The performance of certain types of work is associated with the risk of damage to the skin by harmful substances. Modern means personal protection help protect the skin of the hands and body from the aggressive effects of the external environment.

From this article you will learn:

• what means are used to protect the skin at work in 2015;
• which types of work require individual skin protection;
• what types of dermatological agents should be used to supplement skin protection with the help of overalls.

Protecting the skin at work with workwear

A set of protective measures at work in a number of cases implies the provision of workers working in harmful or dangerous conditions with all the necessary personal protective equipment, which are used in the absence or insufficient effectiveness of collective protective equipment. The employer is obliged to timely issue to employees PPE of the organs of vision, breathing, skin, hearing organs, etc., as well as flushing and disinfecting agents in accordance with standard industry standards (Article 221 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Personal protective equipment for the skin (SIZK) is used to protect the skin from exposure to poisonous, chemically dangerous and radioactive substances, biologically aggressive environment. Protection of the skin from external negative influences in 2015 is carried out using means insulating(airtight) or filtering(breathable) type.

For insulating protective equipment (sets KIH-4b, KIH-5, Ch-20, KZA, OZK, L-1), the maximum permissible period of continuous operation is set depending on the air temperature and other conditions. Filter-type suits made from cotton fabric impregnated with special chemicals (this group of protective equipment includes sets FL-F, FL-N, PZO-2, KZHCH, protective clothing ATK-1, used together with a gas mask. OZK (combined arms protective suit ), like the light protective suit L-1, refers to the means of protecting the skin of the insulating type.However, these types of overalls can also be used only in conjunction with gas masks.

Individual protection of the skin of hands and feet is carried out with the help of leather and rubber gloves, rubber boots and boot. For additional protection of the skin from biological aerosols and radioactive dust, tarpaulin and rubberized raincoats or capes are used.

Skin protection with dermatological products

Along with protective suits, gloves and safety shoes, various dermatological agents are used. Their use in production is regulated by the norms approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated 04.07.2003 No. No. 45 (“On approval of the norms for the free distribution of washing and disinfecting agents to employees, the procedure and conditions for their issuance”). Protecting the skin from external negative influences involves the use of soap, cleansing pastes, regenerating cream. Despite the fact that special dermatological preparations belong to the category of protective agents, their certification in the Russian Federation is still carried out according to perfumery and cosmetic household GOSTs.

When working with hazardous chemicals (concentrated acids, alkalis, caustic dyes, etc.) in 2015, the protection of the skin of the hands is ensured by the use of special gloves, the regular wearing of which leads to a decrease in air exchange, increased sweating, and a decrease in hand sensitivity. As an alternative to gloves, creams are used that protect the skin of the hands by forming a mechanical surface layer.

There are also special creams with a formula that facilitates cleaning of the skin of the hands and body after certain types of work and contributes to its rapid recovery. In order for the protection of the skin at work to be complete and as effective as possible, the products are applied to dry skin in accordance with the instructions. According to the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 1122n of December 17, 2010, dermatological protective equipment are divided into the following groups:

• hydrophilic(absorbing moisture and moisturizing the skin) - used when working with organic solvents, metal dust, fiberglass, cutting fluids on oil based etc.;
• hydrophobic(moisture repellent) - protect the skin when working with aqueous solutions, water, alkaline and oily emulsions, disinfectants;
• combined- to protect the skin under alternating exposure to water-soluble and water-insoluble substances;
• for protection against ultraviolet radiation and low temperatures; disinfectants- for protection against bacteriological factors; repellents- for protection against biological factors (bites);
• cleansing funds;
• regenerating and restorative funds.

Individual skin protection is necessary when carrying out degassing and disinfection emergency work, when working with aerosol paints and caustic fumes, acid solutions and other substances harmful to the skin. Protective suits are indispensable when loading and unloading objects containing fine metal dust, when working on sites and in rooms whose atmosphere contains radioactive dust, when performing production operations in foundries and electroplating shops. The employer must keep records

The skin covers the entire human body and is the largest organ. In addition, it performs certain functions that are of great importance for our body. But there are 5 main factors that can negatively affect the condition of the skin.

1. stress

First, let's recap what stress is. Stress - it is a strong stress to which the body is subjected as a result of certain emotional upheavals. Let's try to catch the connection between stress and the condition of our skin. The fact is that during stress in our body there is an active production of hormones. adrenaline and cortisol, which have a definite negative effect on the skin.

