Sothys uses the term "youth" in many of its series which have an impact on the youthfulness of the skin. This includes, among other things, series such as Hydra4, Detox Energie™ and Nutritive. In this course module we deal with Youth creams which are included as part of our "anti-age" programme.

What is your "skin age"?

It is the age of the skin, not the customer, that determines which Youth cream you should choose. The skin's age does not always reflect the biological age (depending on internal and external influences) and various aging markers in the skin can help you choose the cream that matches the skin's degree of aging.

Sothys creams are supplied in 4 varieties, of which Wrinkle-targeting cream and Firming youth cream are offered in two different textures (normal and comfort/rich) - thus we have a total of 6 different creams in the Youth "anti-age" series.

Age markers:

• Fine lines/first wrinkles

  
  

• Facial wrinkles (lines that only appear when using the muscles)

  
  

• Static wrinkles (lines that also appear when the face is relaxed)

  
  

• Furrows (deeper wrinkles and folds in the skin)

  
  

• Loss of resilience (reduced elasticity to varying degrees)

  
  

• Loose skin on the jawline (sagging skin over the jawbone - from the chin towards the ear)

  
  

• Uneven pigmentation/ pigment spots

  
  

• Loss of skin density/thickness (breakdown of supporting fibers)

  
  

• Loss of volume (lack of subcutaneous fat and support, e.g. at the temple)

  
  

• Lack of glow and vitality (due to insufficient formation of lipids and slower transfer of nutrients, oxygen and slow cell renewal)

  
  

4 stages of aging

The creams are divided into four stages. For each stage, you TREAT what the skin is in now, and PREVENT the next. So we can say that the creams have both a therapeutic and preventive effect on the aging process.

• Wrinkle-targeting youth cream Skin age 35 -45 years

  
  

• Firming youth cream Skin age 45 -55 years

  
  

• Restructuring youth cream Skin age 55-65 years

  
  

• Redencifying youth cream Skin age 65+ years
