Transepidermal water loss

Do you know that feeling when you wake up and your skin is very dry, your features are tight and your lips are chapped? This is called transepidermal water loss: it is the process by which water escapes from our skin. Although this is completely normal, it is sometimes difficult for your skin to regain its balance. This loss of water makes it more susceptible to dehydration fine lines, it marks more easily, appears dull and this can even cause blemishes.

When is this loss greatest?

Like almost all functions of our body, transepidermal water loss is linked to what is called our chronobiological rhythm . In general, water loss is greatest during the night because that's when your skin works the hardest. If you also sleep with electric heating: the water will only escape faster. Air is like a sponge, if it is dry it will seek moisture around it. This is why you need to strengthen your skin barrier to prevent water from escaping.

How to strengthen your skin barrier?

To protect your skin against this phenomenon, you must strengthen your epidermis by forming a protective film on your skin. Before sleeping, double cleansing with our makeup remover oil will allow your skin to be more comfortable and not dry out.

After cleansing, apply our anti-thirst serum to provide a shot of hydration to the skin. This will allow your skin to maintain a good level of hydration. Then apply a few drops of our night oil . It will seal the active ingredients of the serum and form a protective film for your skin. The oil will act as an anti-dehydration shield for your skin.
