Fine, flat hair: what are the solutions to regain volume?
You know that feeling: you step out of the shower, everything feels light… then two hours later, flat roots and limp lengths. Good news: for fine hair, volume isn't just a matter of luck. It's often a question of routine, technique, and application . This article shows: which tends to make fine hair stick together, The right techniques for creating volume without a cardboard effect. and a routine designed for that: Airlift , our new strength & volume product with peptide complex . Fine hair: why does it fall out so quickly? Fine hair has a smaller diameter: it is more prone to damage (sebum, humidity, friction) and weighs down more easily. Among the most frequent causes: Roots get greasy quickly : sebum weighs down the base and the hair lies flat. Too much care, or not in the right place : a rich treatment applied near the roots can flatten. Accumulation (products, pollution, hard water): hair loses its lightness. Bad drying technique : head down for 10 seconds then let it dry flat… and the volume shuts off. Heat/poorly controlled blow-drying : too hot or too close, and the fiber becomes too soft. The objective: to lighten at the root + strengthen the fiber , without overloading the lengths. The Volume Method: 6 Steps That Make a Real Difference 1) Shampoo: focus on roots, not lengths Massage the scalp with your fingertips (or with a massage brush) then let the mousse glide down the lengths. Result: more aerial roots, without unnecessarily "stripping" the roots. 2) Rinse longer than you think. On fine hair, a quick rinse often leaves residue that weighs it down. Aim for a thorough rinse, especially at the nape of the neck. 3) Detangling treatment: only for mid-lengths/ends For fine hair, the golden rule is: never apply to the scalp . Apply, detangle, rinse. 4) Drying: gives direction to the roots Gently squeeze out excess water without rubbing. Then dry by lifting the roots (with your fingers or a brush), alternating sections. Even 2 minutes makes a difference. 5) Less product, better product Start small (a dab, then adjust). Fine hair says “thank you” when you avoid overdosing. 6) Quick tip “volume adjustment” When possible: a mini scalp massage, a slightly displaced ray, and a quick root drying. Simple, quick, efficient. Focus routine: Airlift, 3 simple steps for a more "airy" effect For fine and fragile hair, we have imagined Airlift : a three-step strength & volume routine, designed to create hold without weighing hair down. 1) Airlift shampoo It cleanses gently and is part of a routine designed to strengthen the hair fiber and leave the scalp feeling fresher, ready for more volume. [TO BE CONFIRMED: exact wording on-pack] 2) Airlift detangler A key step when you want volume without tangles : it helps keep lengths soft and easy to style, while remaining lightweight. [TO BE CONFIRMED: exact benefits on-pack] 3) Airlift spray serum (with peptides) The "boost" technique: spray on the roots, then massage quickly to help lift the root and give a more lasting feeling of volume. Tip: 2-3 sprays, no more. Then hang upside down for 10 seconds + quick massage = winning combo. Peptides: why we love them in a strength & volume routine Peptides are small chains of amino acids used in cosmetics to contribute to a stronger , more toned hair fiber feel. In a "volume" routine, the idea is simple: to support hair's hold without using heavy textures. 👉 To remain fully compliant, we speak of “contributes to / helps to” and we align with what is indicated on the pack. Mistakes that ruin volume (even with good products) Apply the treatment too high (near the roots) Overdosing on serum/leave-in “just in case” Neglecting rinsing Dry flat without lifting the roots Apply multiple layers (foam + cream + oil + spray…) to fine hair The right approach: a short, well-placed, well-balanced routine. Conclusion Fine, flat hair is not inevitable. With the right techniques (rinsing, applying treatment, drying) and a routine designed for lightness and hold , volume becomes much easier to achieve… and maintain. Want to go Airlift? Discover the shampoo + conditioner + spray serum routine with peptide complex and choose uncompromising volume.

