Freeing our skin from impurities that have accumulated in it over the winter, we help her to gently awaken the natural mechanisms that work to meet the season of light and heat.
Spring our skin meets not in the best form of winter was marked by a deficiency of fresh air, the sun, movement, and we eat at this time of year is often not the most optimal way. "As a rule, in the winter we eat more carbohydrates and fat, and less fresh fruit and vegetables, we do not have enough light, we have reduced immunity, says beautician Olga Petrunina, expert Biotherm. Therefore, when the transition time, the skin is particularly vulnerable, sensitive, loses its balance. It is a kind of stress". In such conditions the skin it is difficult to function without fail, and the consequences are not forced to wait. "This body is for our body barrier and performs a protective function, " explains dermatologist Olga Ganelina, expert Vichy. On the one hand, it prevents potentially harmful elements to penetrate into the body, and on the other, brings him waste substances called toxins. This is a perfect mechanism, but it has its limits of power".
Speed skin renewal slows down in the winter, it becomes more dull and sluggish. Plus the deficiency, plus the lack of movement, and therefore may have difficulty with blood circulation... Skin awaits the course of regeneration, which will allow her to get a new life. But before that, it is good to have a little pause for rest, so she could get rid of all the excess. Important tip: do not succumb to the temptation to make a "spring cleaning" under the famous slogan "to the ground, and then...". At this time of year our skin will appreciate just soft, gentle care.
Gently get rid of toxins
"The toxins that are accumulated directly in the skin, are formed under the influence of aggressive environmental factors or negative internal processes - for example, the body's response to stress or unbalanced diet, " says Olga Petrunina. - Urban air pollution, Smoking, lack of sleep also create conditions for the intoxication of the skin. Cells become vulnerable, reduced cell-mediated immunity, and as a result violated the metabolic processes in the skin." If the skin cannot display the products of metabolism, it accumulates.
How to help her get rid of toxins? To create such conditions in which the skin will be able to work in full force, and allow it to perform its functions, in order to gain a truly springtime freshness. One of the most effective detoxification practices - bath, Hammam or sauna. There opens pores, together with a generous then leave the body toxins. The blood rushes to the face, brings the skin cells with oxygen and nutrients. Along with massage and scrubbing those procedures that traditionally accompany a session in the steam room, the skin is released from dead cells and begins to breathe.
Purifying mask with natural absorbent components (for example, clay - blue, pink, green) help the skin get rid of toxins, renew and smooth its surface. So too do soft gommage. Exemption from dead cells not only gives the skin a healthy, fresh look, but also accelerates the process of update.
However, we emphasize it again, help the skin to part with the old and open up new stands with all the delicacy. Not moderately hard and deep cleaning may harm can make skin sensitive, dehydrated, to break her barrier. "The skin has its own microflora, which protects it from external aggression," says Olga Ganelina. These beneficial bacteria that live on the skin can also suffer from too radical procedures. The rules of gentle cleansing is simple: it is better to remove a little bit of dead skin cells every day than a lot - but once a week or two. And do not try to cheat nature: it is better to follow the natural rhythm of life of the skin, which independently is updated approximately every four weeks.
Detoxification of the skin may not be complete, if done exclusively on the outside, on its surface. A useful habit to start the day with a glass of warm water with a small amount of fresh lemon juice. This drink stimulates digestion, and therefore helps to remove toxins from the body. And besides, it gives the body portion of oxidants and antioxidants in the early spring is really needed by the skin.
Move
One of the most effective detoxification procedures is lymphatic drainage massage. It activates the flow of lymph, and with it accelerates the cleansing of the skin cells from toxic degradation products and immunity. The skin receives more oxygen and get rid of edema, which leads to the stagnation of lymphatic fluid in the tissues. With the coming of each spring would be good to take a course of manual lymphatic drainage experts, but this massage can be learned and for independent home performance. His secret is a short, sliding pressure: first, on the lateral surfaces of the neck, then behind the ears, around the eyes (special attention to their inner corners), center brow, and finally, at the temples. Each pressure, which in the terminology of massage therapists called "surge", it is necessary to repeat three times with the pads of the thumb and forefinger. The body perceives this rhythm as the breath of the sea and remembers it: thanks to the lymphatic drainage calms emotions and has a cumulative effect. Gentle lymphatic vessels are shallow, so the surge can be quite easy.
Blood circulation can also be improved by massage, such as massage Jacques, a technique which is light pinching. Pinch the skin with the pads of your thumb and index finger as deeply as possible - but try not to move and not to pull. Do these vigorous and rapid pinching (as if you "burn" the skin) all over the face, concentrating on its contours. To perform this massage without the need of cream, for dry skin - so that the fingers do not slip. Olga Ganelina also recommends massage cervical-collar zone: this will help to normalize respiratory processes and to facilitate the access of oxygen to the face.
More ease!
All winter we are abundantly "fed" skin tight cream and regenerating masks - and in the spring time comes the small discharge. What skin is now appreciated that a light texture, which offer us the serum. They have concentrated formula and do not carry anything extra, don't overload the skin, does not allow its exchange processes "to be lazy". The serum can be used as monoreactive, nothing to it without adding, - no need for additional care only if the skin is not completely dry. Encouraging the skin to work independently, you can improve its natural protection and ease her breathing. And one evening per week (that night, because at night the skin is actively removes toxins) try not to use any means to care. And it will also be a step towards detoxification.
