 5 TIPS FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN

Between pollution, hormones, oxidants and now the mask, the skin of the face is put to the test. There are, however, a few simple tips to put into practice to ensure healthy, beautiful skin

REMOVE MAKE-UP AND CLEAN YOUR FACE EVERY DAY:

If you only had to keep one gesture, this is definitely the one. Between make-up and external sources of aggression, dead cells [...] the skin becomes clogged, without even noticing it, all day long. And a clogged skin will cause small pimples, dull complexion and premature aging. It is therefore imperative to go through the makeup removal / cleansing box every evening.

HYDRATE:

Nature is well made. Perfectly hydrated skin will be protected from external aggressions (pollution, cold) and skin aging and will appear plump, softer and more luminous. This is thanks to the hydrolipidic film it produces. This film acts as a protective barrier and also helps the skin to retain its hydration level.

When this film is altered because your skin is dehydrated, it is the "open door" to everything just mentioned. Dehydrated skin will also cause small patches of dryness to appear, not only unsightly but which can also cause itching and / or discomfort. This is why it is necessary to hydrate the skin, morning and evening. In the morning, before makeup, and in the evening after makeup removal / cleansing.
Moisturizers exist in (almost) all formulas: lotion, serum, cream, balm, to choose according to your routine and especially your preference!
Oily skin should not skip this step, fearing that it could accentuate this skin problem. On the contrary, when oily skin is dehydrated, it will produce even more sebum to protect itself and therefore accentuate its "oily" appearance.

ADAPT YOUR CARE TO YOUR SKIN TYPE:

Adopting a skincare routine is a good idea. As long as this routine is adapted to your skin type. Is she dehydrated? Sensitive? Fat? Dry? An epidermis suffering from dryness will not have the same needs as an acne-prone epidermis, for example. Important nuances well understood by cosmetic brands, which generally offer ranges adapted to their skin type.

• For dehydrated skin: it is imperative to bet on highly hydrating formulas, based on hyaluronic acid for example.
• For dry skin: use rich creams with soft textures. Ceramides are particularly recommended.
• For oily, acne-prone skin: moisturizers should be paired with active ingredients that will gently exfoliate your skin, chemically - that is to say grain-free - to rid it of impurities (BHA, AHA) and / or active ingredients which will regulate the production of sebum (zinc, salicylic acid, etc.). It is also necessary to ensure that the products applied to this type of skin are non-comedogenic.
• For dull skin: again, a gentle, grain-free exfoliation is a good ally. It will also be necessary to look at the care based on vitamin C, to be used in cure for example.
• For sensitive skin: for this problem, moisturizing and soothing care is preferred. Hyaluronic acid, protamine B5 (pantheon) will be valuable allies in particular.

The skin can have several needs, it is quite possible to combine several products with different virtues in your routine. In this case where the skincare routine includes several products, the application will be from the most liquid product to the one with the richer texture, either lotion (essence or tonic) - serum - cream.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM UV:

It's no longer a secret, if the sun is good for morale, it can be harmful. For the skin, UV rays can have consequences on its appearance. UVA rays in particular are responsible for accelerated aging, loss of elasticity or even the appearance of brown spots, which are particularly difficult or even impossible to remove when they are installed.

This is why many cosmetologists and specialists recommend wearing sun protection, even when staying in the city. Obviously, in the winter or when you only stay outside for a few minutes, this is not useful. On the other hand, in fine weather, when eating lunch outside, taking a walk, or working behind exposed glass, sun protection should not be neglected.

The brands have understood this well and now offer city sunglasses, the texture of which is worked to allow makeup without problem afterwards. It is also possible to turn to day creams, or even foundations, incorporating an SPF in their formula.

HAVE A HEALTHY LIFE:

While what you apply and the care you provide to your skin are essential, the importance of a healthy lifestyle should not be overlooked. Poor diet, smoking and irregular sleep can cause blemishes and dull complexion.

It is therefore important to ensure that you get enough sleep, eat a balanced diet by promoting the consumption of fruits and vegetables, drink enough water and avoid sources of oxidation (tobacco, sun, etc.).