Brittle hair: solutions to repair and strengthen
Brittle hair: what can be done to strengthen it permanently? When hair becomes brittle, the fiber seems to lose strength day after day. Lengths thin, the texture becomes rough, and breakage occurs with the slightest brushing. This very common phenomenon is not inevitable. Understanding its causes, identifying the right treatments, and adopting a suitable routine can truly transform the health and suppleness of the hair fiber. This comprehensive guide will help you strengthen your hair permanently and regain soft, shiny, and vibrant locks. Why do hairs become brittle? Understanding the mechanism of hair breakage Hair breakage develops gradually. The first stage involves the degradation of the cuticle , the thin protective layer that covers the hair fiber. As soon as it lifts or wears down, the hair loses its ability to retain moisture and becomes more vulnerable. Over time, the internal cohesion of the hair fiber decreases. Keratin no longer performs its structural role properly, and the hair becomes fragile. The lengths, already exposed to friction and heat, then become increasingly sensitive. This progressive weakening explains why breakage can be localized to certain areas, particularly the mid-lengths or the ends. The most frequent causes Several factors weaken the hair fiber on a daily basis. Intensive use of heat styling tools is one of the main culprits: excessive heat dries out the fiber and damages the cuticle. Repeated coloring and bleaching also sensitize the cortex and make the hair more brittle. Other causes are more insidious: a lack of hydration, a deficiency in essential nutrients, or friction from the pillow, towel, or tight hairstyles that pull on the hair fiber. Finally, an unbalanced, irritated, or excessively dry scalp can weaken hair growth. Tell-tale signs Several signs indicate that breakage is setting in. Split ends are often the first symptom. The lengths become dull, rough, and difficult to style, giving the sensation of hair that "cracks" between the fingers. Breakage can also appear in localized areas, for example , in the middle of the head , often linked to a repetitive motion or particular friction. Brittle hair: what to do first? Reduce daily aggression The first step is to limit all sources of damage. Heating appliances should be used sparingly, and when necessary, only at a low temperature. Opt for natural drying or drying with a microfiber towel to avoid stretching the fibers. It can also be helpful to space out chemical coloring treatments to allow hair time to regenerate. A few weeks' break is sometimes enough to see a noticeable improvement in softness and strength. Restore fiber hydration Hydration is one of the cornerstones of preventing breakage. A gentle, non-stripping cleansing product allows you to clean without stripping the hair fiber of its protective film. Conditioner plays a vital role: its nourishing texture makes detangling easier and reduces mechanical breakage. Repairing masks, applied weekly, provide a true hydration boost. Their extended application time allows the active ingredients to penetrate deeply and restore the hair fiber's suppleness. Choose skincare products rich in fortifying active ingredients. Certain molecules are particularly effective at strengthening the hair fiber. Collagen is one of the most efficient: it improves resistance and elasticity by forming a support structure around the hair. Regular intake helps reduce visible breakage and restore body to weakened lengths. The role of plant collagen in repairing brittle hair A key asset for strengthening the fiber Plant-based collagen is a valuable ally for fragile hair. It improves the hair's natural elasticity, which limits breakage during brushing or styling. By strengthening the cohesion of the hair fiber, it also helps the hair retain moisture better. Hair thus becomes more supple, reducing breakage caused by friction or external factors. Why does Énergie Fruit rely on plant-based collagen? Plant-based collagen offers several advantages. It provides a natural alternative to animal-derived collagen, which comes from marine or bovine tissues. Formulas containing it remain gentle, respectful of the scalp, and suitable for sensitized hair. Combined with vitamin B , it further enhances hair repair thanks to its coating effect. Energy Fruit skincare products based on plant-based collagen Énergie Fruit has developed a complete range of restorative skincare products based on plant collagen: Collagen Repair Shampoo – Sulfate-free offers a gentle cleansing that preserves the fiber while providing a first repairing step. The 2-in-1 Collagen Repair Reconstituting Mask – Silicone-free smooths lengths, facilitates detangling and strengthens the fiber by reducing breakage from the first uses. The SOS Intense Repair Hair Serum – Plant Collagen intensely nourishes the hair fiber. Its rich texture enhances its anti-breakage action and provides lasting repair. How to permanently treat brittle hair? Adopt a complete Energy Fruit hair care routine A complete routine relies on several complementary actions: gentle cleansing, detangling without