Just as each of us is different, each skin has different needs and struggles with different problems. The key to her health and beauty is proper care and choosing products specially designed for her.
Sensitive skin after depilation, with stretch marks – how to care for it?
Sensitive skin can be defined as skin that is characterized by a reduced tolerance to the cosmetics used or external irritating factors, such as sun, cold, wind, but also, for example, depilation treatments, tattooing, weight fluctuations stretching the skin. Symptoms that accompany sensitive skin are very diverse. This includes itching, burning, redness, inflammation of the hair follicles, dryness or even pain. These symptoms can occur from minutes to hours after contact with a cosmetic product / external agent or even after a certain period of use of the product. [1]
Choosing the right cosmetics for the care of sensitive skin is extremely important. Pay attention to their composition and avoid products that contain sulfates and artificial colors. These ingredients can irritate and dry the delicate skin. Nature comes to our aid in the care of sensitive skin, and with it natural essential oils and oils.
With the care of sensitive skin in mind, a specialized protective emulsion Optima Natura OILS & THERAPY was created, one of the most important ingredients of which is tea tree oil. Its action has been supported by many studies – it has an antiseptic effect and soothes any inflammation. What’s more, this ingredient makes the emulsion provide a long-lasting effect of freshness, especially desirable on hot days.
The specialist Optima Natura OILS & THERAPY protective emulsion has excellent nourishing and repairing properties. Perfect for use after shaving and epilation of intimate areas, armpits and legs. The emulsion prevents inflammation of the hair follicles, which is a common problem after depilation treatments. It causes aesthetic discomfort, and the prolonged inflammation of the hair follicles may lead to the formation of permanent marks and prolongation of the treatment process.
Thanks to its ingredients, the OILS & THERAPY protective emulsion also reduces skin inflammation, brings relief and soothes discomfort after other irritations: scratches, abrasions on the thighs, burns or insect bites. What’s more, the preparation is easily and quickly absorbed, while leaving the skin moisturized.
Scars and stretch marks – how to fight them? How to prevent them?
Stretch marks are nothing more than a type of scar that results when our skin stretches too quickly and collagen fibers break. Initially, stretch marks appear in the form of bluish-red streaks, which become lighter with time, become slightly smaller and take the form of scars. Stretch marks are especially common in pregnancy (reported by up to 90% of women) [2], in the period of rapid weight gain and intensive growth of adolescents during adolescence.
Like any scar, stretch marks are permanent, but proper care can make them less visible. If you want to prevent their formation, the most important thing is to keep the skin properly moisturized. A specialist smoothing oil, Optima Natura OILS & THERAPY, based on natural oils (sweet almond, argan, macadamia, sunflower, wheat germ and olive oil), is a good choice for the care of skin with scars and stretch marks. It is therefore a completely natural product that leaves a delicate protective film on the skin and a long-lasting moisturizing effect.
The ingredients of the product lighten, shallow and reduce the scars and stretch marks that already exist, and reduce the likelihood of their occurrence. What’s more, Optima Natura oil counteracts the aging of skin cells, thanks to which it maintains its proper firmness and elasticity for longer. For best results, use the oil twice a day for at least three months on dry or slightly damp skin on the hips, abdomen, breasts, thighs and back.
Tattoo skin care – what to do and what to avoid? How to care for a tattoo so that it does not fade?
Everyone who has decided to get a tattoo wants it to look its best. Freshly made, it is a kind of wound that needs to heal properly. For the first weeks, follow all the recommendations of the tattoo artist to avoid skin infections and other possible complications – rinse the tattoo several times a day with clean water with the addition of gray soap (or a special tattoo cleansing gel), do not take long baths, do not wear tight clothing that could compress tattoo, and when going outside, always apply a cream with a filter factor of at least SPF 50+ on the skin.
You should always remember about proper care of tattooed skin, not only at the healing stage. Such skin requires additional, special care, especially when it comes to moisturizing it. The cosmetic that will provide them is Optima Natura OILS & THERAPY tattoo oil based on four natural oils: argan, macadamia seed, wheat germ and sweet almond. The unique combination of ingredients makes the preparation nourish and regenerate the skin, as well as enhance the colors of the tattoo and give it shine. It will also relieve slight skin ailments, e.g. burning and itching. The ingredients of the product are intended for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Foot care – beautiful feet in spring and summer
It is perfectly normal for your feet to sweat. However, for some people, excessive sweating of the feet is a persistent problem that is difficult to control. This applies in particular to people who like sports and physical effort, whose feet closed in shoes work at a higher speed. Remember that the basis of care should be thorough foot hygiene – they should be washed at least twice a day, preferably in cool water, which will constrict blood vessels and reduce sweat secretion. On the other hand, a product that perfectly supports the care of the feet and gives them additional protection is the Optima Natura OILS & THERAPY foot deodorizing spray. The preparation, thanks to the content of tea tree oil, supports antifungal and antibacterial protection, eliminates unpleasant odors and pleasantly cools and refreshes, even on the hottest days. What’s more, it reduces sweating of the feet and helps keep them dry for longer. The spray will therefore be perfect for people who like sports and physical activity – for use, for example, after running, swimming pool, sauna, gym, yoga and fitness classes.
To reduce sweating of the feet, you should also avoid wearing uncomfortable, windproof shoes and plastic socks – it is worth choosing those made of natural materials (e.g. cotton).
