Your skin faces daily challenges – from pollution and blue light exposure to stress and fatigue – all of which contribute to dullness and premature ageing. Sothys’ DX Glow programme is designed to combat these effects with a professional treatment and a scientifically formulated at-home skincare duo. This article explores how the DX Glow range works, its key ingredients, and how to incorporate it into your skincare routine for a radiant, revitalised complexion.
Understanding the exposome and its impact on the skin
Sothys Advanced Research has always been at the forefront of skincare innovation, and with its latest DX Glow programme, the brand tackles one of the biggest contributors to skin ageing: the exposome.
This term refers to the sum of environmental and behavioural factors that affect skin health, including pollution, climate, and lifestyle choices such as smoking and sleep deprivation.
Over time, these external aggressors impair cellular function, leading to a decline in energy levels, oxidative stress, and reduced oxygenation. The visible effects? A dull, tired complexion with diminished radiance and an uneven skin tone. In fact, research indicates that 80% of skin ageing is due to environmental and lifestyle factors.
The DX Glow solution: A complete programme for skin defence and restoration
Recognising the profound effects of modern living on skin health, Sothys has developed DX Glow – an innovative skincare programme designed to defend, restore balance, and enhance skin radiance. Suitable for all skin types, genders, and ages, this regimen consists of an intensive professional treatment and an at-home skincare duo: the Glow Defence Serum and Glow Defence Cream.
Whether the skin is showing early signs of burnout or already struggling with fatigue, DX Glow offers a targeted solution to re-energise and revitalise.
The power of nature and science: Key active ingredients
Sothys’ DX Glow programme is formulated with a blend of plant-based and marine-derived active ingredients that work in synergy to protect, restore, and strengthen the skin.
1. Defence against environmental stressors:
- Organic nasturtium flower: Shields cells from blue light exposure and high-energy radiation.
- Organic elderberry extract: Provides an anti-pollution barrier with antioxidant properties.
2. Rebalancing the skin’s natural defences:
- Organic myrtle: Restores antioxidant balance, helping skin recover from oxidative stress.
- Resilient microalgae: Maintains protein balance within cells, ensuring skin resilience.
3. Strengthening and energising the skin:
- Organic blackcurrant buds: Enhances cell oxygenation to combat fatigue.
- Energising organic Siberian ginseng root extract: Boosts intracellular energy levels, raising ATP production by up to 99%.
DX Glow professional treatment: A multiphase facial for instant results
The DX Glow Intensive Treatment is a luxurious 1-hour 15-minute professional facial designed to counteract the effects of daily aggressors. Combining a double cleanse, double mask, and the signature Digi-Esthétique® massage technique, this six-phase protocol instantly enhances the skin’s glow and improves overall skin condition when done as a course of three treatments.
Treatment phases:
- Deep cleansing: Prepares the skin for optimal absorption.
- Purification: Detoxifies and refines pores.
- Defence and energy activation: Boosts the skin’s natural barrier.
- Massage for skin activation: Stimulates circulation for enhanced radiance.
- Double mask application: Infuses skin with hydration and brightening actives.
- Protective finishing touch: Seals in results for a long-lasting glow.
After just one session, 100% of users reported that their skin appeared more radiant and felt softer. After a course of three treatments, 95% of users stated they would recommend it to a friend.
