Why does winter heighten skin sensitivity?
The winter season is sensitive skin's number one enemy. Several factors come into play:
- Cold and wind, which attack the skin barrier
- Sudden changes in temperature between indoors and outdoors
- Central heating, which dries out the air
- A natural decrease in the production of protective lipids
The result: the skin becomes more reactive and drier, and loses its ability to defend itself. Skin discomfort sets in, sometimes accompanied by premature ageing.
Sensitive skin or sensitised skin: telling the difference
Sensitive skin is often a long-term condition of genetic origin.
Sensitised skin, on the other hand, is temporarily weakened by repeated aggressors (climate, stress, unsuitable skincare).
In both cases, the priority is the same: repair the skin barrier, hydrate in depth and soothe lastingly.
Innerskin's aesthetic medicine solution: Profhilo
For skin lacking comfort, suppleness and resilience, Profhilo is a particularly well-suited aesthetic medicine solution.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an injectable treatment based on highly pure hyaluronic acid, designed to intensely hydrate the skin and stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin.
A simple, effective protocol
-
2 sessions, spaced 1 month apart
- A gradual treatment that respects sensitive skin
- A visible improvement in hydration, elasticity and skin comfort
Profhilo acts as a true skin rebalancer, ideal in winter to strengthen the skin from within.
The skincare solution: Mesotides® Age Recovery Cream
As a complement or an alternative, Innerskin has developed an expert skincare response: the Mesotides® Age Recovery Cream.
Why Mesotides?
Mesotides are biomimetic active ingredients capable of:
- Restoring the skin's barrier function
- Soothing feelings of discomfort and redness
- Stimulating skin regeneration
- Preserving the skin's youthfulness
An ideal skincare product for winter
Its cocooning, repairing texture nourishes intensely without irritating, even the most reactive skin. Day after day, the skin is more comfortable, more resilient and visibly smoother.
The Innerskin approach: repair, soothe, prevent
At Innerskin, we are convinced that caring for sensitive skin requires a synergy between targeted aesthetic treatments and high-precision skincare.
In winter, combining Profhilo, for deep, lasting action, with the Mesotides® Age Recovery Cream, for daily protection, restores the skin's balance and gives it long-lasting comfort.
