With the time change and variations in weather, our skin faces new challenges: dryness, sensitivity, loss of radiance and signs of fatigue. These factors can weaken its protective barrier and alter its natural balance. To keep it healthy and radiant in any season, it is essential to adapt our skincare routine with products that moisturise, protect and regenerate.
How does the time change affect the skin?
Adjusting the clock can desynchronise our biological rhythm and alter the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep and cell regeneration. This results in duller skin, with signs of fatigue and the appearance of fine lines.
Lack of adequate rest also impacts skin renewal, reducing its ability to retain moisture and defend itself against external aggressions. In other words, poor sleep not only affects our mood, but also the quality of our skin.
And what about the weather?
Weather conditions also have an influence: extreme cold can cause dryness and flaking. Less exposure to the sun in the colder months reduces levels of vitamin D, which is essential for skin health.
On the other hand, humidity and rain can sensitise the skin, making it more prone to irritation and breakouts. And although the sun is eagerly welcomed after months of winter, we must not let our guard down: UV radiation remains a threat if we do not protect our skin properly.
The best ally: hyaluronic acid
At Eleven Obi, we rely on hyaluronic acid as one of the star ingredients to keep skin hydrated and protected from these changes. Its ability to attract and retain water in skin cells helps restore elasticity, combat dryness and add radiance. We incorporate it into our formulas to offer deep care that strengthens the skin’s natural barrier and keeps it healthy all year round.
We recommend applying this active ingredient according to skin type:
In addition, by including Le Jardin Sauvage Toner in our routine, we guarantee optimal hydration for all skin types throughout the day.
Antioxidants: extra radiance
A key aspect to consider during this change of season is the topical use of antioxidants. During the transition between seasons, the skin needs extra radiance and protection. Antioxidants prevent premature ageing and provide a healthy glow.
By incorporating antioxidants into your skincare routine, you not only maintain a more radiant appearance, but also strengthen your defences against aggressive environmental factors. Our The Eleven Radiance Cocktail is ideal for this.
Night-time renewal: the power of the night
Night-time is the perfect time to allow the skin to regenerate and renew itself. While we rest, our skin undergoes repair processes, and it is essential to support it with a proper routine. Incorporating a double cleanse to remove traces of impurities and make-up, followed by products that stimulate cell regeneration, such as our Bakuchiol Deep Resurfacing Elixir, can be an excellent option. Bakuchiol is known for its retinol-like properties, promoting skin renewal without causing irritation or side effects.