Under the action of adrenaline, the capillaries of the skin undergo spasm. For this reason, the blood begins to stagnate, which leads to the deprivation of its oxygen, as well as the most important nutrients. As a result, the skin becomes pale yellow. In individual cases, in parallel with the spasm of small vessels of the skin, in areas in the neighborhood, their unexpected expansion occurs, already due to a neurological nature. It manifests itself as stagnant red spots on the skin.

As for cortisol, at the time of stress, it is also hostile to our skin, namely, it provokes an increase in the amount of sugar in the blood, the excess of which contributes to the launch of processes that change collagen molecules, and hence its properties. On the basis of such transformations, the skin becomes stiff, and the number of wrinkles on it inevitably grows. Cortisol slows down division and reproduction the most important connective tissue cells of the body - fibroblasts, which leads to inhibition of the nucleation of collagen fibers and disruption of their recovery. Against this background, the vulnerability of the skin of a mild degree, its protracted healing with various injuries, thinning and stretch marks are acquired.

Moreover, under the influence of cortisol, the natural production of hyaluronic acid which is an excellent skin moisturizer. Plus, this hormone threatens the importance of the natural skin barrier, which allows moisture to evaporate more intensively. Along with these processes, sensitivity, including photosensitivity of the skin, increases significantly, conditions for its infection and inflammation appear, and dryness occurs.

An excess of this hormone stimulates the formation of fats, which leads to their accumulation in the organs and tissues of the body and increases the production of sebum.

At the time of emotional outbursts, a large amount of histamines (mediators of allergic reactions), which can cause a rash, small pimples, as well as an increase in skin sensitivity to all sorts of irritants.

Constant or prolonged tension during stress provokes cramps in the muscles of the face, therefore, the elastin fibers stretch more than they should, while the skin loses its elasticity.

Quite frequent phenomena that accompany stress are poor-quality sleep and / or its lack. According to the results of scientific studies, it has been proven that the restorative effect of sleep is necessary for the formation of new and renewal of old skin cells. This process is regulated sleep hormone melatonin. Unfortunately, the older a person becomes, the less actively melatonin is produced in his body. Accordingly, the more time we devote to sleep, the younger we will look. Otherwise, the skin tone decreases and there is a significant risk of folds and wrinkles on it.

1. Ecology

It is known that the ecological situation in the whole country and the world is developing rather negatively. The presence of various kinds of pollution (exhaust gases, dust, smog, hard water, etc.) present in the environment also affects the condition of our skin. The most striking skin problems caused by the negative impact of the environment include:

• pallor, lethargy and dryness,
• loss of firmness and elasticity,
• premature wrinkles,
• blockage of pores
• redness,
• allergic manifestations.

• I (Scandinavian)

Thin, light skin. Blond or red hair. Characteristic light eyes and the presence of freckles. Tolerance to ultraviolet radiation is minimal - a few minutes after irradiation, the skin burns (an inflammatory process occurs). There is no uniform tan. The use of sunscreen is a must.

• II (light-skinned European)

Light skin and hair. Infrequently, freckles may occur. Eyes of light, gray, blue, green flowers. Under the influence of ultraviolet light, the skin burns easily. Achieving a noticeable natural tan is problematic. The use of s / s funds is also a prerequisite.

• III (Central European)

Ivory skin. Dark and light brown hair. Light brown eyes. Skin tans easily. The tan is even. With prolonged exposure to the sun, it can burn. The use of s / s funds is necessary.

• IV (Mediterranean)

Olive skin color. Dark brown, black hair. Dark brown, black eyes. The skin hardly burns. Sunburn occurs quickly and lasts for a long time. The use of s / s funds is necessary for prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation (not so much to prevent burns, but to prevent premature skin aging).

• V (Asian)

Hazel, brown or yellow skin and black hair. The skin never burns. The tan is almost invisible due to the natural color of the skin. There is no need to use s / s funds.

• VI (African)

Dark (black) skin, dark eyes and black hair. The skin also never burns. Natural skin protection from UV rays. There is no need to use s / s funds.

• Over time, melanin tends to accumulate in our skin cells. Because of this, with age, small brown spots appear on it, resembling freckles. These are the so-called dark spots. Unfortunately, getting rid of them is almost impossible. Dark spots increase age and make uneven skin color.
• UV is also known to increase the risk of skin cancer. Also, with regular use of sunbathing or visiting a solarium, small moles are often formed, which are benign neoplasms.

