ANTI-AGING - NATURAL PROVES ITS OWN
Between the cult of eternal youth and the quest for a healthy and green routine, anti-ageing skincare and serums are creating a place of choice in the cosmetic landscape. Faced with the large means and the war machines of the cosmetic giants, the effectiveness of small organic brands is still questioned. Miss Agathe is here to prove you just the opposite...
PORTRAIT OF A WRINKLE
Criticized, abused, often misidentified, it's time to redefine what a wrinkle really is. It takes the form of a break in the skin. These undulations of the skin appear with the inevitable disappearance of two proteins essential to the elasticity of the skin: collagen and elastin, both present naturally in snail slime.
With age, the body produces less and less. The skin then becomes thinner and has more difficulty regenerating itself. The first wrinkles are often visible in facial expressions. This is where these affectionately named wrinkles appear: frown lines, crow's feet… A phenomenon that unfortunately appears earlier in women than in men.
DELAY THEIR ARRIVAL
Nothing to do, nature works and follows its course. Wrinkles affect 100% of the population. However, certain habits tend to accelerate their anchoring. For example, smoking, prolonged exposure to the sun, or medications are factors that activate skin aging. Only a healthy lifestyle and regular hydration can slow down the race to wrinkles. Speaking of which, did you put on your Miss Agathe day cream?
Other solutions: anti-ageing treatments and serums, to target and act on the first signs of ageing. Loaded with active ingredients chosen for their benefits, they activate the production of collagen and fibroblasts, regulate the production of melanin (causing the color of the skin) and hydrate the epidermis.
In addition to the more common creams, serums bring added value in that they are hyper-concentrated and can complement your moisturizer.
Plump, moisturize and firm the skin… They act in depth to smooth the skin texture. Their melting texture integrates much more easily with the tissues of the epidermis and offers an almost immediate effect. Mlle Agathe's anti-aging serum with more than 93% snail slime acts at the source and blurs wrinkles and fine lines, for a soothed skin effect. And as Mlle Agathe is only for your eyes, she has thought of the anti-aging eye contour serum for you. With its 65% mucus content, it acts directly on puffiness and dark circles. In the blink of an eye ☺
ANTI-AGING: VOTE NATURAL
Down with petrochemicals!
This is Mlle Agathe's battle cry, which also applies to anti-aging skincare. While most players on the market still use such methods, natural products offer a healthy and clean alternative. Care that meets the demands of consumer associations, which are increasingly against the negative effects of products from bad chemistry.
Small steps for cosmetics, but big steps for men. At a time of health and hygiene uncertainty, nature is becoming a safe haven on which everyone wants to bet.
Despite often questioned effectiveness, research and development of natural anti-aging products have highlighted the convincing effect of anti-wrinkle creams. And knock for the skeptics. In addition, they are subject to a strict charter and regulated by labels such as Ecocert, Cosmebio (to which Miss Agathe adheres) or Natrue, meaning that their formula must include 95% natural ingredients, and at least 5% of their ingredients from organic farming.

Some vitamins are incorporated into creams. For example, vitamin A or retinol is known for its regenerating action such as stimulating the synthesis of collagen in the dermis. Vitamin C, on the other hand, depigments any spots on the skin and also boosts its collagen. Finally, vitamin E protects cell membranes. Yet another irrefutable proof of the infinite powers of nature!
