Leave your nails without nail Polish, and hair dye a week before the trip
Often vacation we are back with pigmentation and dull hair. How to avoid it, said Elena Solovyova is a dermatologist, and Tatiana Kobets — dermatologist-cosmetologist.
PROTECT YOUR LIPS
Lips have no sweat glands, so in the heat they can easily dry out and crack. To avoid this, follow a few rules. “Remove the lipstick and gloss is necessary a special tool for removing makeup, recommends Elena Solovieva. — You should not wipe his lips with a towel or coarse cloth. Once a week, try to use a fine peeling: this allows you to remove the dead tissue and thus applied nutritional tools can actively penetrate the skin and restore moisture balance. Choosing a lipstick or gloss, give preference to products with photoprotective factor of 10, 15, 20”.
But to smear the lip sunscreen is not necessary — enough to put it as close as possible to them, literally on the edge. “If you have oily or combination skin, I would not recommend the use of fat containing cosmetics due to excessive activation of the sebaceous glands, which can cause inflammation and rashes around the mouth. Better to give preference to moisturizing and anterolateral drugs”, recommends Tatiana Kobets.
When choosing accessories, be sure to study the composition. According to Elena Solovieva, the summer period is best suited tools, which include: Shea butter, avocado, coconut, jojoba, aloe, hyaluronic acid, natural beeswax, vitamin E. “It is absolutely natural ingredients that perfectly nourish the skin, relieve dryness and minor inflammation,” explains the dermatologist. But from products that contain petrolatum (petroleum product banned by the European Union in 2004), saccharin, paraffin, white wax, tocopherol, parabens, should be abandoned.
SKIN: MEANS OF ALCOHOL AND ACIDS
In the heat she especially needs our attention. “In these times very active sebaceous, sweat glands, and environmental situation and stress exacerbate the process. As a result we have numerous rashes, oily sheen or dry and a feeling of tightness, — says Elena Solovyov. — To avoid such “surprises”, I recommend every evening to thoroughly clean face skin, neck and decollete. But it is desirable to minimize the use of funds for alcohol-based, that dry the skin.” When choosing a day cream is the expert recommends to give preference to matte and moisturizing, and nourishing should be abandoned: because of its dense consistency and more oily foundations they can cause inflammation and Shine. It is recommended to apply creams with retinol, hydroquinone and various acids. Retinol (vitamin A) has a peeling effect, this increases the sensitivity of the skin to UV light. Hydroquinone reduces the production of pigment in the skin, acts on the deep layers, with the result that due to sunbathing may increase the risk of skin cancer. And the high acid content in the cream reduces the thickness of the stratum corneum of the skin and reduces the protective barrier, so such funds are suitable only for use in the autumn-winter period.
TAN IN 15 MINUTES.
Of course, in your cosmetic bag should be sunscreen. For city fit protection factor of 15-30, for a beach holiday — 30-50. Tatiana Kobets emphasizes the need to protect from the sun not only facial skin but entire body. “Tan is quite useful. To benefit from ultraviolet radiation (bactericidal effect plus stimulates the production of the hormone of joy — endorphin), it is enough 15 minutes — says the expert. — A reminder that vitamin D in adults under the action of ultraviolet light is not generated, so the benefits from staying in the sun is very questionable. It is also necessary to understand fair-skinned to tan at all desirable. And if you really want, take a sun bath in the morning and evening using sunscreen. And after swimming in the sea they should be applied again, even if the manufacturer has positioned them as waterproof.” Important information for those taking the hormones, antibiotics and other drugs: many of them can intensify melanogenis — the formation of melanin in skin cells, which can cause the appearance of pigmentation.
In summer special attention is paid to care for the skin on the feet: open-toed shoes, flip flops, lots of walking — everything can appear corns, cracked heels. To avoid this, apply to them a fat nutritious cream after thorough cleaning. Ideal ointment for diaper: it not only nourishes, but also has wound-healing effect.
HAIR LOSSLESS
They definitely need to protect from the sun, because the ultraviolet radiation dehydrates and destroys the pigment. As a result, dull color, loss. The best defense, according to Tatyana Kobets — the head piece. The expert also recommends the use of shampoos and sprays with SPF. “However, they are slightly gernaut hair. So if you have an oily scalp, I recommend to use simultaneously the means for its strong purification: menthol, salicylic acid. When you do this, be sure to apply hair conditioner: it protects from drying out,” she says.
Wash the head, according to Elena Solovieva, after each marine “bath”: “Salt water, penetrating the hair and destroys them from the inside, so don’t give her long for them to stay. After washing the head, apply hair conditioner and apply a mask. And try during this period to minimize use of the dryer, in order not to dry the hair. By the way, it is undesirable to paint a week before the trip: this is an additional over-drying, which makes the hair break, split ends”. For summer care choose shampoos comprising the chitosan (retains moisture, has anti-inflammatory effect, facilitates combing), vitamins E, F (stimulates growth, relieves irritation), tocopherol nicotinate (improves metabolic processes, activates the hair growth). Dangerous parabens when absorbed through the skin and are carcinogenic.
OPEN YOUR NAILS
Going on vacation, we try to paint the nails in all colors of the rainbow that was brighter and more cheerful. But in vain: it is better to leave them without coverage, because sea water is a powerful tool for strengthening the nail plate. A thick layer of varnish gives nutrients to get through to her. If you absolutely cannot do without varnish, Elena Solovyov advised to use a prophylactic with plant extracts and vitamins, to put it at least in one layer, not two or three, as we like. Plus, give your nails a break from the beauty at least a few days: don’t walk entire vacation under lacquer “armor”. And one more tip: be sure to treat cuticles oils are suitable for this purpose is olive, sesame) or with special means to care for her.