1. Smoking

When smoking, the skin receives a double toxic blow: it suffers from cigarette smoke in principle and is saturated with the harmful components of this smoke when it is inhaled, while being absorbed into the blood and flowing through the blood vessels to skin cells and nerve endings.

While smoking nicotine (an alkaloid found in tobacco) provokes vasoconstriction, which leads to a violation of the supply of oxygen to the tissues. This leads to slow healing of skin lesions, as this process requires a good blood supply. because of negative impact tobacco smoke, people who have this bad habit are most at risk of developing skin cancer and more often relapse. Scars, respectively, in the postoperative period are delayed for a long time. Moreover, tobacco smoke contributes to the formation carboxyhemoglobin in the vessels, which leads to the final deterioration of skin respiration. An interesting fact is that constricted vessels remain in this state for up to 1.5 hours after smoking one cigarette. This suggests that a person who smokes every 1.5 hours creates conditions for constant oxygen starvation for his own skin.

Smoking contributes to the destruction of collagen and elastin fibers, respectively, the firmness and elasticity of the skin is lost. With the constant puckering of the lips and squinting of the eyes under the influence of smoke, smokers develop wrinkles near the mouth, on the forehead and around the eyes. For those who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, there is such information: the risk of noticeable and deep wrinkles 5 times higher than in non-smokers, and their appearance occurs much earlier (sometimes with a difference of 20 years!). But the problems don't end with wrinkles. Often smokers are recognizable by the unhealthy condition of the skin of the face, which has a yellowish or gray tint and an expanded capillary network on the nose and cheeks. Their skin is rough and tough.

1. Alcohol

There is one indisputable fact about alcohol: alcohol spoils appearance person before there is a feeling of its influence on the body as a whole. Consider the negative impact of this factor on the condition of our skin.

• Alcohol is known to dilate blood vessels. That is why initially a person has a seemingly harmless blush on his face. However, when alcohol is abused, gluing occurs in the blood red blood cells - erythrocytes, transporting oxygen and, as a result, oxygen starvation of skin cells. If several capillaries are clogged with erythrocyte clots at once, their rupture occurs due to blood pressure. For this reason, a purple vascular network and a bluish-red complexion appear.
• After drinking alcohol, the liver begins to work intensively to process it, and the kidneys to remove decay products. It is for this reason that alcohol has a pronounced diuretic effect. The result is significant dehydration. In this case, first of all, water leaves the subcutaneous fat. The skin becomes dry, dull, loses its former smoothness and earns the appearance of small wrinkles, as well as a more noticeable manifestation of existing ones.
• Regular consumption of alcoholic beverages depletes the reserves of vitamins C and E, which help maintain collagen. Against this background, the contour of the face loses clarity, and in some areas the skin sags. In addition, alcohol reduces the ability of the skin to recover, so the regeneration period due to any damage lasts longer than it could be.
• Alcohol also acts on the hormonal level, namely, it contributes to the restructuring of the hormonal background. In women, for example, the level of male sex hormones becomes higher, as a result of which the skin coarsens, the pores become pronounced. It should be noted that such consequences are very poorly amenable to cosmetic correction.
• When alcohol consumption turns into alcohol abuse, the previously listed signs gain strength and new problems appear: for example, the function of the liver and kidneys suffers, and chronic pathologies of these and other organs appear. As for the skin, there are bags under the eyes, severe puffiness and puffiness of the face.

Useful tips to protect our skin from the influence of negative factors

1) A healthy lifestyle, including:

• absence bad habits(smoking, alcohol)
• sound healthy sleep (preferably at the same time),
• proper nutrition (eating foods rich in antioxidants),
• avoiding stressful situations (if possible),
• sports (mainly outdoors),
• any trips outside the city (to nature).

2) Skin care with suitable cosmetic products (moisturizing creams, scrubs, peels, masks, etc.). If possible, it would be useful to visit a beautician. He will help determine your skin type, as well as photosensitivity and select cosmetics for individual care. Here are some tips for skin care in winter and summer:

• In winter, you should cleanse the skin very gently, use products that have moisturizing and softening properties, since microcracks often appear on dry skin, which can cause infection. Although there is one big plus: winter period, especially in frosty weather, the air is very clean and all harmful microbes penetrate the skin to a lesser extent, and some of them simply die.
• Concerning summer period, at this time it is necessary to avoid clogging of pores and use light texture products. The same goes for sunscreen. For those who are going to tan: Purchase a quality tanning product with a protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 and use it every day after showering. On the first day, sunbathe for 20 minutes and then gradually increase the amount of time you spend in the sun. Sunbathe in any summer headdress so as not to get sunstroke and not dry out the skin of the face and hair. Cover your shoulders when returning from the beach. Follow the recommended time for tanning, namely before 10:00 and after 16:00, when the sun's rays are soft enough, do not cause burns, the tan lies evenly, and the skin acquires a beautiful bronze tint.

