If you've left the countryside to live in the city, you may have noticed: a city girl's skin doesn't react quite the same way as others.
Stress, pollution... have harmful effects on our skin. How can I help him defend himself?
1 We learn to recognize the harms of city lifeA scientific study unveiled in 2010 proved it: women who live in the city see their skin age 10% faster than those who live in the countryside. For what ? Because city life is made up of different elements that harm your health: UVA/UVB rays, pollution , artificial light from computer screens, air conditioning, etc. All these factors harm our skin, very often without us paying attention to it. |

2 We choose a suitable treatmentFaced with the harmful effects of city life , you need to know how to adapt your skincare routine, in particular by adopting a cream that will act as a shield . It must be equipped with active ingredients which help to strengthen the skin barrier, which slow down the action of free radicals, and finally protection against dehydration . Ideally, we opt for a featherweight texture, which penetrates quickly (city dwellers are always in a hurry!), and which leaves the skin very soft. |

3 At home, we treat ourselves to a care ritualRemoving makeup is obligatory in normal times, but in the city, it simply becomes essential . It is in fact necessary to cleanse the skin of impurities and pollution accumulated during the day. We preferably choose a gentle cleanser, so as not to attack the skin, to use daily, followed by a spritz of soothing spray , and a moisturizing cream. Once or twice a week, we take the ritual further, with the application of a purifying mask . |

4 We monitor our lifestyleLunch on the go, sodas consumed in quantity, not to mention coffee and evenings that are a little too drunk: city life is often accompanied by a lifestyle that could be healthier . To maintain beautiful skin , we adopt a few good reflexes: drink plenty of water (one and a half liters per day, minimum), have a balanced diet, do a minimum of sport... All while having a light hand on the skin if possible. coffee, alcohol and quitting smoking. |

5 We relaxWhat does this have to do with beauty? Well… Everything! Stress has a considerable impact on our beauty capital , and is visible on our face. Drawn features, gray complexion, dark circles: so many factors that we could do without. The ideal? Take the time to breathe, and don't forget to take care of yourself. A pampering session in the bathroom, a few minutes of meditation, a little yoga… |
