Self care after the summer season

The season of holidays is behind, and how difficult it is to return to the usual rhythm of life! Sunny days, sleepless nights, sea voyages and resort adventures could leave not only a pleasant nostalgia, but also a serious impact on the condition of the skin and hair. And the prospect of a long wait for the next vacation can undermine the morale of even the most convinced optimists. Let's talk about how to survive the post-stroke syndrome and to meet the autumn fully armed.


No matter how passed this summer - in a noisy smoky metropolis with a few trips outside the city or in the planned travels - the result is one: the season has come to an end. The last hope to prolong the warm days disappears with the first rains and the change of light ballet in the weather-appropriate moccasins and ankle boots. But there is no time to indulge in the autumn depression - it's time to start an express program for restoring mental and physical health. The main thing is to outline an effective reset strategy, and the seasonal change will take place in pleasant hassle and preparation for the velvet season.

Scale of losses
Even if after a long-awaited vacation you feel rested and full of energy, your skin most likely needs urgent and intensive rehabilitation. Already many times repeated to the world: sunburn, of course, transforms any woman, but the consequences of taking long sunbathing are very deplorable. The fact that the chocolate shade after a while dull, the skin will begin to peel off, and even completely covered with unaesthetic stains, is known to everyone. But many forget about the more frightening perspective - the effect of photoaging. Alas, even the most powerful Sanskrit and the best SPF-protectors are not able to fully cope with the aggressive sun exposure. UV rays have a harmful effect on the cells of the epidermis, and as a result, together with sunburn, we get a whole complex of problems that need to be dealt with promptly.

The most important point - in time to fill the balance of moisture in the epidermis. Dehydrated skin tends to form a fine mesh of wrinkles, and to cope with them is sometimes more difficult than with deep-lying ones. To help come intensively moisturizing cream and nourishing masks based on hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. Eliminate from your daily beauty ritual funds on alcohol and alkaline basis. Instead of hard gels for cleansing, use gentle light foams and tender milk, replace aggressive antibacterial lotions with soft tonics on herbs and micellar water.

Do not forget that the main rule of effective balance recovery is a sufficient amount of liquid. The classic advice about two liters of water a day has not lost its relevance - it will save the over-dried skin. Also, do not abandon the mandatory summer beauty accessory - a bottle of thermal water. Remember that you only need to spray it on a completely cleaned face and almost immediately, after five to seven seconds, wipe the excess with a napkin. If you do not comply with these simple rules, you risk acquiring micro-inflammation, clogged pores and in addition, even more dry the skin (thermal water evaporates from the surface of the face, taking the remains of precious moisture).

In caring for a person, do not forget about the body. In the velvet season it is worth entering with silky skin, so always once a week use body peels and scrubs. They will not wipe your tan, but bring it to mind, eliminating small irregularities and shortcomings. An alternative can be exfoliation for the shower - traditional gels, which are added fragrant exfoliating microparticles. As a nutritious lotion, try using natural plant ingredients, the ideal option for tanned skin will be: coconut oil, avocado and shea. By the way, with the latter it's better not to experiment with those who are not by hearsay acquainted with irritations and eruptions.

Polishing bronze
The most recovered skin is ready for a beauty reboot, and the main task now is to bring the resulting effect to perfection. If you did everything correctly and the desired bronze shade is the result of a moderate sun exposure and the competent use of creams with SPF factors, it is important to take care of securing the sunburn. And this means that we will have to postpone for a while with the fruit acids, despite their excellent rejuvenating properties. After all, creams and peels based on ANA gradually remove the upper layer of the epidermis and actively update it - alas, such a useful rebirth will completely erase an attractive tan from your face.

However, those who are not afraid of becoming Snow White again, acids will become reliable and faithful assistants. Autumn is the traditional time of the return of the asid products, because the sun is not so active and does not threaten with hyperpigmentation. By the way, about pigment spots: if it so happened that the summer holiday left not only exciting memories, but also some undesirable darkening on the face, it is necessary to get rid of them with the help of serums and concentrates on the basis of glycolic or ascorbic acid as soon as possible.

Solar batteries
Suppressing the autumn depression is necessary in a short time, because a painful parting with a hot season affects not only our appearance, but also the psychological state. And it, in turn, affects the health of the skin, hair and nails. The days become shorter, there is less light, and it seems that there is an endless series of gloomy days and everyday worries ahead. But to arrange a continuation of the summer is much easier than it seems, and for this it is not necessary to have a time machine.

Create a sunny mood will help the right flavors. The orange essential oil added to the bath, the aroma lamp or the back of the pillow, will give vigor and charge positive energy, lavender oil will provide peace of mind, and ylang-ylang oil will balance feelings and emotions. Remember the "summer" smells, choosing shower gels and lotions for the body. The sharp and light notes of citrus fruits throughout the day will create the feeling that there is a sultry July afternoon instead of the September landscape.

Autumn melancholy with ease will dispel also seasonal beauty trends, gradually replacing summer tendencies. Traditionally, the force is gaining color: experiment with a bright lipstick of Bordeaux and cherry tones, with rich blushes of brick and coral shades, decide to create smoky eyes based on the current gray-green palette. Complete the transformation of the new autumn perfume.

If all three warm months you spent in the metropolis, arrange a mini-vacation outside the city or in the SPA-salon. Just a few days in nature or a few hours in the hands of skilled craftsmen are able to reload you, relieve fatigue and bring to life. Summer will last as long as you wish!