Everyone knows perfectly well that modern ecology leaves much to be desired. And some understand that it has a negative impact on health. But it also affects our skin. How exactly? And how to prevent such influence and protect yourself?

What exactly affects the skin?

To begin with, it is worth listing the negative environmental factors that have a tangible and extremely adverse effect on the skin:

• Dust. It is contained in the air and easily settles on the skin of the whole body.
• Smog. It is a mixture of burning, smoke, soot and other components that rise into the air and hover in it in the form of a kind of suspension.
• Traffic fumes. Today, there are so many cars in medium and large cities that exhaust gases simply do not have time to evaporate and soar in the air.
• Ultraviolet radiation. It may be related to environmental factors, as the sun has recently become very active and aggressive due to atmospheric pollution. Of course, everyone needs the sun, but not always and not in excessive quantities.
• Water. Water in reservoirs is polluted with emissions from industrial factories and factories, as well as by products of human life. And the water in the taps, which has gone through several stages of purification, is extremely hard.

What impact does the environment have?

How does the environment affect the condition of the skin? It is clear that it is extremely negative. Here are just a few of these influences:

• Dust and smog settle on the skin, pollute and clog pores, resulting in blackheads and pimples.
• Hard water can form an impenetrable coating on the surface of the skin, which prevents normal breathing of the skin, and also clogs the sebaceous and sweat glands. As a result, an unpleasant odor and irritation may occur. With prolonged use of hard water for washing and bathing, the production of sebum is disrupted, and the skin becomes either excessively dry (most often this is the case) or excessively oily (sebaceous glands can begin to produce even more sebum due to blockage). In addition, hard water often causes severe allergic reactions.
• Exhaust gases can penetrate the skin, destroy epidermal cells and elastin and collagen molecules, and trigger the activity of free radicals. As a result, the elasticity of the skin decreases, it becomes dull, fragile, its color changes. And free radicals trigger the aging process.
• Ultraviolet is not only harmful, but also dangerous. First, an excessive number of direct sun rays contributes to the rapid evaporation of moisture from the skin and, accordingly, its drying. Areas of the skin that are more exposed to ultraviolet radiation become dry and rough. Secondly, the active sun can provoke the development of cancer, especially in fair-skinned people. The most dangerous and insidious of them is melanoma. Thirdly, due to increased dryness and free radical activity, the skin will age quickly, which means that wrinkles and other signs of aging will appear much earlier than they should.
• Some components of the air can cause severe allergic reactions, manifested in the form of a rash, burning, itching and severe discomfort. And if unpleasant sensations occur often, or even more so constantly, then this can significantly worsen the quality of life, disrupt and worsen work. nervous system, provoke the development of complexes and even lead to depression or a nervous breakdown. In addition, allergic skin diseases can become more serious and complex or chronic.

How to protect your skin?

What to do to protect the skin from negative effects environmental factors? A few practical tips:

1. Cleanse your skin regularly. This should be done in the morning after waking up, and also in the evening before going to bed. But simply washing is not enough. Use a tonic, its components penetrate the skin and effectively remove all impurities. It is important to purchase a quality product, as a poor quality tonic can only aggravate the condition. It is also very important to choose the right tool. Consider your skin type and specific concerns you have.
2. Exfoliate regularly to remove impurities, as well as old dead skin particles that interfere with normal breathing. Gentle home peeling should be done once a week. And about once every 1-2 months you need to arrange a deeper cleansing. It is better to entrust it to an experienced beautician.
3. For washing it is better not to use hard water. A simple boiling procedure, as well as the use of special multi-stage filters, will help reduce its rigidity. In addition, you can use natural mineral water, it not only does not pollute the skin, but also helps to cleanse it, and also provides nutrition.
4. It is extremely important to lead healthy lifestyle life, it will help the body cope with the negative impact of the environment and improve the condition of all tissues and the functioning of organs and systems. First of all, you should eat right. Especially the skin needs proteins and vitamins A, E, D and group B, which are found in orange and red fruits and vegetables, in sea fish, sour-milk and dairy products, as well as in greens and green vegetables. It is also useful to play sports, as regular physical activity normalizes metabolic processes. And walk as much as possible in fresh and clean air, for example outside the city.
5. Use the right cosmetics. First, they must fit you. Secondly, they should nourish and moisturize the skin, but at the same time not leave a film on it. Thirdly, the products should protect the skin from the negative effects of both environmental and natural factors, for example, from wind, sun, cold. Use only high quality cosmetics. You can also use some folk remedies They will also help improve the condition of the skin.
6. If possible, visit a professional beautician. He will assess the condition of the epidermis, identify existing problems and give useful advice about correct, safe and effective care as well as skin protection.
7. It is extremely important to protect your skin from the sun. So do not sunbathe during the hours of increased solar activity (from 12 noon to 16:00-17:00 pm) and be sure to apply on the body sun protection.
8. Try to be less nervous, as stress also has an extremely negative effect on our skin.

