Skin Cares: how to keep a young face

Skin Cares : we bet on vitamin C

A dose of vitamin C every day would be perfect. Lemon juice with tea, in water, on raw vegetables, in yogurt. In addition, vitamin C serum in the morning on the face, neck and back of the hands. On the cream side, it is better to choose formulas containing at least 5% vitamin C, with effects that appear six months after application.

Why does it work?

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and protects against UV induced damage and stimulates the production of collagen by the skin. That allows it to fight against wrinkles. It also has an action on the radiance of the skin tone. Skin becomes even brighter if you use a treatment that contains it (Idealia Pro from Vichy, for example).

Skin Cares : we do not forget night cream

We’ve all already heard this advice that consists to say “it’s better to let the skin breathing at night”. But from age of 45, if you do not put anything on it skin before going to bed, it may lose its lipids during the night. When you have a normal skin, you can go for a dry skin cream. Choose a lighter one if you do not like the feeling of a thick cream one on your skin.

Why does it work?

Fat intake plays an extremely important role regardless of your skin type. It is thanks to them that the epidermis maintains its balance, protects itself and defends itself against external aggressions. Especially when it’s cold, and even more so when it gets old. We therefore choose an anti-aging treatment that contains enough “fat” (Substiane + from La Roche-Posay, for example).

Skin Cares : take enough rest

Recent studies have highlighted the importance of sleep for skin care. No cream really removes the fatigue that shows up on the face. The only solution is, resting, get enough sleep.

Why does it work?

We all know that our features are much more rested when we have had a good night. A finding confirmed by various chronobiology studies, which have shown that our body, and therefore our skin, recovers at night. It is from 1 am that it begins to repair itself. Thus, during the day, your skin protects itself better against aggression.

Skin Cares : Massage your tense features

For the face too, massage deserves to be rehabilitated! Because over the years, expression lines become tense and contracted, like perpetually worried. If we cannot remove wrinkles, we can on the other hand relax the features. When you apply your cream in the morning and night, massage softly your skin in applying with the tips of your fingers a circular motion.

Why does it work?

During massage, the body secretes antioxidant hormones. Massage also stimulates local skin microcirculation. Hence that improved tissue exchange and oxygenation. It is therefore a good natural anti-wrinkle agent that relaxes the face. furthermore massage amplifies the action of the cream and the penetration of the active agents.

how taking care of his body

We take care of our hands

We take care of our face a lot more than our body or than our hands. From the age of 50, we really have to care about them if we don’t want them to be too much marked by age. Rather than applying a mask , we recommend using Bepanthene ointment, intended for babies buttocks, as a night cream. It’s not expensive and very well tolerated.

Why does it work?

Our hands are assaulted throughout the day. As they only have a thin hydrolipidic layer, they must be “creamed” regularly. Avoid excess of hot and cold, dry them with a towel (instead of using an electric hand dryer) . Otherwise, the skin dries up and the lime contained in water attacks its protective barrier. Hands must also be protected as much as possible from the sun. By wearing, for example, thin cotton gloves for gardening or cycling you contribute to their protection.

Apply cream on your legs every day

Apply cream twice a day from the age of 40. Because the skin, already thin on the shins, get more thiner with time, and sun makes things worst. The best moisturizers, for this area are milks or balms, intended for atopic skin, for example. Because they contain more lipids than the others.

Why does it work?

The better the skin legs is hydrated, the better it resists to aging and shocks, which leave scars beyond a certain age. From the ankles to the knees, a nourishing treatment is applied by massaging morning and evening (Avène Trixera +, for example).

We clean our skin deeper.

After the summer, cleaning your skin well is essential because it got thicker to protect itself and may also have been damaged by UV rays. The skin become usually more oily, with the formation of small comedones. It is better to do a gentle exfoliation or a peeling with AHA (fruit acids), in the evening, once or twice a week. Then apply an anti-aging cream or serum. The epidermis recovers perfectly after one to three months of treatment.

Why does it work?

Exfoliating your skin with an AHA product (SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator, for example) helps it renew itself. In addition, when the skin is cleaner, the active agents are more effective and can penetrate into the superficial dermis. This kind of treatment is suitable for all types of skin, except sensitive.

Make your skin resplended again

It is in part thanks to its texture that our skin is resplendent . Several steps are necessary to restore its shine. First, a good daily make-up-cleansing (without stripping) … even if you haven’t put any make-up. Second: treat your skin with fruit acids or vitamin C. Third: drink enough and consume enough good fats (essential fatty acids) ensuring flexibility and elasticity.

It’s always important to getting close to your dermatologist before applying any cream or treatment on your skin
