How to boost your immunity?

1 – What is the immune system?

Imagine a superb trendy villa on a green hill facing the sea. It's hot, we're fine. Total harmony, we call it homeostasis.

The site is so beautiful that people sometimes come in uninvited. It also happens that certain members of the staff who are too naughty rebel. For our organism, this is called viruses, bacteria, parasites and internal dysfunctions.

To have peace, we built a compound with cameras and we hired tank bouncers called macrophages and white blood cells. When an intruder succeeds in entering the domain, these sentries flock en masse, use tear gas and neutralize the offender. In our body, this phenomenon is the inflammatory reaction and phagocytosis. This is innate immunity .

At the same time, other bouncers called lymphocytes record the identity of the intruder in a large database. If the bad guy comes back, he will be immediately apprehended with the same strategy as the first time. In us, this phenomenon is called adaptive immunity .

We have just described the immune system between innate and acquired. It forges immunity , which is therefore the body's ability to protect against microbes, infections (such as respiratory infections which is also one of the symptoms of the coronavirus) and diseases.
Now, let's take a closer look at how we can naturally boost our immunity and how to maintain it.

3 – The skin, the essential rampart of our immune defenses

At Saeve, the skin is the sinews of our war. But what is the relationship with immunity? The skin is an integral part of our immune defences . She is the protective enclosure of our dream villa. You will agree that it holds a sacred place in the “game”.

It benefits from various exceptional mechanisms to defend itself.

A mechanical barrier The skin has this fantastic ability to be not very permeable. Passes through its mesh only what must! She also has the ability to peel off. And if we give him a hand, it's all the better. Have you ever done the Pur Paradisi Purifying Exfoliating 2-in-1 Mask ? This natural cosmetic treatment composed of purifying pink grapefruit extracts, micro-beads of wood pulp and kaolin clay, helps our skin to gently get rid of dead cells. The protein clan The skin has another awesome barrier. An armada of antimicrobial proteins and peptides, which destroys the membrane envelope of diseased cells. Hence the ingenious presence of a protein plant extract called fructan from Dandelion and found in our Detox Officinale botanical range for luminous and healthy skin. A biological force Composed of hundreds of good fighting bacteria, the skin flora called microbiota guarantees immunity. This is why 80% of our Saeve cosmetic treatments contain ferments and our botanical essence called Essence F90 Radiance Activator is enriched with small benevolent Saccharomyces yeasts. New recruits among your sentinels and ideal for boosting immunity.

4 – Saeve, a philosophy focused on strengthening the skin's immune system

Before even thinking about the natural active ingredients of Mallow, Pink Grapefruit or Dandelion for our facial care, we worked on the Immunox® patent .

Our innovative patent consists of two magical botanical ingredients: fresh organic Birch Sap and organic Chaga , called "mushroom of immortality". The union of these two botanical active ingredients creates a naturally exceptional shield.

Among other beneficial nutrients, the immortal Chaga is composed of beta-glucans. These molecules are great natural stimulators of the immune system and participate in the modulation of the actors of the innate immune reaction.

Young Birch Sap is rich in active molecules capable of soothing the skin and protecting it from free radicals. Internally, it also helps to eliminate toxins from the body in detox mode in order to optimize our protection.

Thus, the Immunox® patent boosts immunity, in other words, it arms the skin and makes it guardian of our tranquillity. The highest concentrations are found in our Saeve serums. However, there are some in all our day creams as well as in the brand's other cosmetic treatments.

And don't forget that fighting against dehydration, acne, pimples, blackheads, spots are solid lifestyle gestures to allow our skin to preserve us.
