As the idea of ​​natural results and self-care becomes more and more fashionable, people tend to invest in powerful skincare and seek preventative treatments, with more young patients entering doctors’ offices.

ADVANCED PROTECTION AGAINST BLUE LIGHT

Thanks to the pandemic, almost everything in our lives has gone digital. But while the harmful effects of blue light on the skin are no secret, companies are discovering more innovative ingredients that can help combat these effects. Electronic devices emit blue radiation, which covers a range of the spectrum that causes damage to skin and hair.

MASK PRODUCTS

Face masks tend to continue to be used even after a while of pandemic control, making your skin more vulnerable to irritation.

The appearance and worsening of acne are also a cause for concern in this period, since, in addition to drying out, masks can also clog pores. It is clear that the problem of acne has a multifactorial cause, but a good skincare routine and the use of the right products prevent the mask from being a trigger factor.

Start by cleansing your skin, which should be done with specific soaps for your skin type, that is, people with oily skin should opt for liquid soaps formulated with sebum-regulating active ingredients, while people with drier skin need to cleanse. cleaning with more moisturizing products.

But, regardless of skin type, the ideal at this time is to invest in the use of softer products and avoid using accentuated friction when cleaning the skin so as not to damage the tissue. After a short time, hydrate the skin, even if it is oily.

SKINIMALISM

After the pandemic, we realise that we don’t need as much. Less is more. The skin responds well to a specific treatment and not to a very large volume of random products applied without guidance.

The skin care method known as skip-care is a good option since it consists of using only three products that will keep your skin well cared for: a cleansing soap, a moisturising cream and a sunscreen (used in that order).

Attention to sun protection must be redoubled and reinforced with antioxidants such as Vitamin C, SuperOX-C, Alistin, and Exo-P, also enhanced by supplementation with active ingredients such as Exsynutriment, Glycoxil and Bio-Arct.

HEALTH OF THE MICROBIOME

Microbiota health has been a buzzword in the industry for years, but many people don’t know what to do.

Our skin has a microbiome, a ‘population’ of good bacteria that protect us against disease and other problems, such as dry and sensitive skin. The presence of these microorganisms maintains the skin’s pH in balance. But using soaps and cosmetics that reduce these bacteria too much can leave the skin unprotected and susceptible to skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis and acne.

Regarding inclusion in the skincare routine, we can incorporate prebiotics and probiotics that support a healthy microbiome. These ingredients can help maintain and balance the microbiome to help the skin recover faster from threatening ingredients.

We can use ingredients derived from fermentation, such as bacterial lysates and filtrates, which contain rich secondary metabolites that nourish the skin and microbiome. Avoid alcohol on your face. They’re often found in toners, and people with acne or oily skin love how they decrease their skin, but it comes at a tremendous cost. These drying alcohols damage the microbiome and, in turn, the skin barrier. They are often listed on labels as SD alcohol, denatured alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol.

On the other hand, moisturising alcohols, or fatty alcohols like cetyl, stearyl, and Cetearyl alcohol, are good for your skin. These alcohols are emollients, which means they keep the skin hydrated and supple.