damage, strengthening the hair fiber, and protecting it. The Collagen Repair Routine combines these steps in a program designed to reduce breakage in four to six weeks. Using the range together promotes visible improvements in hair strength and softness. Use hair care products suited to your hair type Each hair type has its own specific needs. Dry hair requires intense nourishment, while curly hair needs a balance between hydration and definition. Straight hair needs more lightness to maintain its shine, while brittle, falling hair must be handled gently and strengthened at every step of the routine. Limiting mechanical damage Certain seemingly insignificant actions can cause repeated breakage. It's best to detangle hair starting at the ends and working your way up to the roots. A soft-bristled brush helps minimize snagging. Loose, protective hairstyles reduce friction along the lengths and protect the ends. Daily routine: essential steps to prevent breakage Good habits after showering Right after washing, hair is more vulnerable. It's essential to avoid rubbing with a regular towel and opt for a soft material. A protective leave-in conditioner can be applied to damp, lightly towel-dried hair to aid detangling and strengthen the hair fiber. Thermal and environmental protection Heat is one of the main enemies of brittle hair. Reducing the temperature of heated styling tools or spacing out their use helps preserve the cuticle. It is also recommended to use a heat protectant before each exposure. External aggressors such as UV rays or pollution can also damage the hair fiber, hence the importance of appropriate protective treatments. Maintaining lengths over time Taking care of your hair lengths over the long term helps prevent new breakage. Trimming the ends regularly, avoiding tight elastics, and moisturizing the ends between shampoos are simple steps that have a real impact on the quality of the hair fiber.

Its practical and elegant format makes it an excellent option for providing comprehensive care to someone with damaged hair.

Hair care routine for curly hair: a complete guide
Hair care routine for curly hair: the complete guide to gorgeous locks Curly hair is beautiful, strong, textured, and unique. Its spiral structure, natural density, and ability to form tight curls make it a truly special hair type. These characteristics, however, require a specific, structured, and regular hair care routine. Curly hair dehydrates very quickly, tangles easily, and can break if the care isn't right. Yet, when it receives a complete and gentle routine, it reveals its full beauty: defined, supple, shiny, and healthy curls. This comprehensive guide will help you develop an effective, natural hair care routine suitable for all curly textures, whether short, long, fragile, or very thick. Understanding the unique needs of kinky hair A naturally dry and fragile fiber The main characteristic of curly hair lies in its spiral structure. This particular shape limits the diffusion of natural sebum from the roots to the ends. As a result, the lengths lack protection and dry out quickly. This dryness makes the hair fiber more fragile and prone to breakage. Without regular nourishment, the hair shrinks, loses elasticity, and becomes difficult to style. To compensate for this natural fragility, curly hair needs a nourishing routine based on treatments rich in butters and plant oils. High porosity requiring continuous hydration Curly hair often has medium to high porosity. This means that the slightly open cuticles allow moisture to penetrate but don't retain it for long. To maintain the hair fiber's suppleness, it's essential to regularly apply water and moisturizing agents (aloe vera, vegetable glycerin). Curly hair is also very sensitive to external aggressors: friction, hard water, pollution, and temperature variations. Without continuous hydration and appropriate protection, the fiber becomes dull, rough and brittle. High density and natural volume Curly hair is often thick, dense, and voluminous. This density is a strength, but it requires methodical care. Sectioning is essential so that each strand receives the same attention, the same product, and the same moisture. This also makes detangling easier and reduces the formation of knots. When properly maintained, this natural density allows for hair full of movement and vitality. The essential steps of a hair care routine for curly hair Step 1 – The protective pre-shampoo Pre-shampooing, or pre-pooing, is an essential step for curly hair. It protects the hair fiber before washing, reduces friction, and minimizes breakage. Ideally, it should be applied generously to the lengths and ends, using rich products such as plant-based butters or nourishing oils. This protective layer envelops the hair fiber and prepares it for washing without drying it out. Step 2 – A gentle shampoo that respects the scalp Washing should be gentle and non-aggressive. Shampoos containing strong sulfates can strip away too many natural oils and weaken the hair fiber. A mild shampoo cleanses the scalp while preserving moisture. It's important to massage gently, avoiding rubbing the lengths of the hair to prevent