Lukewarm water is just right for a thorough, barrier-friendly cleanse.

---

3. Be Gentle—Always
Use your fingertips to massage in circular motions for 30-60 seconds.
Avoid scrubbing tools or tugging at your skin—especially around the eyes.

---

4. Choose a Cleanser for Your Skin Type
✔️ Oily? Try gel or foam cleansers. The SVR PHYSIOPURE Foaming Gel is a gentle, effective option for oily and combination skin.
✔️ Dry or sensitive? Go for cream or milk cleansers. The Phytomer ACCEPT Cica Milky Cream Cleanser is ideal for reactive, dry skin.
✔️ Combo? Use a balancing, pH-friendly cleanser.

5. Check Your Ingredients
Avoid harsh sulfates and alcohol. Look for:

• Centella Asiatica

• Green Tea

• Glycerin

• Hyaluronic Acid

These are gentle and non-stripping.

---

6. Don't Over-Cleanse
Twice a day—AM and PM—is plenty.
If your skin feels tight after washing, it's a sign you're overdoing it.

---

7. Pat Dry With a Clean Towel
Use a fresh towel each day and pat your face dry.
Avoid rubbing—this causes irritation and can spread bacteria.

---

8. Follow Up With Skincare
Clean skin = ready to absorb active ingredients.
Right after cleansing, follow this order:
Toner → Serum → Moisturizer → SPF (in the morning)

"Over the centuries, hair has always been very important for people, both for aesthetic and psychological reasons."

Though hair, including hair that covers the body, is no longer regarded as a protective means against heat or cold, as it was in the very old times, it is indeed true that people of all cultures have always cared for and looked after hair through history.

What is hair?

A single hair, wherever it may grow on the body, stems from a hair follicle. Hair follicles are found everywhere on the external body except for mucous membranes and glabrous skin, such as that found on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and on the lips.

Follicles in the scalp grow the hair on our head - thick and pigmented, which is technically defined as terminal hair, to distinguish it from vellus hair, which is thin and almost invisible and found in other parts of the body.

Anatomy and physiology of hair

Each hair has two distinct structures: the part beneath the skin, called the hair follicle and the shaft, which is the hard filamentous part that extends above the skin surface, hence is visible.

The hair follicle is a tubular invagination of the epidermis and consists of several layers (sheaths). It roots into skin and reaches the dermis with a certain inclination, which is the reason why hair normally is not straight, but slightly inclined.

Each hair follicle has a sebaceous gland and a small muscle. The former makes sebum, an oily secretion that lubricates hair, while the latter - called arrector pili - is what gives us "goose bumps."

The bottom portion of the follicle is slightly enlarged and is called the hair bulb. It includes the germinal matrix and the dermal papilla.

The germinal matrix is the source of hair growth and is involved in transferring melanin to hair to give it pigmentation. During the active hair growth phase, the cells in the matrix grow quickly and differentiate (by the mitosis process of cell division), causing the hair shaft to grow.

The dermal papilla is a structure with abundant blood vessels that provides the necessary elements for the activity of the bulb.

The shaft has a cylindrical shape and is formed by three layers called cuticle, cortex, medulla from the outside to the inside.

Hair colour is given by the pigment produced by melanocytes located in the hair bulb. Melanocytes provide pigment to the cells that are "building" the shaft, hence the shaft takes on its characteristic colour as it grows along the follicle. The pigments are concentrated in the middle layer of the shaft, that is in the cortex.

What is hair made of?

In addition to water, hair is made of: keratin, minerals, pigments and a small amount of lipids.

Keratin is a protein rich in sulfur, because it contains high amounts of sulfur amino acids (cysteine and cystine). It is precisely thanks to the sulfur atoms in between keratin chains that very strong chemical bonds can be formed. These bonds, called disulphide bridges, give strength and resistance to nails, body hair and scalp hair.

Hair keratinisation process is regulated by genetic factors, but also by hormones and vitamins.

The minerals in hair are a very important component. Actually, there is a direct correlation between the amount of minerals in the blood and those in hair.

The main minerals in hair are iron, magnesium, copper and zinc. The latter is especially essential for the proper activity of the germinative cells of the matrix. In fact, when there is zinc deficiency, hair weakens and its growth rate slows down. This is one reason why targeted hair loss treatments often include zinc and other key minerals to support follicle health.

The pigments in hair are called melanins. Dark hair has a prevalence of eumelanin (brown-black pigment), while blonde-red hair has more pheomelanin (yellow-orange pigment).

The lipids in hair (triglycerides, waxes, phospholipids, cholesterol, squalene, free fatty acids) are derived from the sebum produced by the sebaceous gland attached to the hair follicle.

