HYDRATION Water is a major element in the body, making up 70% of it, and is also essential for the well being of skin. Proper hydration depends on the barrier function. The more compact the stratum corneum is, the more hydrated skin will be. Several factors can easily disturb this protective system: harsh cleansers, environmental (smoking, pollutants) and weather factors (i.e. very cold weather, the sun). In time, these imbalances will lead to early ageing, thus need to be addressed. Everyone of us should start using cosmetic treatments in our younger years already, and every day. These cosmetics should include ingredients that: Can carry water into skin Can hold water in skin, working on the skin s moisturising factor Prevent excessive loss of water Reinforce the protective barrier Stimulate the natural mechanisms of deep hydration.
BioNike s solution HYALURONIC ACID in 5 ACTIVE FORMS: hyaluronic acid is a physiological component of skin having a great affinity with water and working like a sponge to absorb and store it. According to its molecular weight, hyaluronic acid performs a number of functions in skin: High molecular weight hyaluronic acid: remains on the surface and coats skin forming a light, thin layer, thereby increasing hydration by acting as an important water reserve Medium molecular weight hyaluronic acid: offers deeper, long-lasting hydration Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid: penetrates into the deeper layers of the epidermis, improving skin elasticity Very low molecular weight hyaluronic acid: characterised by a high bioavailability, it penetrates very quickly into the deeper layers of the epidermis, preserving skin hydration Hyaluronic acid in microspheres: released slowly, it increases hydration especially by capturing transepidermal water that would normally be lost through perspiration. Key ingredient complex ANTI-FREE RADICALS VEGETAL COMPLEX works as an anti-stress agent and, at the same time, strengthens skin: Jiaogulan (Gynostemma Pentaphyllum) extract: typically growing in the Far East and also referred to as the plant of immortality, it targets intercellular cement with its energising and strengthening properties, thereby supporting the barrier function of skin; Pink Rose (Cistus Incanus) extract: found throughout the Meditteranean area, it is rich in polyphenols, thus has antioxidant properties to counter free radicals triggered by external environmental agents (UV radiation, pollution); Glutamine: it is the major amino acid in our body and is a source of energy for our cells.
