Tips for a radiant complexion.

Whether it's summer or winter, hydration is paramount. The more dehydrated the skin is, the more porous it becomes to the sun's UV rays, the duller it appears, and the greater the risks of sunburn and photoaging become.

Choose moisturising treatments according to your skin type (dry, oily, normal...) and apply them daily, morning and evening. For the face, you could, for example, use the hydrating facial serum which contains 3% hyaluronic acid. Light, this serum absorbs quickly, allowing you to then apply the face moisturising cream with 9 ingredients. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and organic coconut oil, it's a minimalist formula that hydrates and nourishes the epidermis. Its light and non-greasy texture is suitable for dry, normal and combination skin, even sensitive ones.

Exposure to the sun's UV rays results in a thickening of the skin. The stratum corneum, composed of dead cells, becomes thicker. This is a natural protective phenomenon. Indeed, this thicker epidermis will better block UV rays. However, this accumulation of dead cells contributes to a dull complexion.

It is therefore recommended toapply a sunscreen every dayand to renew it regularly (every two hours) for optimal skin protection against the harmful rays of the sun, particularly when the sun is at its zenith, that is, between 11am and 3pm.

Some vegetable oils are rich in carotenoids, compounds that boost skin radiance. This is the case with the buriti oil and the carrot macerate for example.

Ourburiti botanical blend is composed of 6 plant extracts rich in beta-carotene, including buriti oil and carrot macerate. It revives the complexion's radiance and provides an immediate subtle tan. Please note, this is not a self-tanner. Apply a few drops to the face and neck in the morning and/or evening as the final step in your usual facial care routine.

Various foods contain vitamins and nutrients that act on the epidermis to revive its radiance. Therefore, favour a diet rich in the following compounds:

• Vitamin A: Recognised for stimulating cellular regeneration and slowing down skin ageing, this element is primarily found in fatty fish, butter, and milk (which should still be consumed in moderation);

• The beta-carotene (or pro-vitamin A) : This component helps to stimulate the production of melanin evenly. Consuming it prepares the skin for tanning and gives a healthy glow. Many fruits and vegetables contain it (carrot, pumpkin, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, watercress, green salad, apricot, melon, peach, mango...);

• The vitamins C and E (or tocopherol) : These potent antioxidants combat free radicals and also revive the skin's radiance. Vitamin E is found in fatty fish, the liver of lean fish (cod liver, monkfish) olive oil, walnut oil... Vitamin C, on the other hand, is mainly composed of citrus fruits, kiwi, blackcurrant, but also parsley and cabbage;

• The selenium : This trace element provides a complementary action to vitamin E to protect cells from oxidation caused by free radicals. It is present in whole grains, seeds, and nuts.

Note: Foods such as processed meats or those offered in fast food restaurants are not recommended. It is wise to limit the consumption of alcoholic beverages which contribute to the dilation of blood vessels.
