When the body is exposed to physical, mental or sensorial stimuli, the natural biological reaction is a phenomenon we know as stress. This reaction is broken down into two stages: resistance and exhaustion.
Anti-Stress Program
When a stress stimulus persists, your body and skin enter the resistance stage and the skin is said to be stressed. Your body concentrates all of its resources on restoring its balance. It begins secreting neurotransmitters such as soothing endorphins or stimulating dopamines…Stress at this stage is a stimulating agent for the body and enables the body to react. The 24-hours Anti-Stress Program with cocoa, Orange and Lavender extracts help your body resist stress:
- promoting the stimulation of “happiness molecules”
- eliminating tension
- boosting energy
B-Endorphins - “Happiness Molecules”
beta-Endorphins are neurotransmitters that are secreted during periods of stress. These “feel-good” chemical messengers and natural pain-relieving analgesics stimulate skin activity during times of stress. Certain Cocoa extracts stimulate their production.
Vitality Program
If the stress continues or has already used up all your cells’ energy reserves, you enter the exhaustion stage. Your skin becomes lined and tends to be tight and drawn on the surface, it is tired. Because your skin is weakened, it is extremely sensitive to harsh external elements. Physiological disruptions cause its condition to change. Dry skin becomes even drier and combination skin becomes oilier. The 24-hour Vitality Program with Soy Proteins protects, restructures and firms your skin.
Stressed skin consumes energy and tired skin is left with no energy. Without energy, your skin loses its radiance and your complexion becomes dull. The Energy-Radiance skincare products accompany the two energizing programs to revive your skin’s radiance, brighten your complexion, and life your mood.
