Reflecting your state of fatigue, your health, your skin suffers daily attacks from heat, cold, pollution, dust … It’s up to you to take care of it and protect it with suitable cosmetics. But to meet its needs, it is still necessary to know it well.
Face: perfect hygiene day after day
It must become a daily ritual: cleanse-tone-hydrate. When getting out of bed, to rid your face of sweat, sebum and dust accumulated during the night. In the evening, because your skin has been made up, soiled, attacked by pollution all day.
Clean : With or without water? It’s up to you to judge, according to your sensitivity: a very soft milk, a creamy oil, a fresh gel, a bar of tender soap. You use a makeup remover to remove makeup, then a specific soap for your face. Be gentle! So as not to “strip” your skin, massage with your fingertips, without rubbing, in a circular fashion, from the forehead to the neckline. Even out of laziness, never wash your face with shower gel or shampoo! Suitable for the scalp or thicker skin, they can be aggressive and dry out the skin.
Tone : You dab, with cotton, a softening, astringent, stimulating or moisturizing lotion… This way the epidermis can better assimilate the cream or the treatment. Dry gently with a tissue.
hydrate : Finally apply your cream. During the day, to protect against external aggressions, and for the night, it will be a treatment that regenerates the tissues or treats imperfections. If in winter, you need rich and nourishing textures, in summer, a light and melting cream is sufficient.
Caring for my skin
Once or twice a week, we cleanse the skin to wake up the complexion’s radiance! The scrub eliminates dead cells and promotes good penetration of cosmetics. Avoid imperfections and the overly sensitive eye area. Then, a well-being break, with the mask. It reinforces the action of your daily care. Depending on the condition of your skin, choose an anti-aging, purifying, moisturizing, toning, etc. product. But when you are a mother, you are sorely lacking in time. No more preconceived ideas! It only takes a few seconds to spread a mask, 5 minutes for it to dry while you prepare the breakfast table and a moment to rinse it off with lukewarm water. During Baby’s nap, enjoy a beauty break. Taking time for yourself is good for your morale!
To each their own skin type
50% of women ignore it or trust the opinion of their best friend… Take the time to make your skin diagnosis with a dermatologist, a beautician or by asking yourself the right questions: “How is she to the touch; when I observe it closely and what are my feelings?”Fine, coarse, with a tight grain. My fair complexion lacks radiance. My skin feels tight and itchy, especially on the cheeks, which can easily be irritated. I have dry skin, soft and oily, thick, irregular grain. The pores are visible and enlarged, with a tendency to imperfections. I have oily skin, more oily in the middle area (forehead, wings of the nose, chin) than on the rest of my face and the pores are sometimes dilated. I have combination skin.
Less tonic than before, relaxes in places, becomes dehydrated. With small wrinkles. I have mature skin. All of them, you can also have sensitive skin: a tendency to allergies and red or itchy patches in case of stress and fatigue… What a program!
