Everyday, new "miracle" methods are flourishing and give us hope for exceptional skin. In sweeping all the proposed solutions, we found three false good ideas which, if they fail to keep their promises, are still far too common. Decryption.

"You have to stack layers of care like 'layering'"

Layering, the art of cosmetic millefeuille from Asia, is still emulated. But in reality, "the only real thing our skin needs is to avoid aggression," says Dr. Sandrine Sebban, aesthetic doctor.

"For some allergists, there are a lot of problems because we overload our skin with active ingredients, you have to know that the face has its own ecosystem with its bacteria, and that most formulas contain preservatives.Their role is to destroy bacteria without to make the difference between the good and the bad, "explains Cyrille Telinge, creator of Novexpert who advises above all an armored care in antioxidants .

Suitable for all skin types and all ages, ingredients such as vitamin C , vitamin E , or polyphenols are the most "all-terrain" anti-aging .

One cream is not enough? "We associate the serum of the same range, they are formulated to work in synergy and this is where our skin will get the maximum benefit," advises Joelle Ciocco, skin care expert L'Oreal Paris.

If we are often in the open air, we put on a tinted treatment with a light sunscreen to limit the radical actions of UV ", advises Dr. Sandrine Sebban.

"Without botox, from the first ride, everything is lost"

"If we freeze the area of ​​the crow's feet too young, the fold will then mark below and, ultimately, the wrinkle will be wider," says Dr. Sandrine Sebban.

"The top of the top in cosmeto to delay the injection is hyaluronic acid , the quilt of cells," says Cyrille Telinge at Novexpert. Ideally present in different formulas under several molecular weights (high, low, fragmented ...) to be able to act at the level of the superficial filling, the interior repulping and the deep hydration of our wrinkles. "

Another good reflex: the massage. "It's a must to stimulate microcirculation and boost cell production," says Joëlle Ciocco, epidermologist. "The secret is consistency: to see real results, five minutes a week will always be more effective than twenty minutes once a month," adds the expert. To act, it is recommended to make a few pinches along the ride, but Chico Shigeta, shiatsu specialist, gives us another gesture: "With the fingertips, we can massage in small circles our scalp at the level of the forehead's hairline, before going down to the ears, circling it and finishing at the nape of the neck, a kind of little manual facelift , rather bluffing. "

And if the wrinkle is really too marked, it is quite possible to "do some non-ablative fractional laser sessions.In three to four appointments spaced a month, the collagen is reboosted and injection repulsed", concludes Sandrine Sebban. It will still be about 800 euros for an entire facial treatment.

"Go to bed without night care, it's forbidden"

If, chronobiologically, the skin is recharged at night, you must also know that it adapts easily. If you bring her too many active people in the evening, she will get used to it and become a little lazy. So do not get used to it. "Ideally we should have a fasting cut two nights a week to breathe in. This break time thus helps to eliminate toxins freely (what the skin does naturally between 11 pm and 4 am)", explains Cyrille Telinge at Novexpert.

The only exception to the rule: dry skin and those who are very exposed to aggression are in need of care every night.

The good reflex for this routine to be effective is to perform a meticulous cleansing in two steps. "A first pass to rid the skin of makeup, a second to clean our shield (the ecosystem of our skin)", recommends Joelle Ciocco. "With the same product, we start with a first phase with cottons, then we massage our oil, our milk, our cream or our micellar water to the fingers, and rinse with water," adds the expert.

With these few explanations, everything is clearer. We especially remember that for our skin also the adage "less is more" is king.
