Skin: how can you help it heal better?

Les premiers réflexes

Lorsque les risques de surinfection sont écartés (au moindre doute ou en cas de
blessure importante, il est évidemment conseillé de consulter un médecin), voici les bons gestes que vous pourriez adopter :

- pour une plaie superficielle, nettoyez la peau lésée à l’eau savonneuse, bien la
sécher (toujours sans frotter). Utilisez un spray désinfectant si nécessaire.

Lorsque la peau est parfaitement sèche, vous pouvez appliquer un pansement (pensez à le renouveler très régulièrement).

À tous les stades de la cicatrisation, il est conseillé de protéger la peau du soleil
(avec une crème minérale ou le port de vêtements sur la zone concernée), en effetl’épiderme est plus sensible et l’exposition au soleil pourrait pigmenter la peau (la cicatrice devient alors plus foncée, empêchant en même temps une bonne cicatrisation des tissus).

Consommer des aliments riches en zinc et en vitamines A, C et E pourrait également avoir un impact positif sur la cicatrisation, donc il ne faut pas négliger de bien se nourrir.

THE FIRST THOUGHT

Once the risk of superinfection has been ruled out (if in doubt, or in the event of a serious injury, it is obviously advisable to consult a doctor), here are the steps you can take :

- For a superficial wound, clean the injured skin with soapy water and
dry it well (always without rubbing). Use a disinfectant spray if necessary.

When the skin is completely dry, you can apply a dressing (remember to renew it regularly).

At all stages of healing, it is advisable to protect the skin from the sun
(with a mineral cream or by wearing clothing over the area concerned), as the epidermis is more sensitive and exposure to the sun could pigment the skin (the scar would then become darker, preventing the tissues from healing properly).

Eating foods rich in zinc and vitamins A, C and E could also have a positive impact on healing, so don't neglect to eat well.

HOW CAN I REDUCE AN OLDER SCAR?

Regular treatment of an old scar will make it softer and less visible. However, avoid overly aggressive scrubs (which are not really recommended for damaged skin).

Always clean the area concerned before applying your skin care product. Simply massage Relax Isotonic into the scar, making sure the cream is thoroughly absorbed.

The skin is deeply moisturised and regains its elasticity, and the massage will naturally stimulate cell renewal.

It takes time, but you have to be persistent, because regularity really is everything!

IN ALL CASES: MASSAGE AND MOISTURISE!

If the scar is still inflamed, avoid touching it.
Otherwise, always make sure you use your skin care products on impeccably cleansed skin.

To help healing and relax the tissues, use a treatment such as Relax Isotonic.

Your treatment is truly tolerated by all skin types. Thanks to its high moisturising and disinfectant properties, it is perfect for all the other stages of healing.

Applied with very gentle massages (two or three times a day), it penetrates instantly: the skin is softer, more supple and hydrated from the inside out, so it heals better.

All you have to do now is relax.
