective lip balm for dry lips whose nourishing active ingredients will help the hydrolipidic film to be reconstituted. In case of cracks, bet on a repairing and healing balm based on shea butter for example.

The anti-cold leg routine

In winter, the skin of the legs, already less provided with sebaceous glands than the upper part of the body, naturally lacks lipids. This can give crackle, the famous crocodile skin. It deserves care (cream, milk, vegetable balm, oil) enriched with active ingredients which will nourish it in depth and soften it. Think for example of vegetable oils such as argan, shea butter, evening primrose or mango oil which pamper dry skin.

If you have very sensitive skin, prefer organic treatments that are less aggressive for the skin. In case of desquamation (skin that comes off in places), turn to avocado and organic borage oils.
