5 tips for radiant facial skin in the spring

During the cold period of the year, the facial skin is subjected to additional stress - moisture, wind gusts and reduced air temperature in combination with dry indoor air is a real test. Under these conditions, cell regeneration processes and skin metabolism slow down, making the skin look rough, dry, gray and dull. Ivanda Krastiņa, a pharmacist of the pharmacy network "Apotheka", tells how to take care of the facial skin so that it is radiant while waiting for spring.

For facial skin to be lovely and radiant, it have to be taken care of every day, the entirety is primarily based on a healthful lifestyle and a balanced weight-reduction plan, however similarly important is the daily care of the facial pores and skin. Facial care and activities,

1 Full sleep

One of the basic elements of good health and beautiful skin is a healthy sleep. It is an important skin rejuvenator, so it is recommended to spend seven to nine hours a day sleeping. Equally important is the quality of sleep and timely rest, because at night the skin regenerates most actively. At night, the skin undergoes intensive metabolic processes - the cells absorb and use nutrients, get rid of toxins and produce the necessary substances to maintain skin functions, such as collagen. When falling asleep skin "footprints" and dark circles under the eyes decrease.

2 Fresh air and facial skin fitness

Spending time in the fresh air combined with physical activity will improve the tone and appearance of facial skin in general. Oxygen saturation of the body will improve, thus promoting metabolic processes in cells. Facial fitness or yoga has also proved its importance, because the face has muscles that improve blood circulation, form additional collagen and elastin, strengthen small muscles and ligaments, which improve skin firmness and prevent the formation of edema. Regular exercises strengthen the oval of the face, reduce "crow's feet" and "caring grooves", as well as tone the skin. As the skin tone and tone of the face improves, the skin looks vibrant and healthy.

3 Purification

Every day the skin needs to be cleansed both in the morning and in the evening, using a facial cleansing gel, micellar water, cleansing milk or lotion. To more effectively clean the layer of dead cells on the stratum corneum, a scrub appropriate to the skin type should be used. There are both mechanical scrubs that contain abrasive particles (salt, sugar, pieces of fruit stones or loofah) in the gel or emulsion, and peeling scrubs that contain keratolytic - cell-degrading - substances (fruit enzymes and fruit acids). Owners of oily skin can use mechanical scrubs or stronger fruit acid peels, while those with sensitive and dry skin should be careful and choose gentle, fine mechanical scrubs or light peels. It is recommended to use the scrubs once a week or once every two weeks. They effectively clean the top layer of the skin, so the skin becomes more radiant, smoother, but the skin tone is even. The moisturizing, nourishing and correcting components of the cream penetrate much deeper into the skin, improving its metabolism and appearance.

4 Moisturizing

Due to low temperatures and dry indoor air, the skin loses more moisture, so hydration is especially important during the cold season. Creams and serums containing hyaluronic acid, allantoin, mannose, rhamnose, glycerin, panthenol, uric acid, carboxylic acid glycolic acid, polyphenols and shea butter better moisturize the skin. The serum fills the top layers of the skin with moisturizing components in a much more concentrated way and should be used before applying the cream daily. It is also recommended to use moisturizing masks once or twice a week. In addition, it is possible to moisturize the face during the day with face water, which is available in the form of aerosols - it not only moisturizes the facial skin, but also refreshes and refreshes it. In addition to using topical products, it is important to remember to take water - it is recommended to take at least one and a half to two liters of water a day. It is the water that helps to deliver the necessary nutrients and oxygen to the deeper layers of the skin, so that the skin can fully regenerate and look healthy, radiant and smooth.

5 Feeding

For the skin to look healthy, beautiful, firm, toned, with less pronounced wrinkles and wrinkles, it needs to absorb certain substances. In cosmetics these substances are collagen, peptides, elastin, vitamins (E, A (retinol), C, F, K, niacinamide), Q10, probiotics, omega 3, 9 fatty acids. They are active substances with nourishing, antioxidant, cell rejuvenating, lifting, anti-wrinkle and oval firming effects.

A well-thought-out diet can also restore and help the skin to stay younger for longer - it is necessary to eat vegetables and fruits, because they contain the necessary vitamins and antioxidants that strengthen the skin's protective function, protect cells from oxidative stress, toxins, increased aging and death. Another very important part of the diet is protein, because they contain the much-needed collagen and peptides, which contain skin cells together, responsible for skin tone, firmness, firm oval, without skin slip wrinkles, wrinkles. Probiotics have also been shown to play an important role in maintaining healthy skin - they are added to cosmetics to create the right microbiome on the skin's surface, thus ensuring the skin's protective functions, proper metabolism and moisture levels in the skin's top layer.
