Hydration and Hyaluronic Acids – The Secret to Perfect, Flawless Skin

Hydration: Just as our bodies require water to maintain optimum functioning, so do our skin cells that have to take the brunt of all that heat and chemicals and dirt and pollution coming from the environment. Being the natural barrier against these external forces, our skin unfortunately has to wear the battle scars of such defense.

As such we should be able to help our skin in its defensive functions. We need to make sure that every cell in our skin is functioning properly. And one of the easiest ways to achieve this is by drinking lots of clean fresh water to help our skin stay hydrated. And while drinking liters upon liters of water can do our skin good, we can also help it a lot better by using skin care products that are designed primarily for hydrating the cells of the skin. This is where hyaluronic acid products come in.

Just what is hyaluronic acid anyway?

Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan that is very important in maintaining the integrity of nervous, epithelial, and connective tissues. Its role in the skin is largely anchored in its ability to stimulate re-epithelialization as well as on its ability to provide an open and hydrated skin infrastructure for the more effective absorption and distribution of nutrients to the different skin cells. Without hyaluronic acid, nourishing the skin will be quite challenging. This is what makes hyaluronic acid truly a miracle skin care substance.

Two of the latest innovations in skin cell hydration from Sothys of Paris are the 1055 Boletus extract and the Hydra 3HA systems.

The 1055 Boletus extract is synthesized from the world famous porcini mushroom, a mainstay in many Italian dishes that call for a strong nutty flavor. The 1055 Boletus extract is rich in Vitamin B3 and Vitamin E and has been shown to be very effective in improving the flow of fluids in the skin’s structure making it looking and feeling supple and refreshed. This hydrodynamic property of the 1055 Boletus extract is largely attributed to its biomimetic phospholipids and H2CR ingredients reactivating and improving the various functions of the cell and provides excellent protection against oxidative stress. The 1055 Boletus extract has been shown to improve the skin’s hydration status by as much as 34 percent within 1 week. Additionally, 4 out of 5 women who have tried 1055 Boletus extract said they looked definitely younger after only a single application.

The Hydra 3HA is Sothys answer to the need to reinvent the hyaluronic acid. Daily applications of the formulation will keep the skin hydrated to produce a suppler, more vibrant-looking, fresher, and generally healthier skin all day long. The 3HA solution includes a hydrating gel cream, an intensive hydrating serum, and a smoothing mask all of which work together to provide unparalleled skin perfection. The overall effect is that the skin definitely looks visibly younger and smoother.

The key to a beautiful, youthful, and flawless skin is hydration. By drinking plenty of fluids and using hyaluronic acid products like 1055 Boletus extract and the Hydra 3HA system, you can be well on your way to a healthier, more vibrant, and perfectly-looking skin.

What is Sensitive Skin?

Do you have Sensitive Skin?

A lot of people self-diagnose as having sensitive skin without knowing what it truly means. So who really has sensitive skin? While there is no official definition, a patient should not diagnose themselves as such unless they have ever suffered from eczema, rosacea, or another clinical skin condition by a dermatologist. For those who are now questioning their self-diagnosis, consider the times you break out- testing a new product, changing diet, and lacking sleep are all common causes of break outs for any type of skin. For those who have suffered from a skin condition at any stage of life, read on to hear a sensitive skin patient’s experience:

“While I was growing up, my mom always told me I had sensitive skin. She said when I was a baby I would break out in eczema patches which, according to her, were caused by having naturally dry skin and inheriting my dad’s allergies. Most of my life I haven’t had to think about my eczema, but that changed in my late teens and early twenties. After surviving puberty, my main focus was on clearing up my cystic acne. Once my skin cleared up, I started to want to experiment with makeup and started to watch all these instructional YouTube beauty videos. I inevitably went out and bought the drugstore products they were recommending, and had much different results than were advertised. After testing out one of the top selling drugstore mascaras, I broke out in dry, itchy eczema patches on the most tender part of my face- around my eyes. Over time I had similar experiences with some of the top selling eye creams, moisturizers, foundations, eyeliners, and spot treatments. It took me a while to realize it, but eventually I grew to understand that the health of my skin is far more valuable than saving money on makeup and skincare. After dropping small amounts of money on tons of different products that deteriorated my skin, I realized trying to find products based on packaging and bloggers was pointless. I found Nefertari.com and recognized the passion for skincare immediately after my consultation. Houria genuinely cared about the effectiveness of my skincare products, not about selling things to me. She sent me samples and then spent about an hour on the phone giving me explicit instructions on how to get the most out of each product. I got on a routine of using the Sothys Morning Cleanser to wash my face and, to be honest, fell in love with the smell before I even saw results. Later I added in the Sothys Comfort Lotion to tone after cleansing, and finished with the Soothing Melting Fluid to moisturize. The first thing I noticed, other than the wonderful smell of every product, was the change in the texture of my skin. It’s now more even to the touch and it’s easier to apply makeup. The biggest change I saw was the day after using the Sothys Desquacrem, which is like giving yourself a spa-quality exfoliating treatment. The better my skin gets, the more I love it, and the more I love it, the more I want to care for it. If you’re looking to take charge of your skincare routine, I cannot recommend Nefertari.com enough!”
