New AdvancesIn Skincare Technology Help Repair Skin While You Sleep (NAPSA)—Sleep is critical to the body. Skimp on it and the body won't operate at an optimal level. With today’s fast-paced lifestyles, many women feel stressed-out and need the night to skin's optimal appearance. These potent anti-irritants have been incorporated into Este Lauder Advanced Night Repair Concentrate Recovery Boosting Treat- decompress, and, as research demonstrates, help repair the appearance of skin-damage. A recent study exploring the link between emotional stress and its effect on skin found an interesting correlation. A clinical study conducted by researchers at Este Lauder has shown emotional stress can actually inhibit the skin’s ability to repair its moisture barrier. The moisture barrier protects the skin from the environment and helps prevent water loss. For example, the study showed that among otherwise healthy married women, those who felt emotionally stressed and didn’t perceive themselves as happy had slower moisture barrier recovery rates than their happily married counterparts and single women. In addition to emotional stress, skin faces an onslaught of other daily assaults, like sun and pollution, which can trigger further damage that can lead to visible signs of aging. Even dermatological treatments such as microdermabrasion and glycolic acid peels, can leave skin looking red and irritated which can lead to signs of premature aging such as lines and wrinkles.

Repairing the appearance of existing skin-damage has become the new front in the battle against the signs of premature aging. “The most critical mechanism in the fight against visible skin-aging is the ability to help support and promote the skin’s natural recovery processes,” says Dr. Daniel Maes, Vice President Global Research and Development, Este Lauder. “This way the skin is able to better defend itself.” Most daily skincare regimens, however, don’t incorporate the ingredients and technologies that help skin’s appearance recover from serious stresses. Recent research conducted with Este Lauder and Strasbourg University in France shows concentrated anti-irritants can help to restore ment, a quarterly 21-night treatment for stressed skin that’s been exposed to chronic or excessive sun, pollution, extreme temperatures or intense dermatological procedures such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
