Magomedova Patimat, dermatocosmetologist, plastic surgeon:
Every woman should know this so that summer doesn’t add extra years.
According to statistics, only 8% of Russians truly love winter. Winter is a difficult time for the soul and body. And for facial skin. But finally the happy season has come - the long-awaited summer. Even tan, sea water, gentle wind, warmth. Grace!
And this is where a trap awaits women. In fact, summer is a critical time for maintaining youth.
Firstly, most of the time we are in the office, at the computer, where the air conditioner is constantly on. The air in such a room is dry.
Secondly, there is hot, dry air outside, filled with dust and exhaust fumes from cars.
Thirdly, solar radiation is a severe factor affecting the skin.
Scientists have proven that ultraviolet radiation destroys elastin and leads to sagging and the appearance of wrinkles.
Remember : skin ages several times faster in summer than in winter!
Let's add to this the habit of not wearing sunglasses and constantly squinting in the light.
Fourthly, in the heat the work of the sweat and sebaceous glands increases. The skin becomes dirty faster and becomes oily.
To cope with these problems, let us recall 4 areas of care:
- Protection
- Cleansing
- Hydration
- Nutrition
Please note that cosmetics in the summer should be as light in texture as possible. Oils, glycerin, urea are useful in winter, and in summer, antioxidants and moisturizing substances are preferred.
It is advisable to reduce makeup to a minimum. In the heat, decorative cosmetics clog pores and prevent the skin from breathing.
