In spring and summer it is more difficult to hide the shortcomings of our skin. Both on the face and all over the body. We wear less clothing, which means that we expose our legs or arms more often, and even our belly. We put less layers of makeup on the face, switching from heavy foundations and concealers to lighter or delicate BB creams. Of course, all balms, creams and masks will be useful during this period, but you need to know which of them will be a summer hit!
- Appreciate the power of algae Let’s start with moisturizing and nourishing your skin. Algae is a solution to many skin problems. They are a real “vitamin bomb” that will help us tan the body without unpleasant consequences, take care of its condition and obtain a radiant, healthy skin tone. Algae as a beauty agent were used a thousand years ago by the Chinese. They eliminate skin discolorations, protect against the formation of new ones, thanks to which they will be an ideal solution for increasingly sunny days. You will find them in the composition of cosmetics for couperose skin, because the substances contained in it strengthen and seal the capillaries, thus improving the blood supply to the skin. In addition, they are added to products for acne and seborrhea (they cleanse the skin of toxins), firmness and elasticity, as well as troublesome cellulite – algae contain alginic acid, which stimulates microcirculation, improves metabolism and smoothes the epidermis.
- Bet on argan oil – it has been a real cosmetic hit for some time, which is an excellent way to rejuvenate the skin. In order to improve the complexion, it is good to use it in its pure form on a damp face so that it is better absorbed. It is a strong anti-wrinkle agent because it contains a lot of vitamin E, called the “vitamin of youth”. You might as well replace your night creams with it – argan oil is their natural substitute. It will also be good for dry hair, rubbing it into dry ends, and as a mask for damp strands.
- Don’t forget about collagen – penetrates into the deeper layers of the epidermis and works properly “from the inside”, therefore it will be a natural complement to skin smoothing treatments. Collagen is found naturally in our connective tissue, but there is less and less of it with age. There are various collagen preparations available in the market. In its pure form, this ingredient looks like water, so it should be applied to a washed and damp face for effective absorption. It will fill wrinkles, improve the elasticity of the skin and its elasticity. However, you must be careful not to apply it in too large amounts, because then it may not be absorbed and remain only on the surface of the skin, which will not bring the desired effects.