tangles. A healthy scalp promotes harmonious hair growth and better hair anchoring. Step 3 – An essential detangling conditioner Detangling is a delicate and essential step. Conditioner provides slip, nourishes the hair, and makes combing easier. It should be applied section by section, from the ends to the roots, to avoid pulling out the hair fiber. A good detangling conditioner significantly reduces breakage. Step 4 – The Weekly Nourishing Mask A hair mask is a key step in the routine for curly hair. It deeply repairs the hair fiber, improves elasticity, and strengthens the hair. A rich mask, left on for at least 20 to 30 minutes, provides intense nourishment. Plant-based butters like cocoa or shea are particularly well-suited to this step. With regular application, hair gains suppleness, vitality and shine. Step 5 – Daily hydration Daily hydration is essential to maintain the suppleness and definition of curls. The LCO (Lotion-Cream-Oil) or LOC (Lotion-Oil-Cream) methods allow you to seal in moisture according to the porosity of the hair fiber. The idea is simple: hydrate, coat the hair fiber with a nourishing cream, then seal it all in with a plant-based oil or butter. This step prevents dryness and reduces frizz while maintaining a soft feel. Step 6 – Protective styling Protective styling helps preserve length and prevent excessive friction. Twists, braids, twists, and plaits protect the ends, reduce breakage, and promote hydration. These hairstyles, when not too tight, help to maintain healthy hair fibers and promote regular growth. Product Focus: Fruit Energy: Cacao Hair Curl A natural formula designed for frizzy hair Énergie Fruit's Cacao Curl is specially formulated to meet the needs of curly hair. Its rich, melting texture makes it easy to apply, even to very dry and dense hair. Its formula, based on cocoa butter and cocoa powder, provides intense nourishment, coats the hair fiber with a protective film, and leaves hair soft and supple. The benefits of Cacao Curl hair Curly hair, often prone to dehydration, benefits greatly from this treatment: It gently redefines curls. It effectively seals in moisture. It protects the fiber from breakage thanks to its nourishing active ingredients. It provides shine, suppleness and a velvety feel. It is an essential treatment to strengthen the hair fiber while preserving the natural beauty of the curls. How to incorporate Cacao Curl into your routine? Its versatility makes it an ideal ally for different stages of your routine: After moisturizing, when you apply your nourishing cream. As a finishing touch to seal in daily hydration. As an intensive mask before shampooing to strengthen the hair fiber. As a styling product to define twists, vanilla knots or loose curls. Regardless of its use, it provides additional nutrition and lasting protection. Adapting your hair care routine for curly hair according to your needs Hair routine for frizzy, brittle hair Brittle, frizzy hair needs treatments rich in lipids and repairing agents. Reduce repetitive manipulation and favor gentle techniques. Adding a weekly repairing mask can make a noticeable difference in the hair fiber's strength. Short, curly hair routine Even short, curly hair requires daily attention. Light but regular hydration helps maintain suppleness and definition. Using a soft styling cream and regularly massaging the scalp also promotes growth. Daily routine for caring for curly hair To maintain the beauty of curly hair every day, a few simple habits are all it takes: gentle handling, wearing a satin hat at night to reduce friction, and minimizing excessive heat. These preventative measures protect the hair fiber, prolong hydration, and preserve curl definition. Practical tips for preserving the beauty of curly hair Essential maintenance procedures Detangling should always be done on damp hair, coated with a treatment. Wide or specially designed combs help prevent snagging. Sectioning is essential for gentle detangling and even application of products. Protecting hair on a daily basis Curly hair needs to be protected from external aggressors. Reducing friction, avoiding alcohol-based products, and maintaining sufficient internal hydration are among the fundamental steps. Preserve lengths in the long term Finally, regularly trimming damaged ends, spacing out tight hairstyles, and adopting protective hairstyles promotes the longevity and beauty of hair lengths. Create a custom gift set to enhance the beauty of curly hair If you're looking for a practical and truly personalized gift, creating a gift set featuring Énergie Fruit products is an excellent idea. By combining a gentle shampoo, a detangling conditioner, a nourishing mask, and Cacao Curl, you create a complete routine perfectly suited to the needs of curly hair. This type of set is very popular: it brings together everything needed to hydrate, nourish, and protect the hair fiber daily, without the recipient having to search for specific products. It's a thoughtful gesture that offers a sensory experience and an effective routine, designed to reveal the natural beauty of curly hair textures. Find all our products for curly hair on our website.

