Why our skin loves trace elements
Trace elements, those tiny particles with great powers, play an indisputable role in our health and beauty. They are the raw material of our bodies, the silent artisans of our well-being. As a modern woman, aware of the importance of taking care of yourself and your skin, you're no doubt already aware of the role played by these micro-nutrients. But do you really know why they are so important for your skin?
At IUM, we believe in the power of natural elements to reveal natural beauty. Our high-end products are enriched with trace elements chosen for their ability to nourish, revitalize and protect your skin. But why have we chosen to focus on trace elements? Why does your skin seem to absorb them more easily and with better results than other active ingredients?
TRACE ELEMENTS AND THE HUMAN BODY
Trace elements are an integral part of our bodies, even if they are only present in very small quantities. These tiny elements, invisible to the naked eye, have an immense impact on our health and well-being, playing essential roles in the physiological processes that keep our bodies functioning optimally.
One of these processes is maintaining the skin's balance. As our body's greatest protective barrier, the skin is continually exposed to external aggressors, whether pollution, UV rays or simple aging. To resist these aggressions and remain in good health, it needs numerous nutrients, including trace elements.
Elements such as zinc, magnesium, potassium and sodium play fundamental roles in skin health. Zinc, for example, is essential for skin tissue repair and acne prevention. Magnesium supports skin cell function and helps soothe inflammation. Potassium maintains the skin's water balance, while sodium helps maintain fluid balance in skin cells.
These trace elements are involved in processes as varied as energy production, cell formation, regulation of bodily functions, and defense against disease. However, our bodies are not capable of producing these trace elements on their own. We must therefore obtain them through our diet or by applying skin care products.
The role of trace elements in skin health is undeniable. But why are they so effective in skin care products? And how does our skin assimilate them? To answer these questions, we need to understand how our bodies absorb and use these elements, and how this compares to the absorption of other active ingredients.
ASSIMILATION OF TRACE ELEMENTS: A NATURAL SYMBIOSIS
One of the miracles of human biology lies in our ability to assimilate and use a multitude of different substances to maintain optimal health and function. Among these substances, trace elements occupy a special place. Despite their small size, these minerals have a major influence on our health and are extremely effective when used in skin care products. But why?
To understand this phenomenon, we first need to understand how trace elements are absorbed by our skin. When a skin care product containing trace elements is applied, the skin immediately begins to absorb these minerals. Because of their tiny size and ionic charge, trace elements can penetrate the skin barrier with remarkable ease. This ability to penetrate the skin is one of the reasons why trace elements are so effective in skin care products.
But the story doesn't end there. Once inside the skin, trace elements begin to work in sync with skin cells. Whether it's Zinc that helps regulate sebum production and reduce inflammation, Magnesium that stimulates cell regeneration, or Sodium that helps maintain skin hydration, each trace element plays a vital role.
In comparison, many other active ingredients, although important for skin health, may have difficulty being as effective. Their larger size or different chemical structure can make it difficult for them to be absorbed through the skin barrier, limiting their effectiveness.
Another key benefit of trace elements is the ease with which our bodies recognize and use them. In fact, our bodies are made up of a multitude of trace elements. They are present in every cell, tissue and organ. As a result, our bodies are naturally programmed to recognize and use these active ingredients. So it's not surprising that when you apply a skin care product containing trace elements, your skin absorbs them quickly and effectively.
In short, when you nourish your skin with trace elements, you're giving it exactly what it needs to thrive. You offer your skin a cocktail of nutrients that it recognizes, absorbs and uses to regenerate, strengthen and maintain an optimal moisture balance. In return, your skin rewards you with a healthy, radiant appearance.
HOW TO INTEGRATE TRACE ELEMENTS INTO YOUR BEAUTY ROUTINE
Morning : Start the day with a gentle cleansing of your skin. Look for gentle cleansers that contain trace elements such as zinc, known to regulate sebum production and reduce inflammation. After cleansing, apply a moisturizer that contains trace elements such as Magnesium, which promotes cell regeneration. You'll find a concentrate of Zinc in our Gelée Oligo Nettoyantewhich cleanses while regulating skin balance.
All day long : Keep your skin hydrated and glowing by regularly using products containing trace elements. Mineral water-based moisturizing sprays, for example, can be an excellent way of rehydrating your skin throughout the day. They not only provide much-needed hydration, but also a dose of minerals such as Sodium to maintain your skin's moisture balance.
Evening: Your skin needs to regenerate after a long day. Opt for a gentle cleanser that contains trace elements to help eliminate impurities and toxins. After cleansing, nourish your skin with a cream rich in trace elements to promote cell regeneration overnight. For optimum effect, we recommend you try the combination of Plumping Serum and Youth Cream. Respectively based on Potassium and Calcium to regulate the skin's moisture content!
Once a week: Give your skin an intensive treatment using a trace element mask. These masks can help strengthen the skin's connective tissue and improve its elasticity, giving your skin a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Incorporating trace elements into your skincare routine can have profoundly beneficial effects. Not only are these minerals essential for optimal skin function, they are also easily recognized and utilized by our bodies, making their application particularly effective. Try incorporating them into your routine and watch your skin transform.
