When my skin tells me about my inner state

You may not know it but the founder of SAEVE is called Pauline Bony. Even if Pauline is a Parisian by adoption, the fact remains that she grew up between the Auvergne and Rhône-Alpes regions.
She therefore received an education close to Nature, carried by beautiful secular traditions around health and natural self-care. Birch sap wouldn't be the star ingredient in her products today if she hadn't seen the women in her family drinking this precious beverage. Pauline saw for herself how many virtues the sap had. Scientific studies confirming his observations thereafter.

In the countryside, she also learned the benefits of the fresh air, healthy and varied food, rest, sleep… So many elements that prioritize the well-being of the body.

Today, his wish is to share his achievements by offering his natural products and composed of real concentrates of life. But she is also committed to transmitting good lifestyle habits.
The well-being of the skin is a whole and a treatment alone cannot work miracles if it is not accompanied by multiple intentions to get the best. How do you correlate all of this? The skin is a part of the reflection of your inner state. It tells you about yourself and what you can do to make yourself feel good. With natural gestures and a good dose of respect and consideration for oneself.
We explain to you how the skin speaks to you about you today.

The skin, this organ that communicates

The skin is a fascinating and wonderful organ, both in its physiology and its function. It protects us from external aggressions and immunizes us. It supports metabolism through thermoregulation and thermogenesis. She breathes with us. It keeps us warm in winter. It allows us to perceive emotions thanks to its nervous system and its sensory aspect. It puts us in touch with the love of others through touch.

Of course, it is given another name for the internal route. We will talk about epithelium, always made up of three tissues with specific characteristics.
So we can consider a certain logic of continuity between the outer skin and the inner epithelium. Or at least the skin tells us. Without becoming obsessive, it is interesting to observe his messages.

Far be it from us to make hasty and fixed diagnoses, but we are going to give you some tips to understand what your skin is telling you.

  1. Is my skin dehydrated or dry?

If your skin feels tight and dehydrated, if your eyes seem tired with small dark circles, if just a moisturizing mask makes you look 10 years younger in 30 seconds by plumpness effect, then it's high time to look into your own hydration.

  • Hydration

Certainly, our specific moisturizing range HYDRA MALVA with Mallow extracts will help you, but it cannot replace one of the basic rules of healthy living: Drinking water is essential for your body . Water will promote the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system, the transport of nutrients, the avoidance of muscle pain, the elimination of cellular waste and obviously it has a huge impact on the skin.
Pay attention to your fluid intake. Many of us are crazy about teas, herbal teas and fun drinks like Lattes. This type of drink activates diuresis. This therefore contributes to the dehydration of the body. So prioritize water. Be careful with this move.

  • The food

On the food side, you may not be eating enough good fats. Foods rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids such as omega-3 and 7 help moisturize and nourish the skin. All the envelopes of our cells are made up of lipids. Haro on low-fat diets. It is heresy. Note in passing that good fats are involved in the synthesis of female hormones. These are the steroidal fats found in raw, fresh butter or avocados.
Make a list of all the ingredients that contain good fats and fill your diet with these wonders every day. Fish, oilseeds and nuts, good organic virgin oils, uncooked egg yolks, avocado, coconut, etc.

  1. I have acne-prone skin, what should I change?

We want to be measured for you. If you get a few small pimples from time to time, don't panic. We are talking here about chronic acne-prone skin. We have a complete cure at Saeve made up of our cutting-edge PUR PARADISI range in local treatments and our Gummies as a food supplement.
In doing so, there are several factors that can lead to acne.
  • The stress

The first is stress. Yes, you read correctly. Stress is one of the most powerful triggers in terms of imbalance in our lives today.
So watch your relationship with him and work as much as possible to reduce the impact. We take the liberty of reminding you that there are external stressors such as work, schedules and constraints, but there is also the one that we create for ourselves through excess of perfection and personal intransigence.

  • The plate

Excess refined sugars and dairy products can eventually induce skin blemishes. Review your diet and ask yourself if you can intervene and reduce certain things or bad habits.
Replace chocolate sweets, candies and pastries with homemade snacks. Consume without added sugars as much as possible and prefer natural fruit sugars.

  • detox

It might also be worth doing a general detox. In this case, consider our Fresh Birch Sap cure. Promoting elimination has an impact on the skin.

3. I have a gray complexion? How do I explain it?

So there, we would not stop recommending the PERFECT PISUM range for its incredible “glowing skin” action.
On the other hand, what can happen to you?

  • food

On your plate, it's time to take stock of your consumption of natural antioxidants. Are raw or cooked fruits and vegetables part of the party on your plate?
Indeed, if in PERFERT PISUM , we find oxyresveratrol, the fact remains that the main sources of antioxidants come from your diet. It's simple, all plants have them, and even more so the colored ones. Some meat products also have it, such as shrimp or wild salmon. The beet is a queen in the matter, blueberries, broccoli or cabbage….
Also consider superfoods with very high ORAC levels. Try Acai powder, Goji berries or Spirulina.

  • natural oxygenation

On a personal level, are you getting enough light? Are you getting enough oxygen every day? It is imperative to grant oneself several times a week outings in the open air or a gentle sports practice such as walking or cycling to make the cardiovascular system and breathing work. Guaranteed natural blush effect on the face.

  • The sleep

Are your nights too short? Lack of sleep is cruel to the skin. It directly marks the face with fatigue and tends to reveal dark circles. We cannot advise you a minimum of 7 hours of sleep per night.
So obviously, that means adopting good habits to get used to: a temperate room, no screen in the evening, no stressful information, calm….
If you suffer from insomnia, we invite you to consult in order to remedy this problem. He can find a positive outcome. That is to say the return of a real restorative sleep.


And as the saying goes: listen to SAEVE's advice and take the ones that suit you. But really take them.
