Cellular renewal and beauty of the skin
The skin regeneration process allows you to renew your skin and eliminate dead cells. In fact, over time and with certain factors such as UV rays, the skin tends to thicken. Cell renewal helps you combat this phenomenon and allows you to naturally eliminate dead skin thanks to invisible desquamation. It helps you keep your skin thin for longer, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and slow down the signs of skin aging .
But when the cell renewal mechanism falters, due to stress, obesity, tobacco, pollution, UV rays and aging, certain actions help you optimize it!
How long does cell renewal take?
Cell renewal takes place between 21 and 28 days. However, this replacement process declines with age, leading to a buildup of older cells and contributing to skin aging. The epidermis constantly gets rid of dead cells. The skin regenerates 24/7, but it will be more active at night between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m.
Tip #1: exfoliate
It is impossible to talk about skin cell renewal without talking about exfoliation . Indeed, a gentle but regular exfoliation of the epidermis optimizes cell renewal, so that your cells are always active.
The scrub acts in two stages: it eliminates dead skin which tends to dull the complexion, and it stimulates the cycle of regeneration of new cells.
You can choose from:
-
The mechanical scrub: it takes the form of a cream or gel within which we find more or less fine grains. Thanks to massages, these grains rub the epidermis, and eliminate residues and dead cells;
-
chemical exfoliants: they use active ingredients such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHA) to dissolve the bonds between dead cells, and eliminate them from the skin. surface of the skin.

Tip #2: Perform facial massages
Facial massages activate blood circulation and promote the renewal of facial skin cells. Every evening, you can perform a relaxing massage by applying your night cream.
Start by massaging the eye contour with your eye contour gel : use your index and middle fingers, starting from the inside outwards, on the eyebrows and on the bony part, under the eye.
Then warm your gel or serum in the palms of your hands, then apply to the entire face, with your hands flat, going from the chin to the top of the cheeks, then from the nose to the top of the forehead.
Then redraw the oval of the face by sliding your thumb and index finger from the chin to the base of the ears. From the corners of the lips to the temples, deeply lift the cheeks and cheekbones with firm pressure.

Tip #3: hydrate the skin
To boost cellular renewal, hydrate your skin. Consume between 1.5 and 2.5 L of water each day, including the water contained in your food.
For your skincare routine, choose cosmetic products rich in emollient active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, plant squalane , glycerin , oils, plant butters or even minerals.
Grangettes Soothing Cream and Anti-Aging Cream contain allantoin, hyaluronic acid, and squalane, active ingredients that intensely hydrate the skin and help nourish and strengthen the epidermal structure.
Tip #4: Consume enough vitamins
Certain vitamins, such as vitamins A, C and E support the growth of new skin cells. They thus contribute to maintaining the youth and vitality of the skin.
You can find them in many foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and even oily fish.
Tip #5: Let your skin breathe
Once a month, or at each change of season, for 24 hours, let your skin breathe by performing what is called a "young cosmetic". It allows you to leave your skin bare, to optimize cell renewal, throughout the day, and help your epidermis to regain its natural mechanisms. Start by washing your face in the morning with Grangettes purifying facial gel : it offers a delicate exfoliation that eliminates dead cells.
Then simply apply the hydrosol of your choice, and do not apply anything else to your skin for 24 hours, that is to say until the next morning.

Tip #6: Get restful sleep
To strengthen the cellular renewal of your skin, sleep is fundamental. Indeed, day and night, our skin works.
While you sleep, between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., the skin activates cell regeneration and epidermal strengthening. At 1 a.m., skin activity is maximum: your cell renewal is tripled compared to the same mechanism at 1 p.m.
In the evening, apply your anti-aging treatment, your moisturizing treatment or your anti-imperfection treatment, depending on your skin problems. Maintain a regular sleep schedule, going to bed and getting up at the same time each day, and aim to get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night.
