NUENCE AND THE ELEMENTS

Introduction

Also called the theory of 5 movements (Wu Xing), the theory of 5 elements must be placed in the context of ancient China. From the observation of the cycles of nature (seasons, day/night), the ancients subdivided everything that surrounds us and composes us into five large interdependent groups: wood, fire, earth, metal and 'water.

Nuence and the WOOD element

In traditional Chinese medicine, the WOOD element represents spring, the growth which asserts itself at the start of a cycle.

Oily skin, linked to an overproduction of sebum by the body, is the manifestation of the imbalances that occur at this time of year and of life (hormonal imbalances of puberty).

Nuence and the FIRE element

In traditional Chinese medicine, the FIRE element represents summer, a period of intense activity in our body.

In this phase, the skin is more sensitive,
sometimes going as far as irritation.
FIRE is associated with the South, with heat, with the sun, from which we must protect ourselves from the harmful effects on the skin (sunburn, burns, redness).

Nuence and the EARTH element

In traditional Chinese medicine, the EARTH element represents the off-season, the end of summer, a time of energy change where the body eliminates toxins and prepares for the start of the next cycle.

The cells are in a period without much disturbance with a need for hydration essential to life but only balance is sought.

NUENCE and the METAL element

In traditional Chinese medicine, the METAL element represents autumn, a period when the body's activity decreases to prepare for winter.

At the cellular level, multiplication activity also begins to slow down.

This slowdown in energy manifests itself in the skin through a lack of hydration, but also a lack of radiance. The skin appears duller.

With Nuence, give your skin balance and harmony to the rhythm of the seasons.

NUENCE and the WATER element

In traditional Chinese medicine, the WATER element represents winter, the end of the cycle, a period where energy is lowest, waiting for the start of a new cycle.

The cells are even less active and their regeneration speed is lower because the cold freezes energies.

There is a drop in collagen production, which makes the skin less firm and less supple and results in the appearance of the first wrinkles.

With Nuence, give your skin balance and harmony to the rhythm of the seasons.