Hair care routine for curly hair: a complete guide
Hair care routine for curly hair: the complete guide to enhancing your curls Curly hair is beautiful, vibrant, dynamic, and expressive. Its spiral shape tells a unique story, but it also requires special care. Because it's naturally drier, more fragile, and more sensitive to climate changes, curly hair needs a specific hair care routine designed to nourish the fiber, hydrate the curl, reduce frizz, and preserve definition. This comprehensive guide walks you through the steps to understand your curls' needs and build an effective, natural, and personalized routine—one that respects the hair fiber while revealing the beauty of each curl. Understanding the specific needs of curly hair A naturally drier hair fiber Curly hair has a unique structure: its spiral shape limits the circulation of sebum, the natural film produced by the scalp to protect the hair fiber. As a result, the lengths are less coated and dry out more quickly. This natural dryness explains why curls need extra and regular hydration. Furthermore, curly hair is more susceptible to external aggressors. Wind, sun, or even friction against a pillow can weaken the cuticle. Without sufficient nourishment, it becomes dull, brittle, and loses its definition. Loops that require a structured routine To be harmonious and well-defined, curls require a structured routine. Hydration, nourishment, and natural treatments play an essential role in balancing the scalp and maintaining healthy hair lengths. It's also essential to adapt your routine to your curl type: wavy, curly, or coily hair doesn't have the same needs. Loose waves require more fluidity, while tight curls prefer rich, protective treatments. A personalized routine allows you to address each need in a targeted and effective way. The essential steps of a hair care routine for curly hair 1. Wash gently Washing is the first step in a successful routine. Curly hair reacts very badly to harsh surfactants, which strip away part of the hydrolipidic film and further dry out the hair fiber. It is therefore essential to choose a gentle shampoo, ideally formulated without irritating sulfates. The frequency of washing should be adjusted: one to two shampoos per week are generally sufficient to cleanse the scalp without damaging the hair fiber. Massage should remain gentle to avoid creating knots and to stimulate microcirculation. 2. Untangle and prepare the loop Detangling should always be done gently, on wet hair coated with a natural conditioner. This treatment makes detangling easier, reduces breakage, and prepares the curls for the rest of the routine. Detangling with your fingers or a wide-tooth brush is ideal for respecting the natural shape of the curl. It's helpful to leave the conditioner on for a few minutes to allow the nourishing agents to penetrate the hair fiber. This waiting time prepares the hair to absorb the deep conditioning mask that will follow. 3. Nourish with deep care Hair masks are essential for maintaining the suppleness and strength of curly hair. Formulas rich in plant butters—cocoa, shea, mango—provide the lengths with the nourishment they naturally lack. Apply generously, paying particular attention to the lengths and ends. Leave on for ten to twenty minutes to allow the active ingredients to penetrate the hair fiber, improve its elasticity, and prevent frizz. This step intensely nourishes the hair and helps redefine curls. 4. Define and refine the loop After nourishing and softening the hair fiber, defining the curls becomes essential. A natural styling gel, free of alcohol and drying agents, allows you to structure the curl without making it stiff. Simple techniques can enhance the form: The scrunch, which consists of pulling the lengths of hair up towards the scalp. Finger coils, perfect for enhancing definition. Air drying or using a diffuser at a low temperature will give a natural, frizz-free finish. These techniques allow for a flexible, controlled and long-lasting hold. 5. Protect on a daily basis Daily protection plays a fundamental role in curl health. Moisturizing treatments help reduce frizz, while lightweight finishing oils add shine and manageability. The key is to avoid overloading: a few drops are enough to nourish and seal in moisture without weighing down the hair. This finishing step protects curls from external aggressors and prolongs their shape. The role of natural treatments in the care of curly hair High-performance plant-based ingredients for the loop Curly hair responds particularly well to natural ingredients. Cocoa butter, for example, intensely nourishes the hair fiber and leaves lengths supple and shiny. Plant oils provide