Transepidermal water loss

You know that feeling when you wake up and your skin is very dry, your features are drawn, and your lips are chapped? This is called transepidermal water loss: it's the process by which water escapes from our skin. While completely normal, it can sometimes be difficult for your skin to regain its balance. This water loss makes it more sensitive to dehydration lines, it shows marks more easily, looks dull, and can even cause imperfections.

When is this loss most significant?

Like almost all functions of our body, transepidermal water loss is linked to what is called our chronobiological rhythm. Generally, water loss is most significant at night because that's when your skin works the most. If you also sleep with electric heating, water will escape even faster. The air is like a sponge; if it's dry, it will seek moisture around it. That's why you need to strengthen your skin barrier to prevent water from escaping.

How to strengthen your skin barrier?

To protect your skin from this phenomenon, you need to strengthen your epidermis by forming a protective film on your skin. Before sleeping, a double cleanse with our makeup remover oil will make your skin more comfortable and prevent it from drying out.

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

 Before sleeping, apply our TensioLift Night Balm to seal in your skin's hydration overnight, preventing water from evaporating. This allows the skin to maintain a good level of hydration and appear visibly plumped upon waking.
For even more comfort, apply a few drops of our TensioLift Oil. It will seal in the active ingredients of the Balm and form a protective film for your skin, acting as an anti-dehydration shield for your skin.
