“Business cosmetic bag” Yandex Zen invites readers of Healthy-Food to discuss the topical issue: how to tidy up after winter, because in spring, despite all its joys, our skin is in a stressful state. The author of the beauty blog Ekaterina Semenova advises where to start.
Skin and seasons
With the arrival of the long-awaited spring, the problem of dryness does not go away, and the risks of the new season – beriberi and ultraviolet – are replacing the adverse winter factors. That is why it is important to take care of the skin comprehensively, so that the result always pleases us.
So, 5 steps on the way to beautiful skin.
1. We connect vitamins
Beauty starts from the inside, so it is important to fill the deficiency of vitamins and minerals. To do this, start eating more consciously and varied, include nuts, vegetables and herbs in your diet, do not abuse fatty and spicy foods. You can visit a therapist who will recommend a vitamin complex, taking into account your general state of health.
2. Moisturize the skin and protect from the sun
Properly chosen care will help achieve two goals – to give the skin the right moisture and protect it from UV rays.
Remember: good hydration is necessary for the skin, regardless of the type – dry, oily or combination. Lack of moisture causes oily skin to secrete even more oil. Dry skin without proper hydration loses elasticity, premature age-related changes appear.
As for ultraviolet, it is important not to neglect sunscreen, because the active sun initiates the aging process, dries out, and leads to hyperpigmentation. And fighting dark spots is much more difficult than preventing them.
Cream fluid Vichy Slow Age moisturizes the skin well, corrects and evens out wrinkles due to the unique formula with antioxidant, probiotic and mineralizing thermal water of volcanic origin. It is also important that the product contains SPF-factor 25, which is necessary for protection from the sun in the city.
3. Take care of the skin around the eyes
The delicate and fragile skin around the eyes needs to be moisturized and well nourished. She is most prone to dryness. Inappropriate cosmetics will only exacerbate the problem, so it is especially important for the eyelids to choose the right product.
Intensive nourishing treatment for the eye area “Luxury Dining” by L’Oreal Paris contains royal jelly and shea butter. As you know, royal jelly is rich in proteins, vitamins and lipids, and shea butter nourishes and regenerates the skin.
4. Carefully remove makeup
Of course, make-up must be removed as carefully as possible so as not to stretch or irritate the skin. But not to the detriment of the quality of cleansing – there should be no streaks from mascara and traces of foundation on the face.
where to find?

We apply the product on a cotton pad, apply it to the eyes for a few seconds – and carefully remove the shadows and mascara. Micellar water is suitable even for sensitive skin.
5. Don’t forget about the body
Dryness affects not only the skin of the face, but also the body. It can peel off and even itch a little. Have you experienced discomfort due to dryness? If the answer is yes, regular soap should be replaced with a milder one.
New from the dermatological laboratory La Roche-Posay Lipid-Replenishing Emollient Bath & Shower Oil ideal for dry, very dry and atopic-prone skin. Due to the fact that the product does not contain soap, parabens and alcohol, cleansing is as gentle as possible. The oil is suitable even for babies, and this speaks for itself.
Do not neglect the exfoliation of the skin. In combination with a light massage, it improves blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. And if you use a nourishing cream after the scrub, you are provided with velvety soft skin, which is a pleasure to touch. With regular care, dryness disappears. The bonus of this procedure is the prevention of ingrown hair after depilation.
In the arsenal Garnier there is a body kit that relieves dryness and improves skin elasticity. It includes “Precious Beauty Scrub” with argan seed shell powder and four types of oils, which allows you to gently exfoliate the skin; a washcloth in the form of a glove, with which you can massage problem areas well; as well as «Precious oil of beauty», completing the process of body care.
