As the warm season approaches, our skin's needs change.

Cleaning, exfoliation, hydration and protection from external factors, through the help of organic cosmetic products, they help us take care of the face and body and avoid unpleasant damage to the skin.

It is now known that environmental factors are one of the main causes of the formation of free radicals, which cause skin changes at the cellular level. External agents, in fact, increase the oxidative stress, which is responsible for thepremature aging of the skin. This oxidative stress, in turn, causes the loss of trace elements and vitamins, helping to atrophy the skin and trigger other needs as the skin's "self-repair" mechanisms are slowed down.

To reduce these negative effects of free radicals as much as possible – and consequently of oxidative stress – it is advisable to start taking care of the skin of the face and body as early as spring, using specific organic cosmetic products that prepare the skin for the longed-for summer.

Therefore, it is convenient introduce some changes to the beauty routine… Let's see them!

CLEANSING

This time of year we need to put more emphasis on cleansing.

It is undoubtedly the beauty routine step that allows you to achieve younger, brighter and more beautiful skin. Performing a complete cleansing with organic cosmetic products helps rebalance sebum and hydration levels, and facilitate the elimination of all harmful substances.

In this sense Il Mare Addosso – Pioggia D'estate by Volga Cosmetici presents itself as a perfect ally for the daily cleansing of the face and body, since, in addition to deeply cleansing the skin, it emollient, elasticising, antioxidant and regenerating properties. With this product we enter the modern concept of restorative cleansing: while you wash your skin, you give it back the substances it needs to regenerate.

In addition to daily cleansing, it is advisable to apply it once or twice a week a mask that helps detoxify and purify the skin deep. Eterea's Precious Lift & Light Gold Mask is formulated with Red Vine stem cells that help fight oxidative stress induced by solar radiation and environmental agents. And at the same time, it exploits the extraordinary beneficial properties of 24K Gold which enhances the regenerative action of the skin, sublimates the luminosity and vitality of the face and prevents ageing.

EXFOLIATION

Exfoliation allows, in addition to eliminating dead cells and obtaining regenerated, brighter and healthier skin, to take a first step to prepare the skin for sun exposure. For this, it is recommended to use a delicate organic cosmetic such as the 3 In 1 Face And Body Exfoliating Scruberry by Parentesi Bio, which respects the skin's cutaneous barrier.

On normal skin, the treatment can be performed 1/2 times a week. On sensitive skin once a week, preferably in the evening. While, for a shock action, apply SCRUBerry every other day for 7/10 days, preferably in the evening.

SKIN HYDRATION

As temperatures rise, skin naturally tends to become oilier. 

This overproduction of natural oils not only clogs pores, but also tends to cause blemishes and give the face that unsightly shine. However, this does not mean that we should no longer use moisturizing products, because the skin always needs hydration, but rather that we should opt for organic cosmetics with a light texture that help maintain hydration and, thanks to their active ingredients, they act as effective antioxidants, promoting the reduction of blemishes.

All this can be achieved by combining the Alma Briosa antioxidant moisturizer with regenerating and repairing properties and the Vitamin C anti-aging booster serum from the Novaexpert line which revitalizes and brightens the skin providing a protective effect against oxidative stress.

Furthermore, let's not forget to take care of the most sensitive skin area of the face: the eye contour.  Pollen, air pollution, and increased amounts of sunlight can cause puffiness and bags to appear. The use of an organic cosmetic such as the Gyada Cosmetics eye cream mask, which contains vegetable collagen, caffeine and extracts of Ivy and Dandelion, helps to hydrate the skin for a more rested and luminous appearance.

Nature allows us to heal, regenerate and protect the skin thanks to amount of natural active ingredients contained in organic cosmetics

And if we want to take care of the skin even more effectively in the spring, in addition to using organic cosmetics, we must take additional measures such as:

Food rich in antioxidants: the sun releases free radicals, which accelerate skin aging due to the fragmentation of collagen in the dermis. Eating foods rich in antioxidants and following a diet rich in vitamins C and E will help us strengthen the skin's defenses.

Hydration: If water is essential all year round, it is even more so in spring and summer. This will not only help us take care of our body but will also allow us to hydrate our skin from within.

Physical activity: The beautiful spring weather helps us to practice outdoor sports. It is convenient to carry out physical activity since toxins are eliminated through sweat.

So, it's time to start taking care of your skin right away, following this targeted beauty routine, so you can show off healthier and more beautiful skin as soon as possible.
