Beauty Strategies to Keep Your Skin Healthy and Beautiful When You Return from Summer Vacation
Nutrition, ad hoc treatments and simple daily actions to put into practice immediately when you return home
During a summer spent in the sun, our complexion certainly appears brighter: biscuit-colored cheeks are a panacea for increasing our self-esteem! Along with a tan, however, the danger of photoaging (photoaging caused by solar rays) also appears, just around the corner... How can we prevent all this from happening? By taking care of our beauty with small practical strategies.
1- Exfoliate
When you return from vacation, exfoliation is essential to eliminate dead cells from the skin of the face (but also of the body) and thin the most superficial part of the epidermis: the stratum corneum that thickens precisely to face the "dangers" of the sun. Take some time to emulsify the texture of the scrub of your choice on damp skin (never dry, because the mechanical action of the microgranules would be too aggressive) acting with light circular movements.
2- Hydrate
Maintaining hydration is important. Fundamental to showing off plump and silky skin is hyaluronic acid, a molecule that our body naturally produces capable of retaining water in the upper layers of the epidermis. After thirty years of age, hyaluronic acid gradually decreases, which is why integrating it can be a good solution to evaluate together with your doctor or trusted pharmacist.
3- More elasticity
Vitamin C is useful for the formation of collagen, which in turn can promote the elasticity of our skin. Also in this case it is possible to evaluate with the doctor or pharmacist whether to take supplements containing these ingredients.
4- Aim for copper
Not everyone knows that there is a mineral that is useful for promoting regular skin pigmentation: copper, which can also be easily taken through supplements.
5- Shea Butter & Co.
To combat dryness on the face and body and maintain the skin, use super hydrating and nourishing creams based on vegetable butters and oils. There really are some for all “tastes”.
6- Water
Finally, you can never forget to drink. Water, water and more water! Eight glasses a day, especially during the hottest season, is the perfect dose for the skin of the face and body to maintain the right balance.
Caution: It is always good to keep in mind that supplements should never be considered as substitutes for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
