Proper skin care in spring

In the spring, our skin needs more care in comparison with other seasons. Even in winter, the nutrition of the skin is not paid as much attention as at the beginning of the spring season. Throughout the long Russian winter, our body is exposed to quite serious stresses: cold air, lack of vitamins and trace elements, as well as sunlight has a very negative impact on immunity. In turn, its reduction leads to problems not only with the health of the whole organism, but also its individual organs, including the skin. And to look good, you need to know how to prepare the skin for the spring.

Causes of poor skin condition in spring

The main problem, of course, is winter time. Skin under the influence of cold and wind is dried up, loses its protective properties and begins to peel off. But spring adds to the difficulties. Its impact is a constant temperature drop, a beginning avitaminosis and poor ecology. In addition, it is at this time of the year that we experience the greatest amount of stress, which also has a negative effect on the skin.

In order to improve the condition of the skin in this case, conventional cosmetics becomes insufficient, so it is better to apply a more effective facial skin treatment in the spring. For this, let us consider the main problems that arise at this time of the year.

Cleaning of the epidermis

Before starting any procedures for moisturizing and nourishing the skin, it is first necessary to clean its upper layer - the epidermis. By the way, in the spring it is not recommended to perform a deep cleansing of the face, as the skin is already in a stressful condition, and what is useful in other seasons will bring only harm in the spring. Instead of going to the beauty salon, it is better to spend a sparing cleaning at home.

Means for face cleaning

As a rule, such skin care in spring is carried out with the help of purchased scrubs or masks, which you can prepare yourself. For different types of skin different components are used, so when buying ready-made cosmetics, pay attention to the composition of the product.

Since for normal and dry skin, a softer care is needed, then a mask with sea salt is applied to the face. Massaging is carried out not more than one minute, after which the composition is washed off and a nourishing cream is applied.

In the case of faded skin, after 35 years, it is worth using compounds containing avocado, jojoba oil and other emollients.

Care for combination skin in the spring involves the use of coarser purifiers, such as apricot stones, ground amber or almonds. Massage is performed for about 2-3 minutes. If there is a problem of dilated pores, cosmetic clay masks are used to narrow them.

How to use cleansers correctly?

When using cosmetics, several rules should be observed:

• Do not use gel scrubs, since they usually contain fruit acids. The principle of action of such a means is to dissolve keratinized cells on the surface of the skin, while also destroying natural protection.
• Skin care in the spring and all cleaning activities are conducted in the evening, before going to bed.
• Observe the order of the massage to prevent stretching the skin, which is not easy now.
• The ready scrub is washed off immediately after use, home - in 5-7 minutes.
• To increase the tone of the skin, do a contrast rinse, rinse the mask with warm water, and then rinse the skin cold.

Additional measures to cleanse the body of toxins

The state of the skin directly depends on the overall health of the body and primarily on the number of toxins in it. In order to return the skin a healthy and flowering appearance, it is necessary to clean not only its layers, but the whole organism as a whole. There are several safe ways to do this yourself.

Drink every morning a glass of warm water with freshly squeezed lemon juice diluted in it. This product contains a large number of antioxidants, due to which it detoxifies well. Similar properties have a grated apple, milk or beet. The use of these products three times a day also helps to cleanse the body and provides proper skin care in the spring.

A good way to cleanse is to visit a sauna or a sauna. Due to the effect of high temperature, all pores of the skin are opened, and a large number of harmful substances are excreted from the body . This process can be helped by taking during tea or currant tea or marigold.

Restoring the protection of the skin

After cleaning, the protection must be restored, since it is due to the violation of the hydrolysed film in the skin that the fat and water balance is disturbed. As a result, the skin becomes dry, flaky and irritated.

In this case, the proper care of the skin in the spring will help restore its former radiance, restore elasticity and smoothness. For this, it is necessary to provide moisture and nutrition not only from the outside with the help of masks, but also by consuming enough water and vitamins. On the day of the dehydrated organism after winter, not less than 2 liters of water, plenty of fruits or vegetables, and if necessary, the use of chemist's vitamins. In the latter case, before buying drugs, it is recommended that you first consult a doctor who will accurately determine which vitamins and trace elements are deficient.

What means to use for moisturizing and nourishing the skin?

Facial skin care in the spring basically involves moisturizing and only after that food. Therefore, while the epidermis is actively cleansed, give up creams with nutritious elements and use moisturizing serums and masks. Good results are given by kefir masks with the addition of various vitamins in ampoules, which will help not only moisturize, but also protect the skin.

There are certain substances, the need for which the skin experiences in the spring. Advice On application of chemist's vitamins:

• Vitamin A restores the body's immunity.
• Vitamin E restores the water balance and promotes the revival of the hydrolipid film, the main protection of the skin.
• Vitamin C protects the skin from free radicals and restores its tone and elasticity.
• Vitamin B6 will remove irritation and inflammation of the skin.

However, before you begin to care for the face, you need to pay attention to the most problematic area, the so-called T-zone.

Problems of the T-zone

Shine in the area of the T-zone may appear in the case, even if the skin itself is rather dry. And this is not a sign of fatiness of the skin, but a signal about its dehydration. When the hydrolyside film is broken on the surface of the skin, the body tries to protect it by applying other resources, namely sebum. Therefore, trying to get rid of the unpleasant brilliance with the help of degreasing agents, you only aggravate the situation.

Care for problem skin in the spring should include mainly moisturizers containing hyaluronic and lactic acid. The agent should be chosen according to the type of skin, the correct choice can be judged by the disappearance of the gloss and the feeling of tightness after using the cream.
