Sensitive skin reactivity can be reversed where the hydro-lipid barrier has been temporally weakened by an imbalance in the natural functions of the skin, especially with protection against external aggressions. Environmental factors (sun, heat, cold, etc) and external irritants (pollution, smoke, unsuitable cosmetic products, etc) can easily penetrate these skin types causing adverse reactions, which generate problems such as redness, itchiness, desquamation or eczema. These secondary reactions also produce some unnoticeable alterations, caused by free radicals, which make the skin more vulnerable and speeds up the ageing process of skin, leading to premature manifestations such as dehydration, lack of luminosity, wrinkles and flaccidity.
AQUATHERM SKEYNDOR® is a range of products formulated with spring water from Salies-de-Béarn; a natural source located in the French Pyrenees, and is designed to cover the needs of all skin types, especially the most delicate. Brings immediate relief to a sensitised skin and treats simultaneously treats the common signs of premature ageing. Its continued use, aims to normalise sensitive skin by restoring the barrier function, rebalancing the epidermal metabolism and reducing the skin's capacity to respond negatively in certain situations (stress, pollution, etc). It is important to remember that a well looked-after sensitive skin can become normal skin.
Scientific studies confirm the capacity of some solutions of marine salts improve atrophy, especially its capacity to stimulate the repairing mechanisms of the hydro- lipid barrier.
Among the different salts found in marine water, sodium chloride and potassium chloride, which supply sodium and potassium ions, have an important capacity to regenerate the barrier function and restore the balance in damaged skin.
Referent to other ions, scientific results indicated that the topical application of the magnesium ion influences cellular proliferation in the epidermis more than other ions (calcium, manganese, zinc, copper, etc), which are all very important for speeding up the process of skin normalisation. However the calcium ion, although necessary in low doses, can negatively affect the natural recovery of atrophic or irritated skin. Therefore, it is advisable to maintain a high relation magnesium/calcium to ensure the normalisation of the barrier function.
"The spring water with the highest proportion of ion magnesium (837 mg/litre) within the world registered mineral waters". Madame Jeannie Bretton-LafontAgence du Médicament (7 Jun 1994)Ministère des Affaires Sociales, de la Santé et de la Ville
The water from Salies-de-Béarn has been selected toformulate the range of productsin AQUATHERM SKEYNDOR, as its singular composition makes it ideal for normalising sensitive skin.
This spring water has the extraordinary property of containing the original composition of primitive oceans, when they were pure and free of pollution. This is only possible because the spring feeds from subterraneous waters that run under the Pyrenees through mineral layers formed by the slow evaporation of the oceans thousands of years ago. The waters have passed through a pure and clear layer that contains all the richness of the seas where life originated.
Close to the Atlantic coast, in the valleys of southern France, we find the region of Béarn, which is rich in minerals, an important factor for its "medicinal effects". Thesewaters nourish the springs of Salies-de-Béarn, a health centre since 1857.

In addition to this the spring water from Salies-de-Béarn, belongs to the group of medicinal springs in the South of France, and has a complete and balanced composition in salts and trace elements that makes it an ideal mineralising complement to treat and prevent the mineral deficit in all skin types. Its particularly high proportion of magnesium -the highest in registered mineralwaters- is one of the key elements in the recovery process of damaged skin.
The water from Salies-de-Béarn is a spring water that contains a high amount of salts and more than 25 essential trace elements as ions (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper). Their proportions are perfect (especially in the case of magnesium), to stimulate the normalisation of the barrier function. and diminish the reactivity of sensitive skin.
The mineralising property has important effects on the regulating mechanisms of skin. In fact, several layers, each of which has a certain amount of ions, form the epidermis. When its concentration diminishes, the protection of the skin weakens. Therefore, the topical supply of these ions starts the regeneration process and restoration for natural balancing.

Natural substances that stimulate the proliferation of the beneficial cutaneous flora, which is responsible of rebalancing the skin's ph and at the same time protects from the invasion of damaging micro-organisms.
The main lipids of the extra-cellular cement within the corneal layer. The deficit or imbalance, especially in the case of Ceramide 1, is linked to the common problems of sensitive skin. As it is an ingredient scarcely found in vegetal extracts, it is advisable to reinforce it with this active ingredient the products that aim to treat these skin types. In the epidermis the ceramides orientate the different protective layers of lipids that protect us against the entrance of foreign substances in the body and from the excessive loss of water and metabolites.
