What are the effects of retinol serum?
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative, often found in anti-aging skincare products. In fact, it is an active ingredient that helps in the production of collagen, thus reducing wrinkles and signs of aging.
However, this ingredient should be used with caution because it can be aggressive to the skin. Initially, it is recommended to use it 1 to 2 times a week. It is also best to apply it in the evening and put on sunscreen in the morning.
Can we get rid of stretch marks permanently?
Around 90% of women have stretch marks. The cause ? When the skin is stretched too roughly, the elastic fibers break. This can happen in the case of significant weight gain, for example. They can be of several colors: red or purplish for the most recent ones and white for the oldest ones.
How to make them disappear? When they are red or purple, they can be laser removed by a doctor. The white ones, for their part, are more complex to eliminate. However, there are treatments such as laser or radio frequency, these methods do not guarantee a perfect and lasting result. The most effective is to adopt preventive measures by applying a moisturizing cream every day to your body, especially during pregnancy.
When to use a facial cleanser?
For those who wear makeup, this step comes after that of removing makeup. The goal ? Remove all impurities that the makeup remover has not yet eliminated.
Regarding the frequency of use, the facial cleanser can be applied 1 or 2 times a day, especially for those who have oily skin. For dry and sensitive skin, it is preferable to use it only in the evening and to opt instead for floral water in the morning.
Visible pores are unsightly and often signs of skin problems. Indeed, enlarged pores generally contain a lot of impurities.
The solutions to combat this? First of all, it is important to gently cleanse your skin daily. In addition, doing a gentle exfoliation 1 to 2 times a week helps to deeply unclog pores, reduce excess sebum and keep skin soft. Hydrate properly by drinking 1.5 to 2L of water per day and use cosmetic products based on hyaluronic acid. Protect yourself from the sun with sunscreen and avoid hiding your pores with makeup as much as possible. Finally, it is recommended to use clay masks from time to time in order to purify the skin and reduce excess sebum.
Tea tree essential oil has an antibacterial role. It is known for treating blemished skin, clearing spots, reducing scars and soothing itching. It is “THE” essential product for acne-prone skin. Be careful, as it is a very concentrated essential oil, it is important to dilute it with a cream to avoid damaging your skin.
