Initialization Stage
The preparation stage is crucial part of the body care program and maximizes the results of the specific treatments. By working on protecting and rebuilding the epidermis, the overall quality and functions of the skin are improved. The epidermis is a dynamic structure that plays a major role in the body's defense system. Our skin is often neglected, hidden under clothes and generally lacking in regular care. Yet it has very specific needs. For natural and physiological reasons, the body's epidermis is actually more sensitive to dehydration than the face, except for the cleavage and the back; there is a lower density of sebaceous glands on the body than on the face. As we age the cells are less cohesive and the natural exfoliation process and cellular regeneration slow down. The epidermal cells are of less quality and the barrier effect is gradually eroded. Biologique Recherche's body care treatments combine products and procedures that are developed with the same expertise and focus on personalization as the face care treatment. The body care treatments detoxify, re-shape and tone the body to help restore a balanced silhouette, smooth skin, light legs and toned buttocks.
