Our skin perceives all temperature variations and has to adapt to them. That is why it is so important to take care of it.
The saying goes “spring alters the blood” and never better said. This season of the year is characterized by being somewhat peculiar, like one day it is sunny and the next it rains and it is windy. Our skin perceives all these variations and just like us, it has to adapt to them. That is why it is so important to take care of it.
New seasons and new beauty routines. These are the steps you should follow to keep your skin hydrated and healthy for the summer.
- Exfoliation. Exfoliating your face once or twice a week will help keep your skin clean and free of impurities.
- Cleaning. As in the rest of the seasons of the year, cleanse your face daily to preserve skin hydration.
- Hydration. It is important that when choosing the creams and serums with which to treat the skin in spring, the texture of the skin is taken into account. It is best to choose a cream with a light texture with moisturizing active ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and different plant extracts. In addition, it is important that the cream also contains antioxidants to protect the skin from the effects of pollution, especially in the big city.
- Solar protection. Although it is important throughout the year, with the increase in temperatures even more so. Going out on the terraces, taking walks, and traveling to the beach, at this time of year, the skin is much more exposed to the sun’s rays, so it is convenient to use photoprotective creams to protect and prepare the skin from burns.
Another fundamental aspect to keep our skin healthy and hydrated is maintaining a good diet. The consumption of fruits and vegetables provides the body with vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. Consuming between 2 and 3 pieces of vegetables a day helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles on the skin. Thanks to a large number of flavonoids it contains, dark chocolate helps keep the skin hydrated. If, on the other hand, your problem is acne, then fruits such as melon or mango will help reduce the appearance of pimples and blackheads. In addition, it is important not to abuse foods with a high sugar content such as sweets.
SPORTS FOR THE SKIN
It has been shown that doing physical exercise brings us multiple benefits, it keeps us relaxed, gives us energy, strengthens the immune system, and also helps keep the skin more hydrated and perfect. On the one hand, sport stimulates blood circulation and this causes it to receive more nutrients and oxygen with this, we improve the color of the skin and give it more shine. In addition, when doing sports we sweat, especially in the hottest seasons of the year, which is beneficial for our health since it helps to remove dirt from the skin and prevent acne and blackheads. On a more physical level, playing sports helps reduce the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks and to improve the flaccidity of the skin.
