What Treatments For Dryness And Dullness Of The Skin Can Be Done In The Summer?

“It is generally believed that summer is not the right time for beauty treatments, but my skin is very dry and dull: something needs to be done. Home care just doesn't help. Tell me what is the best way for me to proceed? What procedures to choose?"

Expert's answer:

How do you know if your skin is really experiencing a critical lack of hydration? To do this, just look in the mirror. The face becomes pale and dull. Smoothness and silkiness disappear, the skin becomes dry and rough, its sensitivity increases. The problems associated with dull skin include enlarged pores, spider veins, circles under the eyes, acne, and pigmentation.

The reasons for this phenomenon can be very different: from bad habits to the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation and circulatory disorders. To achieve a noticeable improvement in the quality of fabrics, you need to start with well-chosen home care. The composition of funds aimed at combating "drought" and a dull complexion, as a rule, includes a whole complex of substances: vitamin C, retinoids in low concentration, fruit acids, antioxidants … But I especially want to say about the so-called "hydrofixers" - hyaluronic acid, amino acids, minerals, algae extracts (carrageenan or laminarin). Their mechanism of action is based on hydrophilicity - this is when a substance attracts water to itself and retains it in the epidermis (for example, one molecule of hyaluronic acid holds up to 1000 water molecules).

In addition to good home care, you need the help of a specialist, a cosmetologist. Each person is individual and the doctor's recommendations depend on the condition and age of a particular patient. Nevertheless, I can give some general advice. To solve the problem of dull, dehydrated skin, I recommend undergoing a course of chemical peeling, due to which the natural protective functions of the body are activated, the active production of hyaluronic acid begins, the cells begin to produce a large amount of collagen and elastin, the skin surface becomes more elastic and taut. As a rule, chemical peeling is recommended to be carried out in autumn or winter, but in the arsenal of the "Clinic of Academic Cosmetology" there is, for example, chemical peeling PRX-t33 … This is an innovative program for deep and delicate cleansing and even tissue renewal. Thanks to its formula, peeling does not destroy the upper layers of the skin, preserving living cells of the epidermis and removing dead ones, so it can be carried out in the summer. There is no rehabilitation period after such a peel, which allows the patient to plunge into her business immediately after leaving the clinic.

In addition, it will be useful to undergo a course of mesotherapy for a complete restoration of the skin. Hyaluronic acid-based cocktails stimulate metabolic processes in tissues, fight dehydration and provide noticeable facial rejuvenation. Collagen and elastin make the skin firm and elastic, strengthening the oval. An impressive skin rejuvenation effect can be achieved using plant extracts, organic acids, vitamins, amino acids and peptides. Mesotherapy is remarkable for its complex effect: complementing each other, the components of the cocktail smooth wrinkles, provide face lifting and skin freshness.

The course of chemical peeling and mesotherapy is individual for each patient, but on average, you need to carry out 4 to 6 chemical peeling procedures with an interval of 7-10 days, and in a week you can start a course of mesotherapy, which includes 5 to 10 procedures with an interval of one week. …