elasticity and softness while helping to seal in moisture. Natural extracts protect the hair fiber from dehydration, especially when hair is exposed to heat or pollution. These active ingredients help maintain the balance between hydration and nourishment, essential for preserving curl shape and suppleness. A scalp-friendly approach The scalp plays a vital role in the health of your curls. Gentle formulas, free from controversial ingredients, are particularly suitable for sensitive scalps. They prevent irritation, maintain the natural balance, and promote healthy growth. Regular use of natural treatments helps reduce discomfort, while preserving a solid foundation for the formation of harmonious curls. Nutri Frizz Hair Care: the essential treatment to control frizz A formula rich in cocoa butter and cocoa powder THE Nutri Frizz Fruit Energy Hair Care This is a nourishing treatment designed specifically for curly hair. Its formula combines cocoa butter and cocoa powder to provide deep nourishment, while enveloping the hair fiber in a natural protective film. Its melting texture makes application easy, glides effortlessly through the lengths of your hair, and ensures even distribution, even on very dry or thick hair. This treatment strengthens the hair fiber and helps curls regain their natural suppleness. A targeted anti-frizz action for defined curls Thanks to its natural active ingredients, Energie Fruit's Nutri Frizz tames the hair fiber without weighing it down. It improves curl cohesion, reduces frizz, and provides a long-lasting effect throughout the day. Curls gain definition, regain their bounce, and remain soft to the touch. Its anti-frizz effect is particularly useful in humid environments, where curls tend to puff up. The treatment acts as a nourishing shield that preserves the natural shape of the hair. How to incorporate Nutri Frizz Hair Care into your routine? This versatile treatment easily adapts to all curly hair routines: On towel-dried hair, just after washing, to intensely nourish the lengths. As a leave-in treatment, apply daily in small amounts. To refresh curls between washes, by defining strands where they need it most. This versatility allows you to maintain a beautiful definition over several days, while deeply nourishing the fiber. Tips for choosing a hair care routine suited to your curl type Identify your needs: hydration, nutrition, definition Your curl type determines the care you should prioritize. Wavy hair needs more lightness and hydration. Curly hair requires a subtle balance between nourishment and definition. Curly hair prefers rich, enveloping treatments that limit dryness. Clearly identifying your needs helps you select the most suitable treatments and maintain a consistent routine. Adjust the frequency and type of care An effective hair care routine relies on consistency. Nourishing masks should be applied weekly to strengthen the lengths. Simple tips like avoiding excessive manipulation or using protective treatments also help minimize breakage. Adapting your routine according to the season can also be beneficial: curls often need more nourishment in winter and moisture protection in summer. The right steps to preserve the beauty of your curls every day Gentle styling techniques Styling plays a crucial role in curl formation. Scrunching helps activate curls naturally, while styling very damp hair makes definition easier. Using a diffuser on a low heat setting allows for quick drying while preserving the curl pattern. Protect your hair overnight Overnight, friction can distort curls and create frizz. Satin covers or techniques like the pineapple method help protect the lengths and maintain the natural shape of the curls until morning. These simple steps help reduce breakage and preserve definition for several days. Practical tips for radiant curls A few simple habits can help maintain harmonious curls: Use a microfiber towel to reduce friction. Avoid brushing dry hair, as this breaks the fiber and loosens the curl. Limit heat sources to preserve the integrity of the lengths. Small daily attentions are enough to prolong the shine and vitality of your curls. Create a personalized gift box If you're looking for a simple yet truly useful gift idea, consider creating a personalized gift set with Énergie Fruit products. You can select a gentle shampoo, a nourishing conditioner, a rich hair mask, and the Nutri Frizz Hair Treatment to offer a complete, ready-to-use routine. This type of gift set is always a hit: it showcases natural, sensorial products specifically designed for curly hair. It's a lovely way to introduce someone special to an effective routine while offering a moment of pampering.

