Recently, your skin has been sagging slightly, your complexion is duller, and a few expression lines have appeared at the corners of your eyes. It's undeniable: the first signs of aging are definitely there. Don't panic; while skin aging is a natural phenomenon, it is possible to reduce and delay its effects with targeted treatments.
How do the first signs of aging appear?
A complex system, the skin maintains a constant physiological balance between its various components called cutaneous homeostasis. However, this harmony can be disrupted by internal and external factors (genetic heritage or lifestyle, for example), leading to dysfunctions that the skin is sometimes no longer able to regulate on its own. As a result, the skin's appearance changes. This is the case with skin aging.
In fact, from around the age of 30, cell renewal slows down and the epidermis becomes increasingly permeable to external aggressions. At the same time, hyaluronic acid production decreases, causing a loss of substance in the skin tissues, a gradual sagging of the face and, of course, the increasing formation of wrinkles. The skin then needs a helping hand to help its natural ability to regain its balance.
How to treat the first signs of aging?
Targeted anti-aging treatments
When the first signs of aging appear, the skin requires specific active ingredients to restore its natural balance. Among them, a star anti-aging ingredient it already possesses: hyaluronic acid. With this in mind, Payot created the Lisse range, products featuring a duo of low- and high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acids and a complex of herbal plants inspired by sylvotherapy. They protect the skin from the environmental stress responsible for its loss of hyaluronic acid and stimulate its natural production.
The Plumping Booster Serum instantly fills wrinkles for immediately and lastingly plumper skin. Its divinely fresh texture, with a powdery scent of pear and white rose, penetrates the skin without a greasy finish. Enriched with white horehound extract known to limit the penetration of pollutants, the Wrinkle Smoothing Cream protects the skin from daily aggressions, including the famous blue light generated by our screens. The Resurfacing Sleeping Cream, meanwhile, deeply regenerates the skin thanks to its natural hibiscus AHAs. It works overnight and leaves the complexion smooth and rested in the morning. Its ultra-comfortable melting cream texture immerses the skin in a cocoon of well-being.
A treatment for express results
The latest innovation in the Smooth range, the 10-Day Express Radiance Wrinkle Treatment is a 10-day skincare routine for visibly younger-looking skin. For the first time, the Smooth treatment alternates two key molecules in their purest forms: retinol and... hyaluronic acid, of course! It consists of 10 plumping ampoules of pure hyaluronic acid to be applied during the day and 10 renewing ampoules of pure retinol for the evening. Retinol boosts cell renewal, adds radiance, and improves skin texture. It acts deep within the dermis by boosting the production of collagen and elastin, both responsible for skin tone. Retinol also promotes the assimilation of hyaluronic acid, which is why it is recommended to start this treatment in the evening. Hyaluronic acid, for its part, compensates for the slowdown in its natural production in the skin, plumping it up instantly. After 10 days of treatment, your skin feels renewed.

A dedicated gesture to smooth the first signs of aging
At Payot, beauty is in motion. It's no surprise that the brand decided to combine care with gestures to complement the action of its products' active ingredients. The Payot Smooth & Glow Gesture, co-created with facial yoga expert Sylvie Lefranc, combines smoothing and stimulating gestures to erase wrinkles, relax features, and brighten radiance.
The Payot Smooth & Glow Gesture
Step 1: Relax
Apply your treatment to your entire face, applying light pressure from the neck to the forehead.
Step 2: Smooth
Using scissor fingers, the top of the hand facing the skin, smooth the oval of the face from the middle of the chin to the ears (3 times).
Using scissor fingers, the inside of the hand facing the skin this time, smooth the contour of the lips by sliding your fingers from the middle of the mouth to the ears (3 times), then the cheekbones going from the middle of the nose to the ears (3 times), and finally, the brow bone, from the head of the eyebrows to the temples (3 times).
Using the palm of your hand, smooth your forehead from the middle out towards your temples, then move down your neck towards your collarbones.
Step 3: Sculpt
Form an "O" with your mouth by wrapping your lips around your teeth. Then place your middle fingers along the nasolabial fold, then your thumbs under and along the jaw to avoid tensing your neck. Breathe through your nose while maintaining the position of your mouth and hands. At the same time, move your head up and down 6 times.
Step 4: Stimulate
Using your fingertips, gently tap the entire face to activate microcirculation and revive radiance.
By regularly repeating this application technique, the skin's youthfulness is preserved and its radiance revived!