Protect your skin from the influence of negative environmental factors so that it is beautiful, well-groomed and healthy!

If the client plans any traumatic intervention, but at the same time he lives in a metropolis or in adverse environmental conditions, then you must first try to minimize the damage already caused to the skin as a result of pollution environment. In the Mirra cosmetics catalog http://mirra-shop.com/ru-ru/catalog/ you will find the whole range of cosmetics that will protect your skin from the negative effects of the environment.

Of course, if it is possible to exclude the influence of negative factors, then it is necessary to try to do this: quit smoking at least 1-2 weeks before the intervention, if possible, change the usual route of movement, if it involves a relatively long stay near multi-lane roads or near air polluting enterprises. Unfortunately, it is rather difficult to minimize other risks, even realizing the harm caused to their health by working in an environmentally harmful environment at enterprises that do not pay attention to air purification, people still do not often decide to change jobs. What can we say about the change of place of residence, even when we are talking only about the urban area.

In addition, the effect of minimizing damage to the skin through the use of certain cosmetic products has been proven. At the same time, it is not necessary to look for funds marked "eco" or "organic" a method of obtaining ingredients for cosmetic product in this case it doesn't matter.

Today there are several categories of cosmetics, the use of which has been proven to reduce the effects of skin damage due to air pollution.

Cleansing agents.

In adverse environmental conditions, it is very important to use products that cleanse the skin without injuring it. Any damage to the barrier properties of the skin worsens the situation, therefore, in the period of preparation for surgery or other interventions, you should stop using soap, classic cleansing gels, alcohol-containing products, as well as products containing acids, both alpha and beta acids (salicylic acid , in particular). Preference should be given to micellar cleansers, as well as gentle professional cleansers, including cleansers for sensitive and damaged skin.

Exfoliation.

For deeper cleansing of the skin and removal of dead cells from its surface, on which various toxic chemical compounds settle, it is recommended to gently exfoliate the skin 1-2 times a week, and it is advisable to use enzyme exfoliants and avoid products based on acids or mechanical peels with large particles. .

Prebiotics and probiotics.

As it turned out recently, a healthy microflora of the skin (healthy microbe) is able to destroy benzopyrene and protect the skin from damage by many chemical agents. In addition, prebiotics improve the condition of sensitive skin, reduce the severity of vascular reactions, and are also increasingly used to treat acne, rosacea and atopic dermatitis. Therefore, we are looking for Bioecolia (alpha-oligosaccharide), as well as some enzymes of bacterial origin (Alteromonas Ferment, etc.) in the composition of the products and prescribing them daily use, by applying to cleansed skin before applying the cream. There are also creams that contain prebiotics and probiotics.

Anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant agents.

Here, finally, we can take advantage of a fortunate coincidence: most topical antioxidants also have an anti-inflammatory effect. It is also known that regular use such funds improves skin regeneration after injury, so they are often recommended for use after various interventions. However, the best results can be achieved if they are used not only before, but also after interventions. We pay attention to products with vitamin C, vitamin E, niacinamide, extracts of green tea, blueberries, red grapes, centella asiatica, as well as some other plant extracts. Recently, some substances have been found to have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity: for example, black willow bark extract, the active ingredient of which is salicin.

Protection.