Dry skin: understand, soothe and deeply nourish
Having dry skin isn't just a matter of comfort. Tightness, roughness, peeling or itchy patches… your skin is sending you a signal. And this symptom is clear: it lacks protection and nourishment. Fortunately, there are simple steps and targeted treatments to restore skin balance and get back soft, supple, and radiant skin. What are the symptoms of very dry skin? First and foremost, you need to learn to recognize the warning signs. Very dry skin often presents the following symptoms: ● Constant tightness, especially after showering ● A feeling of discomfort in the face , legs or arms ● Dull appearance, even whitish in places ● Areas that peel, crack, or itch ● Rough texture, less supple to the touch These symptoms indicate a lipid deficiency, often accompanied by dehydration. Your skin is no longer able to effectively protect itself against external aggressors, which can cause diffuse redness and persistent itching . What are the main causes of dry skin? Several factors can disrupt the natural production of sebum and weaken the skin. Among the most frequent causes are: ● The cold, the wind and the dry air , especially in winter ● Too frequent hot showers ● The use of harsh cleaning products (regular soaps, perfumed shower gels) ● Natural aging , which reduces the activity of the sebaceous glands ● Skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis ● Internal factors: stress, smoking, diet low in healthy fats The sebaceous gland is responsible for producing sebum, an oily film that naturally protects the skin. If it is underactive (genetically or due to age), the skin becomes dry and its protective layer no longer functions properly. How can I tell if my skin is dehydrated? Dry skin and dehydrated skin are often confused, yet they are not the same thing. ● Dry skin is a skin type: it lacks oil (lipids). ● Dehydrated skin is a temporary condition: it lacks water. You can have oily and dehydrated skin. How can you tell if you have it? Try this simple test: gently pinch your facial skin. If it feels tight, wrinkled, or lacks elasticity, it's dehydrated. On the other hand, if it feels rough and uncomfortable, it's probably true dry skin. In all cases, it is essential to restore the skin barrier with appropriate care to promote optimal hydration . What treatments should be applied to treat dry skin? Your routine should be gentle, nourishing, and protective. Here are the key steps to soothe your skin every day: 1. Clean without stripping Forget harsh, foaming products. Choose a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser enriched with moisturizing agents. At Energiqa, our shower gels are formulated to respect the skin's natural hydrolipidic film. 2. Apply a moisturizing and nourishing treatment A good moisturizer shouldn't just provide water. It should also contain oils to help retain moisture in the skin. Key ingredients to look for include: ● Shea butter : nourishing and soothing ● Sweet almond or argan oil : rich in fatty acids ● Vegetable glycerin : captures and retains water ● Ceramides : strengthen the lipid barrier For your face , choose a lighter cream in the morning and a richer formula in the evening. For your body, opt for a nourishing lotion or balm depending on the season. 3. Deep Repair In cases of severe dryness, apply a plant-based oil in the evening to very dry areas (elbows, knees, legs). Leave it on overnight for a restorative effect. This localized treatment helps regenerate the skin's protective layer . 