YOUR BABY'S SKINCARE: what to do and what to avoid
Fundamental rules for skin that always looks young
6 and no more than 6. Regularly using natural cosmetic products that deeply hydrate and nourish our skin is certainly an excellent start. Drinking plenty of water and leading a healthy lifestyle will help your smile bloom again.
Take a deep breath. When breathing, we use only 60% of our lung capacity. Pranayama teaches how to improve it: "Counting to three, inhale by expanding the abdomen first, then the chest, collarbones, and shoulders. Hold your breath for a count of 12 and, finally, exhale for a count of 6. Repeated seven times every day, this technique ensures the reoxygenation of the skin's cells.
Walk 30 minutes a day. It is the best exercise not only for your figure but also for your skin, which is reoxygenated and regains its glow. However, avoid running in adverse weather conditions (sun, cold, wind): excessive physical exertion increases the production of free radicals.
Use a night cream with extra virgin olive oil. There is nothing better than oil to nourish the skin. Extra virgin olive oil has nourishing, toning, and elasticizing properties; furthermore, it improves radiance and increases the epidermis's resistance to free radical attacks.
Exfoliate your skin once a week. Over time, pores dilate and the skin loses tone, especially if obstructed by sebum or makeup residue. To prevent this, it is necessary to use an exfoliating face scrub with sponges capable of removing excess dead cells. The complexion will be visibly smoother and brighter.
Forget junk food. Foods rich in sugars increase the glycation phenomenon, which destroys collagen and elastin, essential for toned and elastic skin. The list of foods to avoid is well-known to everyone. First and foremost, french fries, but also mini pizzas, focaccia, burgers, and snacks.
Practice mental botox. Take 5 minutes for your beauty every day. Create an environment free of noise, close your eyes, visualize all your facial muscles, and imagine relaxing them one after another, until you feel them completely relaxed.