During the preparation for the intervention, it is very important to pay increased attention to protecting the skin from damage. It is hardly possible to expect good results from surgery or laser exposure after, for example, sunburn. Day cream should have a moisturizing and softening effect, as well as protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation. Usually high-quality sunscreens, especially those based on physical filters, at the same time protect the skin well from other damaging factors. Now there are new products, which include chelate compounds that can bind metal salts. But, in general, even creams that are quite familiar to us, containing derivatives of silicones, mineral oil and are difficult to oxidize vegetable oils and their derivatives (jojoba oil, squalane, macadamia, almond, coconut oils) also cope with the task and prevent the contact of damaging substances with the skin.

In summary, in the period of preparation for potentially traumatic interventions (from surgery to permanent makeup), it is very important to pay attention to restoring the protective abilities of the skin and minimizing environmental damage.

The skin of the face is the first to face harmful environmental impacts and needs the support of its resources, which is why Académie Scientifique de Beauté has developed a cosmetic novelty, which the site learned more about.

What is the danger of environmental pollution for our skin

Under the influence of industrial and tobacco smoke, exhaust gases, dry air-conditioned air and other environmental troubles, the skin weakens and loses its ability to perform its barrier function.

So, for example, polluted city air can contain particles of heavy metals, carbon, various gases, which are 20 times smaller than the diameter of a pore on human skin and freely penetrate inside. The causes of skin contamination in everyday life can be chemicals in the materials from which furniture is made, carpets, hygiene products. Every day, the average city dweller comes into contact with thousands of all kinds of pollutants that harm the condition of the skin:

• accelerate the appearance of wrinkles due to the effects of free radicals;
• provoke the development of pigmentation;
• deplete the lipid mantle of the skin and cause its increased dryness;
• cause dull, pale skin and hair color;
• cause breakage and hair loss.

According to some studies, in 80% of cases, the aging process is triggered by the negative influence of the environment (exposure to the sun and air pollution), and only 20% remain due to age and genetic characteristics.

In order to reduce strength harmful effects to the skin of environmental negative factors, Académie Scientifique de Beauté has developed a new product, the “shield for city dwellers”, which helps protect the skin from the effects of pollutants by creating an invisible film on the skin that reliably protects the epidermis.

How to Protect Your Skin from Air Pollutants: Special Hydration

The Académie Institute of Beauty invites you to pay attention to the novelty - the first moisturizer that helps protect the skin from pollution - the Eco-Protection Hydrating Mist makeup fixing spray. It is a reliable "shield" for all skin types, which protects it from air pollutants, helps in the fight against free radicals, and at the same time fixes makeup.

Académie Scientifique de Beauté Eco-Protection Moisturizing Mist offers an ultra-light, second-skin texture that creates an invisible protective film that allows the epidermis to breathe, while still protecting against the penetration of small harmful particles through the pores.

The moisturizing mist is made up of 88% spring water, 5% anti-pollution active ingredients, and 3% a unique moisturizing bio-complex.

You can buy a spray in beauty salons: www.ank.kiev.ua

Anti-pollution active ingredients create a second-skin effect that protects against indoor and outdoor pollutants. This effect is achieved through a fermentation process, and the high molecular weight anionic polysaccharide (2 million daltons), which limits the penetration of external pollutants as much as possible, does not form a dense film on the skin, allowing it to breathe.

The main purpose of anti-pollution active ingredients:

• protection of the epidermis against the accumulation of carbon particles;
• increasing the protection of cells from heavy particles that penetrate the skin and cause oxidative stress, changes in mitochondrial metabolism and lipid peroxidation;
• increasing the protection of the skin from damage resulting from the effects of sulfates, which are contained in hygiene products.

The moisturizing biocomplex allows:

• improve the condition of the skin surface due to active ingredients that help balance the desquamation process and improve skin microrelief;
• restore hydration to damaged hair, penetrating deep into the cuticle, and protect their fibers, restoring shine and silkiness to the hair.

The unique composition of spring water (mineral salts, trace elements and sulfur), mined in the heart of the Midi-Pyrenees from a 64 m deep well, has exceptional moisturizing, soothing and antioxidant properties, which have been repeatedly proven by scientific research.

Moisturizing eco-protection mist is a kind of last touch before leaving the house for the street. The product is used as the last step after skin care - sprayed from a distance of 20 cm on the face, hands and hair. It helps to improve skin tone, give hair a special shine, protect the epidermis from external irritants, ideal for maintaining skin freshness. Moisturizing emulsion can be used not only at home - for skin care and fixing makeup, in the office - to maintain the protective resources of the skin during the day, but also after cosmetic procedures - on the face, neck, décolleté, hands - to withstand urban stress.