4. Hydrate from within Drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day. And remember to consume essential fatty acids (omega-3) found in oily fish, flax seeds, or nuts. What are the best ways to prevent dry skin? Your daily routine is just as important as the skincare products you use. Here are a few simple tips to incorporate: ● Take lukewarm showers, not too long ● Dry your skin by patting , without rubbing. ● Apply your body lotion right after showering , while your skin is still damp. ● Exfoliate your skin once a week , no more, to avoid damaging the skin barrier. ● Protect your skin from the cold and the sun (yes, even in winter!) And above all: avoid irritating materials like wool directly on the skin or perfumes that are too concentrated in skincare products. Key takeaways: Dry skin is skin that lacks lipids, and sometimes water as well. The symptoms are clear: tightness, roughness, redness , itching … The causes can be internal (age, genetics, less active glands ) or environmental. But with the right techniques, appropriate hydration , and a daily nourishing treatment , you can strengthen your skin's protective barrier and regain true comfort. At Energiqa, we design simple, sensorial, and ultra-effective skincare products – created for all skin types, even the most demanding.

At what age should I start using a face serum?
The world of skincare can sometimes feel like a jungle Creams, oils, masks, toners… and of course, the famous serums. But one question often comes up: at what age should you start using a face serum? Is it only for mature skin? Is it too early at 20? Too late at 40? Spoiler alert: there isn't one single right answer, but several factors to consider. Let's take a closer look! What makes a good face serum? Before talking about age, it is important to understand what a serum is. A face serum is a concentrated treatment in active ingredients, designed to target a specific skin need: hydration, radiance, anti-aging, imperfections, pigment spots… Its texture is often more fluid than a cream, which allows it to penetrate quickly and deeply. It is usually applied before moisturizer, morning and/or evening, depending on your needs. In short: serum is the superhero of facial care. It works deep down where cream works more on the surface. What is the ideal age to start using a serum? There's no hard and fast rule, but around 20-25 years old is often the ideal time. Why? Because collagen production starts to slow down. This is the beginning of skin aging, and this is when serum can prevent the first visible signs such as fine lines, loss of radiance, or fatigue around the eyes. Before the age of 30, a serum can be useful for targeting specific needs: excess sebum, dehydration, blemishes, etc. You don't need a powerful anti-aging treatment, but rather a gentle product enriched with natural and hydrating ingredients to meet your skin's current needs. Using a serum won't tire your skin if you choose the right one. At what age should I start anti-aging treatments? From the age of 25-30, you can incorporate anti-aging serums into your routine. They will help slow down the signs of skin aging, such as loss of firmness or fine lines around the eyes. Treatments based on vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or gentle retinol are very effective at boosting radiance and strengthening the skin barrier. How to choose a serum based on your age? ● Before age 25: a purifying or hydrating serum ● Between 25 and 35 years old: a radiance and prevention serum ● After 35: a more targeted anti-aging serum (firmness, anti-dark spots) ● After 45: more regenerating and firming treatments In all cases, you choose a cosmetic that contains the right ingredients, adapted to your skin type and your current needs. How to properly incorporate a serum into your routine? Here is the correct technique: Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser Apply your serum to clean skin; a few drops are enough. Fingertip massage Finish with your day cream This daily use allows the serum to work in synergy with the rest of the routine, for a reinforced effect. Should serum be changed according to the seasons or stages of life? Yes, your skin doesn't have the same needs in winter as in summer. You can also alternate depending on your hormonal cycle, stress level, or sun exposure. Ideally? Observe your skin's reactions and adjust your usage accordingly. The final word: listen to your skin, not your age. The key is to listen to your needs. Age is just a number. It's the signals your skin sends you that matter. And if you choose the right products, you can transform your routine into a moment of sensory pleasure that's effective and gentle on your skin.
