Every year, it's the same story: in spring, our skin tends to let a few imperfections rear their ugly heads. Change in temperatures, unsuitable skincare routines, pollution or junk food... We explain to you why this time of year is pivotal for our skin. To your notebooks!
THE TRANSITION FROM WINTER TO SPRING: A DIFFICULT TRANSITION
In March, temperatures slowly but surely begin to cool. We go from negative to positive and the mercury can sometimes even display up to 15,16,17 or 18 degrees on the hottest days. Changes that send contradictory signals to our skin who had become accustomed to protecting themselves against the cold. Became chilly, thicker, duller , over-active its natural mechanisms from the arrival of the first rays to begin its molt.
To do this, it produces a greater quantity of sebum and drains all the toxins, dead cells and pollution accumulated during the winter . Which makes the skin texture less smooth and leads to the appearance of spots or microcysts . Don't panic, this process doesn't last. In general, it only takes a few weeks for the skin to get used to this change. Patience, patience!
THE CARE ROUTINE : A RITUAL THAT MUST ADAPT TO THE SEASONSDuring winter, the skin dries out, feels tight, loses its radiance and ends up becoming thicker to protect itself . Result ? We seek to relieve her by applying rich treatments, which provide her with the dose of comfort she needs. When the gray starts to give way to the first rays of the sun and the temperatures begin to rise, it often takes us a few weeks to realize that it is high time to change our beauty routine . Bye-bye to overly oily creams which overload the epidermis, and hello to light treatments which hydrate without suffocating and give radiance . TARTIFLETTE, FONDUE… BE CAREFUL OF THE JUNK FOOD!As Hippocrates said: “We are what we eat”. And let's face it, our nutritional balance has been slightly altered by our winter gluttony . So after spending the last 4 months eating tartiflette, fondue or baked Camembert to satisfy our enormous appetite, our skin is not in good shape once spring comes. Pimples, redness, eczema … In general, these small annoyances appear when the kidneys and intestines struggle to eliminate the toxins accumulated by the body. We therefore generally need a few weeks of dietary rebalancing (based on carrots for beta carotene, oranges, artichokes, broccoli, salmon and avocados for example). Once this stage is completed, the skin regains its radiance, its texture is smoothed and small imperfections slowly but surely begin to calm down and eventually disappear completely. Magic ? No, just scientific! |

OUR 3 ANTI-IMPERFECTION MUST-HAVES

1 A purifying micellar waterIn spring, with the sweating process intensifying, it is important to focus our attention on cleansing so that dead cells do not prevent the body from doing its job properly. Whether to wake up our skin in the morning or remove makeup in the evening, opt for a micellar water that respects the hydrolipidic barrier. We choose it instead with Zinc or Copper , benchmark purifying active ingredients, to reduce imperfections and leave room for a fresh complexion. |
