Acting as a barrier, the skin protects the organism from physical (UV, blue light …), chemical (pollutants, allergens …) and biological (virus, bacteria …) factors.

Skin is subject to outside aggression, stress and urban pollution that lead over time to an irregular texture and dilated pores. Because the skin surface becomes irregular, it is less able to reflect light well. In addition, surface skin cell renewal decreases because of microcirculation that has become sluggish.

The eye contour is a very sensible face area. The epidermis is up to 4 times thinner than on other areas on the face. If there is a bad blood circulation (lymphatic or due to vascular permeability increase), subcutaneous pigments are not correctly eliminated and can accumulate. Brown shadows or bluish colors can then appear on these areas, due to this pigments accumulation or to an abnormal vascularization.

Moisturizing has a principal function on the cutaneous renewal, the dermal and epidermal cells good functioning and allows the strengthening of the skin barrier function. Cutaneous microbiota is another barrier for our skin, and is a real layer of the epidermis which is present on all the skin surfaces. It protects the skin and acts as a barrier against environmental attacks. Stabilize the microbial community and recolonize the skin with commensal bacteria constitute an effective and gentle method to fight the dry skin.
