FEED your skin the nutrition it needs from the inside as well! First of the skin beautifying foods. Pumpkin seeds are another seed with a powerful skin-beautifying effect, pumpkin seeds get their power from both the beauty mineral, zinc, and essential fatty acids including omega 3, omega 6, and omega 9. Like hemp seeds, they help reduce inflammation in the body. Try them sprinkled on salads, in smoothies, or simply by the handful.
Do you feel that your skin will need more protection during Fall? You're right, since as the days get colder our skin care routine should adopt some complementary treatments to protect it. The following tips should be easily embedded in your daily care especially if you feel the signs of the transition. Learn more on how to prevent damages by talking with your Skin Care Professional or checking back here for more tips to help you "Fall Into Healthy Skin". There are some basic guidelines that you can follow to autumn-proof your skin care. It is a well-known fact that summer already left some signs on your skin. Whether you managed to protect your pores from the damaging effects of the sun, there's still need for a quick and thorough revitalization. Prevent Dry Skin The cold weather can easily dry out our skin. Minimizing its resistance to deteriorating effect, our complexion can dehydrate and feel tighter. Besides increasing the water consumption it is necessary to use facial products that add hydration directly into to skin- Example (Hydrosols, Aqua Boosts, Hydrating Toners etc..). As washing your face rather with tepid or cold and never with hot water. This will close the pores effectively keeping the dirt from penetrating into the skin. Facials can do miracles with your complexion. Choose ones that are meant to fight dehydration and dullness. These will refresh and properly moisturize the skin to an extent that it will be able to fight the harmful effects. Make sure that the exfoliators either homemade or chemical contain ingredients as AHA's, Retinols and Glucosamine. There is a lot of misinformation out there about acne and breakout---- some have been out there for ages. But there are some seemingly harmless everyday items that just might be undermining your complexion, especially in the Summer. 1. Your sunglasses. Yes! I was shocked, too! But you'd be surprised by how much bacteria can grow on your sunglasses and your regular prescription glasses. Please start thinking twice about tossing your sunglasses in your bag or on top of any restaurant table. Fortunately, you can debug your shades by washing them with antibacterial hand soap and water every few days. 2. Your cell phone. Your cell phone can be "Technological petri dishes". Phones pick up more bacteria than almost anything else, it is recommended to clean yours with an antibacterial wipe, like one from Lysol, before each use (though once a day may be more realistic). 3. Your makeup brushes. They're "reservoirs for bacteria". To disinfect them, spritz them with an antibacterial cleanser like once a week. Your skin will thank you.
