Skin Under Stress - Days on the beach, or days on the slopes 02 Feb 2026

Extreme conditions challenge the skin in more ways than we often realise. Whether it is intense sun and heat to cold, wind, altitude, and air-conditioning. If you are skiing, sun-exposed, or navigating urban pollution – all disrupt the skin barrier, intensive water loss and trigger inflammation.

Intense sun – if you are somewhere hot
After a day in the sun apply a layer of Nescens - Bio-Identical Restoring Mask to calm, repair and rebalance the skin. This anti-aging moisturizing face mask deeply restores the protective function of the skin’s barrier.

Bitterly cold – if you are ski-ing
Apply Prime Regenera II before heading to the slopes, to reinforce the skin barrier and prevent irritation from the wind and prolonged cold exposure. Apply a thick layer to aid repair after sun exposure especially when the skin  feels hot, tight or visibly stressed.

Recovery
Spritz throughout the day with Primary Veil when exposed to extreme conditions. Whether cold, heat, wind, or pollution, maintaining the integrity of the barrier is essential.

Environmental stress often leaves the skin looking dull, fatigued and depleted. Fluide Merveilleux is the ideal choice when the skin needs immediate  luminosity, hydration, and restoring radiance.
