There is more to skin than we realize. We expose our skin to conditions that affect us both internally and externally, 24 hours a day. In fact, the skin surrounds and protects our bodies and even reflects our inner feelings.

The skin is the largest organ of the human body. It regulates body temperature and protects us at all times. External risks to the skin include tobacco, alcohol, and sunlight. Other important factors include cold, heat, and humidity. Finally, we must not forget genetic predisposition and the natural aging process.

It is probably not possible to completely reduce stressful situations for the skin. However, with proper care, the skin can be empowered and kept fresh longer.

Specific things you can do

First, know your skin type. If you are not sure yourself, an experienced beautician will be able to advise you, or you can ask for a skin assessment at a pharmacy. From there, choose the right products for your skin condition. At the same time, remember that skin needs change with the seasons and age.

Another important thing. Remember to always remove your makeup, even if you come home at 3 am. By doing so, your skin will reward you greatly. Otherwise, you may wake up with a dull complexion filled with toxins that you were unable to excrete overnight.

Tip: Don\’t use towels that irritate your skin

Once a week, remove dead skin cells. Exfoliation brightens the face and reduces the appearance of pores. At night, use nourishing creams and serums sparingly. This is because cell regeneration takes place primarily overnight.

Tip: Wash makeup brushes and sponges regularly. Warm soapy water is sufficient. Then gently wipe them dry and leave them to dry. If you forget to do this, bacteria will begin to grow inside the sponge, and you are only a step away from a breakout from there

Ageing skin is also greatly affected by sunlight. Especially in the summer, use a good quality sunscreen and protect your eyes with sunglasses.

Other helpful tips for beautiful, healthy skin:

• Facial massage
• Use eye cream regularly
• Get enough sleep (at least 7 hours)
• Fruits and vegetables and a balanced and varied diet with lots of fruits and vegetables
• Eliminate stressful situations
• Go outdoors