Hair growth cycle

Throughout a person's life, hair continuously cycles through growth and resting phases, hence we speak of hair growth cycle. The average growth cycle spans from 2 to 7 years, thus it is estimated that each follicle produces around 20 hair strands in a person's life.

The three stages of hair growth are:

• the ANAGEN phase, or growth phase, is the phase when hair grows longer. It's the longest phase, with an average duration of several years.
  In men it lasts for 2-4 years, while in women it is 3-7 years. Hence, in men hair changes at double or triple the speed compared to women. Since the length hair can grow is basically the same in both males and females, hair of men is thought to fall out at a theoretical length of about 30-35 cm, while hair in women can reach 100-120 cm - that's why women have longer hair than men usually.
• the CATAGEN phase, or involuting phase, is when vital functions diminish and hair growth stops. This phase lasts for 2-3 weeks.
• the TELOGEN phase, or resting phase, is when functional activity ceases completely, but the hair is still anchored to the hair follicle, and will fall eventually upon hair being washed or brushed. This phase, which on average lasts for 3-4 months, marks the beginning of a new hair cycle.

In normal conditions, each time a hair in telogen falls out, the hair follicle will grow a new one in anagen, hence hair shedding is a natural event. However, a number of factors can cause excessive hair shedding, which results in hair thinning and increasingly larger hairless scalp areas showing.

"It is quite normal to lose a certain number of hair strands every day. However, there are factors that can lead to excessive shedding."

Losing some hair every day is quite normal when it is a certain limited number of hair that would naturally be expected to shed. We shed hair every day in amounts that are considered normal – 50 – 60 hair strands or, better, between 40 to 120 hair strands if we consider that shedding is proportional to the amount of hair that a person has, which can vary a lot. Anyone with a larger hair density in the scalp will of course shed more hair.

Hair renews itself

Each hair is composed of a visible outer portion which comes out of the scalp - the shaft - and an inner part, the hair follicle. The higher the number of follicles, the more dense the mass of hair.

Throughout a person's life, hair continuously cycles through growth and resting phases, hence we speak of hair growth cycle.

The three stages of hair growth are:

• the ANAGEN phase, or growth phase, is the phase when hair grows longer. It's the longest phase, with an average duration of several years.
• the CATAGEN phase, or involuting phase, is when vital functions diminish and hair growth stops. This phase lasts for 2-3 weeks.
• the TELOGEN phase, or resting phase, is when functional activity ceases completely, but the hair is still anchored to the hair follicle, and will fall eventually upon hair being washed or brushed. This phase, which on average lasts for 3-4 months, marks the beginning of a new hair cycle.

The hair in the anagen phase is strongly anchored and can only be removed by pulling it out strongly and causing some slight pain. When instead it is in the telogen phase, the anchoring systems are loose and a modest pulling force is enough to remove it, i.e. the massaging we do while we wash hair or even just brushing our hair.

Even if hair is gone, the hair follicle hasn't disappeared because actually the germinal matrix of the bulb is ready, if negative factors leading to scalp imbalance do not occur, to trigger a new growth cycle.

Each follicle follows its own growth cycle that is not in synchrony with other hair follicles, which means that every day some hair strands will fall out, yet they don't shed all together. This asynchrony allows human beings to always have a regular mass of hair and not experience periods of time hair density is significantly reduced.

A healthy scalp shows these amounts of hair in the different growth phases at any given time (the so-called trichogram):

A healthy head of hair will have most hair follicles in the growth phase, the anagen phase.

Conversely, if negative factors occur that cause the natural hair growth cycle to become imbalanced, we can have two situations, sometimes occurring at the same time:

• an important number of follicles enters telogen prematurely, causing strong hair loss, consequent hair thinning and a larger portion of the scalp to be exposed

• hair is miniaturised and it is turned into vellus hair, shorter and with a greatly reduced diameter of the shaft compared to terminal hair, which instead are bigger and pigmented. Miniaturised hair have less "volume", which shows as thinning hair.

Causes of excessive hair shedding

In the human being, as in animals, there is a physiological hair loss defined as seasonal defluvium, typical occurring in spring and autumn. It shows with abundant hair loss (100-300 hair strands shed per day) and can last for 1 or 2 months. This seasonal hair loss usually stops by itself, though it may abnormally last for longer sometimes.

Excessive hair loss also occurs under particular conditions: following stress, upon crash dieting or alcohol abuse, in lactating and menopausal women, as well as upon long-term use of certain drugs and in connection with pathological conditions (thyroid disease, anemia) or surgery.

Also UV radiation and cigarette smoke may be counted amongst possible hair loss causes.

Can we prevent hair loss? A first approach can be to eliminate the most common causes, thus quit smoking, improve eating habits and, to the extent possible, avoid taking non-essential drugs.

