How to restore the skin after summer sun

Как восстановить кожу после летнего загараThe skin needs rest and recovery.

The skin is dull, there are spots, enlarged pores and skin like there’s not enough moisture. What happened and what to do.

Blame it on the sun

If the beginning of autumn you find that your skin became more dry than usual, was peeling, you find new spots or inflammation, the skin has ceased to be elastic and the pores are enlarged — a sure sign of photodamage.

Affecting the skin, the ultraviolet rays trigger the oxidation process and cause the release of free radicals (oxidant), which damage healthy cells. Devastating effect turns out to be one of the most important proteins for our skin — collagen. This “building material” for skin “the frame”, he is responsible for the elasticity and smoothness of the skin. Under the influence of solar radiation, the molecules of collagen are destroyed, this leads to the formation of wrinkles, sagging and roughness on the surface of the skin.

Free radicals not only affect the appearance. For example, once incorporated in the DNA molecule, they cause mutation of cells that can serve as an impetus for the development of cancer cells. That is why it is so important to protect from UV radiation and neutralizing free radicals.

Today, manufacturers produce creams, serums, sticks, sprays and even a lipstick with SPF protection from UV rays. Choose a convenient format, but give preference to vehicles with an index of 20 or higher and the content of antioxidants included vitamins a, C, E, extract of tomatoes, green tea, grapes. The activity of the oxidative process can be affected using products containing hyaluronic acid.

The ability to attract and retain moisture makes hyaluronic acid a powerful moisturizer. The cells themselves produce it, but to 30 years the amount of produced hyaluronic acid begins to decline.

Every year the body synthesizes it less and less, although this substance — the main component of the extracellular matrix. Hyaluronic acid not only moisturizes the skin but also protects it from free radicals.

Biorevitalization is the revitalization

This injection procedure, they are drugs based on hyaluronic acid. Part of the preparations for biorevitalisation included non-stabilized hyaluronic acid, often supplemented with amino acids. These drugs fairly quickly (2-3 days) “spent” skin, give her nutrition and hydration.

At the heart of preparations for revitalization — also hyaluronic acid, but is stable, this allows the drug to remain in the tissues for several months and to maintain the required moisture level.

I am often asked whether skincare with hyaluronic acid to replace injections? The answer is no. Creams and serums with the content of this component remain in the stratum corneum of the skin. The molecule of hyaluronic acid is large and can not penetrate into the deeper layers of the dermis, where in fact it comes the action. These drugs are good to strengthen and prolong the effect, but to replace the main procedure can’t.

Chemical peels

This is another good autumn procedure. Peeling do only in the cabin, preparations with fruit acids in different concentrations or with other active ingredients (e.g. retinol).

Chemical peeling can be superficial, middle or deep. As clear from the name, is a superficial peel acts only on the upper Horny layer of the skin making it smooth, radiant and lightening dark spots.

To influence the deeper layers of the applied medium and deep peels, they make the skin supple and taut.

Home with daily care, you can use products with fruit acids in small concentrations. These creams, serums and masks gradually and very gently exfoliate the upper layers of the skin and make it radiant and fresh.

What the body needs
There is also an important moisturizing treatments and exfoliation of the Horny layer. To apply body peeling with abrasive particles and plant enzymes smooth the skin and prepare it for further treatments.

The SPA area offers rejuvenating and hydrating body wraps and masks. Additionally, for problematic areas, I recommend a course biorevitalisation and revitalization in the neck, décolleté and abdomen.

Don’t forget
The beauty of the skin depends on the lifestyle. Therefore, even on the beach try to avoid direct sunlight. Tan will stay with you for a few months, and the damage the sun will cause Your body and beauty, forever.

Drink green tea is a natural antioxidant, drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day, don’t forget about fresh fruits and vegetables, limit salty, fatty, fried and smoked. And be sure to remove cosmetics before bed.
