Tired, dull and matte skin can be due to different causes. Factors such as bad habits (smoking, drinking…) living in areas exposed to pollution, suffering periods of stress that affect the skin or even using the wrong cosmetics have an influence. And it is that the relationship between the number of cosmetic ingredients (or active ingredients ) that we use (and their frequency) and the quality of the skin is very close.
Today, there are all kinds of plant and natural ingredients that can provide a multitude of benefits to our bodies. On many occasions, we are not aware of this and resort to formulas and chemical cosmetics that we believe are more effective when the real secret to achieving healthy, radiant and firm skin lies in nature. Today we tell you about some of the ingredients that can be effective to get your skin revitalised.
When it comes to training skin and ensuring that it has the right luminosity and hydration, it is necessary to carry out treatments with ingredients, which involve epidermal renewal, cell and tissue reactivation and inhibition of melanin synthesis.
What to use in the daytime beauty routine?
To stimulate the natural luminosity of the skin, it is necessary to read the following ingredients on the labels of the skincare products that we use in our daily routine:
Epidermis renovators such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) in low concentrations, for example glycolic, lactic, malic, mandelic, lactic acids; and Beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) such as salicylic acid in case of acne breakouts and/or oily skin. Thanks to them, dead cells are removed from the epidermis. Regenerators such as ceramides and vegetable oils (jojoba, argan, mosqueta, calendula…)
What to use in the night routine?
Renewals of the epidermis on alternate nights. For example, encapsulated retinol does not irritate or redden and helps reduce pore size and excess oil. “It is an ideal ingredient for oily and combination skin, with or without blemishes, but it is not recommended in the case of acne breakouts or sensitive skin. Depigmenting agents such as Kojic acid, Tartaric acid, Arbutin, and Resorcinol can also be used.
Topical antioxidant preventives such as Backuchiol, ferulic acid, 10-15% vitamin C and vitamin E and moisturizers such as hyaluronic acid are known for their effective results.
Experts also recommend never forgetting sunscreen. Physical, chemical or biological sunscreens should be applied as the penultimate step (before makeup) if you are going to be outside for more than 30 minutes to protect the skin properly. Don’t skip it!
