Our winter has been mild so far, but this seems about to
change. The combination of the cold and dry outside air with the relatively high
inside temperatures leaves our skin even drier, resulting in the breakdown of
the protective layer of the skin thereby making it more difficult for the skin’s
self-repair process to take place.
Certainly the treatment and care we provide to our skin, should
reflect the seasonal requirements.
Hydration - Moisturizing
Our basic skin care routine should absolutely include
products which can provide sufficient hydration to the skin. Choose
moisturizing products containing hyaluronic acid, and other moisturizing agents
which add moisture to the skin, but also protect the moisture that is already
present in the skin. Of course this does
not only applies to the face, neck and décolleté area, but for the entire body.
Peeling
Another key factor for healthy, smooth and supple skin all
year round, is systematic peeling - at least 2 -3 times a month. The more dead
cells that accumulate and remain on the surface of the skin, the less healthy
and shiny our skin looks. Peeling will
remove the dead cells and enable the skin to “breathe” and be ready to accept the
additional effective ingredients that will follow, whether be a cream, serum or
ampoule.
And speaking of serums and ampoules, remember that these
contain highly concentrated active ingredients, which have a really positive noticeable
effect on the skin.
Sun Care
Finally, a very important aspect of winter skin care is the
protection of the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Ultraviolet radiation will do away with the natural
glow of your skin and promote skin discoloration, dryness, and finally the formation
of wrinkles. Consider that even fluorescent lamps emit UVA rays that cause skin
aging. For this reason, regardless of the weather – whether it is sunny,
overcast, or even if it rains - and regardless of your age, you should always
use good sun protection.
Let's get ready to face the cold of winter and welcome
spring with a clean, glowing
and bright skin without imperfections!
Until next time ladies...be beautiful!
