10 basic principles of autumn skin care
The skin needs to be taken care of every day. But every season makes its own adjustments to this care. Here are some basic rules that will help protect the skin from the autumn weather.
1. It is necessary to maintain the correct level of hydration
It is very simple to comply with this requirement. To do this, you just need to regularly use your favorite moisturizer. In summer, under the scorching rays of the sun, no one forgets about this rule, but in autumn, when it is constantly drizzling, the need for regular humidification is somehow overlooked. One of the most effective means to moisturize the skin are creams, which include hyaluronic acid. If the cream is not enough, then you can choose a special serum in addition to it.
2. Sun protection does not lose relevance
Of course, the autumn sun is not as hot as the summer sun, but it is still necessary to protect yourself from excess ultraviolet light. This protection is especially important for those whose skin is hypersensitive, quickly becomes covered with freckles or turns very red in the sun.
3. Vitamins and antioxidants are needed every day
The heavier the weather, the shorter the daylight hours and the fewer fresh vegetables and fruits, the more the body needs to get full-fledged vitamins. Therefore, you should try to make your diet in such a way that it contains all the necessary vitamins, as well as help your skin a little with special enriched creams, serums and nourishing masks. Cold weather allows you to make small allowances in the diet in the direction of increasing its caloric content, and this should be taken advantage of immediately, including various vegetable oils in the food — olive, sesame, almond, black cumin oil. Avocado can become another wonderful supplier of vitamins, high-quality vegetable oil and powerful antioxidants. By the way, you can eat it (in reasonable quantities) without any fear of getting fat, since this magical fruit, despite its caloric content, has an amazing ability to normalize lipid metabolism.
4. Use moisturizing wipes
If the usual means of moisturizing are clearly not enough for you, then you can always have moisturizing wipes with you and, if necessary, wipe your face with them.
5. Protect capillaries
The piercing autumn wind, as well as sudden temperature changes when we enter a warm room from a cold street, provoke such an unpleasant skin reaction as constantly dilated capillaries. The face at the same time burns, flakes off, and its color is very far from perfect. A special anti-age cosmetics will help protect and strengthen the capillaries, which the specialists of any beauty salon will help you choose.
6. Increase vitamin D intake
Constant redness of the skin, pimples, painful cracks - all this indicates that you are experiencing a lack of vitamin D. In the autumn period, you can enrich your diet with either appropriate products or supplements containing this vitamin.
7. Protect yourself from colds
A cold is always unpleasant in itself. And even after you say goodbye to it, it will remind you of itself for a long time with a bad skin condition. Therefore, try to avoid colds by all means. To do this, you need to dress according to the weather, try to walk in the fresh air every day and get enough sleep. Of course, such advice is easy to give, but it is very difficult to carry out. But, unfortunately, there are simply no other algorithms.
8. Pay attention to fish oil and other omega-3 acids
Many people can't stand fish oil. But the skin, nails and hair are always delighted with him. Therefore, try to take it sometimes, even if its taste does not belong to your favorite treats. The reward will be elastic skin and shiny hair.
9. Humidify the air in the bedroom
As soon as the heating season begins, the indoor air becomes deadly dry. A special humidifier will help to correct the situation. There is no shortage of such devices today. They are presented in all variants, starting from compact budget devices, ending with luxury designer models that will serve as a real interior decoration.
10. Wash your face carefully
In autumn, you need to be very careful about the selection of soap and other cleaning products. In no case should they over-dry the skin. For a gentle cleansing, you can recall such a fail-safe remedy as olive oil. It is very easy to clean the skin with it: first, the face is wiped with a swab moistened with heated oil, and then the remaining oil is washed off with water.
