Autumn is the „moment of truth” for the skin. Exposed for several months to the damaging effects of UV, soaked „in the waters” already often at the end of summer, it requires careful care. On the other hand, our diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, light smoothies, as well as long hours of rest allow our body, including the skin integral to it, to properly repair damage and cleanse itself brilliantly.
Knowledge of the processes occurring in the skin leads almost inevitably to the thesis that one of the most essential procedures is exfoliation of the epidermis and its hydration. Regular exfoliation of the entire body harmonizes exfoliation, and thus regulates the production of very important elements such as ceramides. When the epidermis is systematically exfoliated its cells, moving from deep layers to the shallowest lying layers, produce ceramides and these are „bars of gold” -. bricks that build a kind of cement/binder that fills the spaces between cells. This protects both against the penetration of harmful particles (allergens) and prevents excessive water loss, without which regeneration in the human body does not occur.
So in autumn, we don’t forget a full body scrub, which we can do once every two weeks or so.
Due to the long exposure to UV radiation and the inflammation thus brought to life, it is advisable to apply to the skin preparations in the form of butters, oils and other natural enriched mixtures, with a high content of Omega 3 acids, panthenol, ceramides, antioxidants and retinol.
The first, or Omega 3 acids, are present in abundance in canola oil, trendy – and rightly so – raspberry seed oil, avocado oil, and flaxseed oil!
The antioxidant group includes, for example, vit C, vit E, glutathione, and their mixtures act synergistically and several times more potent than each of these compounds individually. Carotenoids and flavonoids, including ellagotannins, which are precursors of ellagic acid, an ingredient with intense antiradical activity and protection of DNA (genetic material) of cells (present in raspberry seed oil, among others). Also an ultra-effective ingredient is resveratrol present in dark grape skin extract, as well as ferulic acid, which has been known for years.
So you should use body care products for daily skin care – after every bath or refreshing shower. Remember that excess detergents contained in fragrant, foaming body washes DAMAGE. They should be avoided when we have not managed to „get dirty”. Then you only need to rinse the skin with clean water, and at most refresh the intimate zones with gel. A sure compromise is to use cleansing liquids without SLS, parabens and silicones, based on natural oils and soaping substances.
The autumn-winter aura is also not without „internal” nourishment of the skin. We change our diet, habits, and among them should not miss seasonal vegetables and fruits, fatty fish, the most valuable oils: rapeseed and olive oil. If for some reason we are unable to provide the body with these components, let’s supplement them. Natural preparations containing evening primrose oil or shark liver oil, as well as those containing vit D3 are essential for maintaining healthy and tight skin.
The fall period is also the perfect time to perform laser hair removal treatments and completely get rid of the problem of ingrown hairs. Keep in mind that effectively performed laser hair removal (IPL application is not it) is almost permanent. It contributes greatly to keeping the skin perfectly smooth. This period is also perfect for laser blood vessel sealing procedures on the legs, due to the temporary bruising and darkening of blood vessels that develops after the procedure.
In professional SPA parlors, it is worthwhile to regularly enjoy harmonizing massages and nourishing and nourishing-antivolume rituals. Our body will remain in excellent condition, we will not notice excessive drying and exfoliation of the epidermis, and in summer we will not be forced to perform complicated „rescue” procedures. Massages, on the other hand, during unfavorable weather, allow us to balance or stimulate the functioning of the nervous system and the neurotransmitter system that governs it. Let’s not give up this form of recreation because… touch heals 🙂
