How to protect and recover your skin with bio-identical skincare

As winter settles in, the cold air and indoor heating can leave your skin feeling dry, tight, and dull. The lack of moisture in the air, combined with harsher environmental conditions, makes winter the perfect time to focus on hydration and skin recovery. But how can you protect your skin from the effects of these conditions while ensuring it stays nourished and glowing? The answer lies in bio-identical skincare—a groundbreaking approach that uses products formulated with ingredients identical to those naturally found in your skin, promoting superior hydration, repair, and overall skin health.

At Nescens Switzerland, we’ve created a powerful, scientifically advanced range of bio-identical skincare products designed to restore your skin’s balance and protect it from environmental stressors.

During the colder months, your skin is exposed to extreme weather conditions that can strip away its natural moisture, leaving it vulnerable to irritation and premature aging. Cold air, wind, and indoor heating all contribute to transepidermal water loss (TEWL), causing the skin to become drier, rougher, and more prone to wrinkles. Without proper hydration, the skin’s barrier function weakens, making it harder to defend against pollutants and harmful bacteria.

This is why it’s essential to step up your hydration game in the winter. But it’s not just about slathering on a moisturizer. To truly protect and recover your skin, you need a routine that nurtures it from within and restores its ability to retain moisture. Bio-identical skincare does just that, by providing your skin with the exact molecules it needs to function optimally.

While daily hydration is crucial, twice a week indulgence in a restoring mask can provide an extra dose of moisture and recovery. The bio-identical ingredients in our mask help to deeply strengthen your skin’s structure, helping to prevent moisture loss and keep hydration locked in. By maintaining a perfect balance of water and lipids, it ensures your skin stays nourished, smooth, and youthful-looking. By using the mask once a week for 15 minutes, you give your skin an intensive treatment that promotes long-lasting hydration and softness, helping it bounce back from the harsh effects of winter.

By providing a powerful dose of bio-identical lipids, vitamin C and glycerin, the restoring mask boosts collagen production, ensures optimal hydration and quickly absorbs into the skin.

The key to a well-hydrated, balanced complexion is a carefully curated skincare routine. Start with a double cleanse at night to ensure your skin is free from impurities, makeup, and environmental pollutants. Begin with the cleansing gel composed of anti-dryness complex base, a gentle effective formula for radiant skin that removes dirt and excess oil without stripping the skin. This first step ensures your skin is clean and ready to absorb the nourishing ingredients in the next stages of your routine.

Next, apply the rehydrating serum —a lightweight, fast-absorbing product that delivers active ingredients deep into the skin- and mix it with a few drops of the high-power defence booster on the back of your hand, this booster shields your skin from environmental agressors. The bio-identical serum is enriched with hydrating agents that mimic the skin’s own natural moisture retention processes especially by stimulation hyaluronic acid synthesis by keratinocytes and acts as an excellend moisturizing agent.This helps lock in moisture at the cellular level and prepares your skin to better absorb the next steps in your routine. More than hydration, the rehydrating serum revitalizes and strenghtens the skin barrier and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

The bio-identical replenishing cream is designed to restore and protect your skin’s natural barrier, providing deep nourishment and locking in moisture for a soft, smooth complexion. This rich yet lightweight cream replenishes lipids, which are essential for maintaining your skin's hydration and elasticity, leaving it feeling balanced and resilient.

Even in winter, it’s crucial to finish your skincare routine with a sunscreen. UV rays can penetrate through clouds and still cause damage to your skin, leading to premature aging and irritation. Applying sunscreen every day not only shields your skin from harmful rays but also acts as an excellent base for makeup, helping it to go on smoothly and last longer. Protecting your skin from the sun year-round is essential for keeping it healthy, radiant, and youthful.
