6 Steps to a Rejuvenating Body Care

Body care is not only about our external appearance, but also the sense of well-being and self-confidence that we will feel if we do it regularly. ...Stretch marks, dry skin, cellulite and acne before they reach the point of needing pharmaceutical or medical treatment can be proactively treated with a simple body care tailored to your needs!

Choosing the right exfoliator for your skin type

Exfoliation is a process that aims to remove the dead keratinocytes that are on the surface of the skin. As we age (and not only then), the rate of natural cell renewal of the skin decreases.

This can lead to the accumulation of dead cells, causing dullness and uneven skin appearance. Exfoliation removes the dead layer of cells and thus accelerates natural cell renewal. At the same time, exfoliation helps to improve the penetration of care products into the skin, making them more effective.

Recommended:

1. Mechanics exfoliants: They contain microscopic particles (different kinds of granules) that help exfoliate the surface layer of the skin.

2. Chemical exfoliants: They contain substances such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) or beta hydroxy acids (BHA) that dissolve dead cells.

3. Enzymatic exfoliants: Contain plant enzymes that help break down dead skin cells.

Moisturization and the Right Lotion for Every Skin

The skin, as the largest organ of the human body, is exposed daily to environmental factors, such as solar radiation, pollutants and chemicals, which can sterilize its natural moisture.

Proper hydration helps to restore the skin's natural water balance, keeping it elastic, shiny and healthy. In addition to providing a feeling of freshness and renewal, hydration makes it easier for the skin to perform its basic functions, such as protection from external factors and cell renewal.

Recommended:

• Dry Skin:

  • Lotion based on shea butter.

  • Moisturizer with deep moisturizing properties, such as avocado oil or argan oil.

• Oily Skin:

  • lotion with antioxidant properties, e.g. with vitamin C.

  • Lotion with matte finish effect to reduce oiliness.

• Mature Skin:

  • Products containing retinol to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Moisturizers with antioxidant properties, such as pomegranate oil or grape seed oil.

Body Masks: Moisturizing, Nourishing, and Revitalizing

A large category in body care, are body masks (something similar to face masks). Body masks are designed based on various formulas containing polypeptides, lipids, antioxidants and other active ingredients that penetrate the skin and promote hydration, regeneration and improvement of elasticity. They aim to improve the structure of the skin at a molecular level, enhancing the synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, substances of vital importance for the health and resistance of the skin.

Let's take a look at some common types found in body masks:

1. Moisturizing Masks: Suitable for dry skin, these masks contain ingredients like shea butter, avocado oil, and hyaluronic acid that deeply hydrate the skin.

2. Exfoliating Masks: They remove dead cells from the surface of the skin, leaving the skin renewed and smooth.

3. Clay masks: Suitable for oily and acne-prone skin, since they absorb sebum and clean pores.

4. Nourishing masks: Contains ingredients such as argan oil, proteins, and vitamins that help repair and renew the skin.

5. Soothing masks: With the help of aloe, calendula and chamomile, they offer soothing properties to irritated or sensitive skin.

6. Anti-aging masks: Contains ingredients such as retinol, peptides, and antioxidants that help fight the signs of aging.

Body care and cellulite

>>

If you have cellulite, there are some important body care steps you can take to improve the look and texture of your skin. First, good blood circulation is vital. Massage and treatments that focus on it can help reduce the symptoms of cellulite. At the same time, let's not neglect exercise. The combination of physical exercise and body care can prove to be extremely effective!

Caring for firming and antiaging

Skin sagging is very normal in older age. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin - two key proteins that provide support and elasticity to the skin - decreases. This leads to the skin becoming thinner, less elastic and therefore more prone to sagging.

In addition, over time, the fatty layers under the skin can become weaker, which also contributes to skin sagging. The result is the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and sagging.

Daily hydration and antioxidants play a major role in such a case, while massage can stimulate blood circulation, detoxify the skin and improve the appearance of the skin.

Recommended:

1. Anti-aging serums: They often contain powerful ingredients such as retinol, hyaluronic acid, peptides and antioxidants. Serums are quickly absorbed by the skin and offer concentrated care.

2. Firming creams for the body: Specially formulated to improve skin elasticity and firmness, containing ingredients such as collagen and elastin.
