- With proper care and the best products, provide your skin with the care it deserves
When someone tells us we're glowing, they're mostly referring to our personality and complexion. But when someone tells us we're strong, they're usually referring to our inner strength, not so much our skin. But did you know that it can also be seen on the skin that it is strong? Our skin consists of several layers, and the outer, defensive one is called the protective skin barrier. A damaged protective barrier can lead to the appearance of irregularities that will leave a mark on it, but an equally strong protective barrier of the skin can be easily recognized - the skin has a natural glow, the texture is present, but does not change, there are no traces of inflammation or redness, it does not flake and no visible acne. We can agree that it is not so difficult to recognize strong skin, but what is a little more demanding is to strengthen it and, of course, keep it that way. That is why it is necessary to follow several tips that will help you in this.
1. Protect your pores
Since the pores are an important component of the skin, you need to keep them happy - which means they must not be clogged so they can breathe. In general, it is crucial to keep the follicles open and prevent them from clogging which can lead to acne, and this is achieved by regular exfoliation that removes the accumulation of dead skin cells and by applying some form of retinol that accelerates cell renewal to keep the pores clear. However, it is important to note that you can overdo it with such products, so start with this regimen once a week and gradually increase the frequency.
2. Stick to the idea of 'less is more'
When you flood your face with products full of active ingredients, the skin usually resists. One common mistake that many of us make, especially if acne is present, is that we try to scrub or clean our skin too often. By just leading to more irritation or inflammation which is not what we want. Therefore, be gentle when washing your skin and choose moisturizing products to clean your face.
3. Use soothing products
When it comes to skin care, it all boils down to treating your skin nicely, and not conflicting with it, for example with exfoliation or aggressive and drying ingredients. Serums and oils tend to penetrate deep into the skin, especially if they are made with natural ingredients that work for it. What the experts advise is to look for restorative ingredients in the products such as calendula, sycamore, vitamin C and carrot seed extract. It is also recommended to include ceramides in your routine, which strengthen the skin's protective barrier, and moisturizing hyaluronic acid.
4. IAvoid hot water
Although it can be a pleasant feeling to feel the hot water running on your skin, especially when it's cold outside, it is not your skin's friend. Do not use extremely hot water because it directly irritates the skin and takes away the natural components that ensure proper hydration of the skin and preserve the strength of the skin's protective barrier.
5. Protects the skin from external influences
Harsh weather affects only our body, our skin is equally sensitive to them. Very cold, dry air or very hot air can definitely cause skin problems such as dryness, flaking or irritation. It is recommended to use broad-spectrum UV protection every day, apply a generous layer of moisturizing creams adapted to the conditions in which you find yourself.