On the other hand, the use of topical treatments and taking dietary supplements when in stressful situations, at season change, when following a diet or when in menopause can indeed bring good results, especially in terms of stabilising and improving the existing situation. The BIOSTIMULINES Revitalizing Herbal Tonic is one targeted option worth considering for those dealing with stress- or nutrition-related shedding.

Since the hair growth cycle occurs through a long time, it is important to stress that the effectiveness of these treatments may become visible only after regular, constant use (at least 3 months) and can vary in relation to how the single user responds to it.

Anti-hair loss treatments

The main objective of these treatments is to extend the duration of the anagen phase and stimulate hair follicles in the telogen phase to resume a new cycle, thereby supporting the growth of terminal hair and countering the miniaturisation of the hair follicle, and consequently of hair. To achieve this objective, such treatments are formulated to work on the imbalance factors that have driven the follicle out of the "ideal" growth cycle.

What are the factors most responsible for leading to scalp imbalance?

Hair research has identified micro-inflammation states and oxidative stress as key factors triggering excessive hair loss.

The term "micro" is used because there are no visible effects on the scalp, i.e. redness, but indeed we speak of inflammation because typical inflammation mediators are involved, which are called prostaglandins (PGs). Some of these positive influence hair growth, whereas others hamper it. When the latter prevail, excessive shedding occurs. Conversely, there are some substances that resemble the "good" prostaglandins that can trigger a biomimetic mechanism that makes the follicles in the telogen phase to quickly pass into the anagen phase, that also results longer.

Oxidative stress is a situation where there is an imbalance between oxygen free radicals (ROS) generated both endogenously (triggered by mental and physical fatigue) and by exogenous factors (pollution, UV radiation, nutritional deficiencies) and the availability of natural antioxidant defences.

There is clear evidence indicating oxidative stress as a major factor in both gray hair and excessive hair loss. Stress that continues over time can damage the hair bulb cells, resulting in weakened, brittle hair that is prone to shedding.

Other factors that can alter the ideal hair growth cycle and thus cause further hair fragility and increased hair loss are hormonal effects:

• men may show increased 5-alpha reductase activity. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, the androgen hormone which increases hair loss.

• women, especially in menopause, see their estrogen hormones drop. These female hormones have a positive effect on hair growth, thus their reduction may lead to hair loss.

Treatment strategies

Topical treatments stand as the primary means to control excessive hair loss and promote hair re-densification because, applied onto the scalp, they work locally on the causes of hair follicle weakening and / or atrophy and they also supply nutrients directly to the bulb.

Since the main factors of the imbalance of the hair growth cycle are the micro-inflammation states and oxidative stress, any topical formulation should include active ingredients that work on both causes to truly be effective.

A topical treatment is generally in the form of a hydroalcoholic lotion, which allows to apply it on either dry and wet scalp, after shampooing, and thereby avoid oiliness or heaviness feelings when the lotion is applied to the hair and scalp. The BIOSTIMULINES Revitalizing Herbal Tonic for Hair Loss Treatment is a herbal tonic designed to be applied to the scalp to support this kind of targeted, local care.

A shampoo especially developed for hair prone to shedding is useful when combined with the use of an anti-hair loss treatment.

Is the shampoo so important?

When there is hair loss, especially when abundant, we tend to wash hair less because it takes just the mechanical rubbing of the washing to shed hair, which is no longer firmly anchored to the follicle because it is in the telogen phase.

Because of the short contact time, the shampoo cannot significantly affect hair regrowth, yet it is an important means to keep other factors that increase excessive hair loss under control, such as excessive sebum secretion. Sebum that builds up on the scalp may increase the micro-inflammation, as well as the oxidative stress, because of pollutants and impurities absorbed from the environment (smog, dirt). Hence, in the case of oily hair, it is useful to wash hair frequently, even every day.

The effectiveness of topical products can also be supported by specific dietary supplements through the adoption of a sort of IN & OUT strategy (working from the inside and from the outside of our body).

This is a proper approach because the health of the hair follicle changes also according to our general health, to what we eat and to the environment we live in. The hair follicle is influenced by dietary deficiencies (low-calorie diets) and situations that require increased nutrient intake (such as periods of physical and mental stress), as well as pollutants, smoking and age.

A food supplement developed to promote the health of hair is traditionally based on a number of vitamins (biotin, niacin), special minerals (zinc, copper, selenium) and sulfur amino acids like cysteine, important for the synthesis of keratin. Since oxidative stress plays a key role in hair loss, adding vegetable antioxidants is also important. The most innovative formulations are designed to promote the body's own antioxidant potential and should be supplementary to our normal food to quickly and effectively target the problem.
