Cosmetics for body, hands and feet

Like the skin of the face, the skin of the body has its own characteristics: on the back it is almost always oily, on the stomach it quickly loses its tone, and on the legs and ankles it suffers from dryness.

DRY AND DEHEATED SKIN

First of all, it is worth separating the concepts of "dryness" and "dehydration".

Dryness is a permanent property of the skin, its type. Dry skin lacks, first of all, nutrition, which will compensate for the lack of its own lipids.

Dehydration is a temporary skin condition. Dehydrated skin needs hydration.

Any type of skin can be dehydrated. At the same time, dryness increases in normal, dry becomes dull and flakes, and oily begins to shine even more (to compensate for the lack of moisture, the sebaceous glands secrete more sebum).

OILY AND PROBLEM SKIN

Caring for oily and problem skin begins with exfoliation. A body scrub or gummage will help remove dead cells and prevent blockages of the sebaceous glands. Just do not use them during inflammation, so as not to aggravate the situation!

For cleansing, it is better to use not soap (it is known to dry out the skin), but an oil-free shower gel.

Remember to moisturize your skin, but use an oil-free product with a light melting texture.

Be sure to include cosmetics with anti-inflammatory and mattifying ingredients in your beauty ritual for body care: white clay, salicylic acid, zinc.

SENSITIVE SKIN

Sensitive is the skin that reacts sharply to external and internal factors. She easily blushes and gets irritated, flakes, suffers from a feeling of tightness after bathing and is extremely picky about the composition of body care cosmetics: it must be hypoallergenic, without fragrances and parabens.

For delicate exfoliation, products with fruit acids are suitable (abrasive particles can damage sensitive skin), and for moisturizing and nourishment - products with soothing ingredients. For example, aloe or allantoin.

NORMAL SKIN

Do you have normal skin? Congratulations, you hit the jackpot! To care for her, it is enough to follow the rules of hygiene and do not forget about regular moisturizing and gentle exfoliation 1-2 times a week.
