The modern lifestyle with unhealthy diet, stress and a complete lack of a daily regimen affects the skin. We get tired, the skin gets tired with us, and the marks on our face betray our age. In addition, daily makeup is also a big burden on the skin, and the New Year's holidays may not affect its condition in the best way. There is an accumulation of toxins and excess fluid ─ the level of general slagging of the body increases. Larisa Eletskaya, Lancôme Skin Care Expert, explains how you can reduce the negative effects of the environment and lifestyle on your skin with the right detox program.
Skin detox is the elimination of toxins and waste products from skin cells. These harmful substances accumulate in the skin cells, disrupting their work. As a result, metabolic processes in the skin slow down, fluid stagnation, swelling and dark circles under the eyes, dullness, a network of wrinkles and rashes appear. With the right care program, as well as by removing the horny cells from the surface layers, you can quickly restore the skin to its freshness and healthy color.
Detox program:
Cleansing
Any skin care program starts with cleansing. Use cleansing gels, mousses, foams daily based on your skin type and condition.
Exfoliation
1-2 times a week, depending on the type and condition of the skin, use exfoliants to remove horny cells from the surface of the skin and prevent the formation of comedones. After exfoliation, apply a clay-based cleansing mask for 5-7 minutes to deeply cleanse the pores.
Recovery
After a thorough cleansing, use express products to quickly restore the skin - the effect of the spa salon is guaranteed to you.
Night care and peeling
In order to maintain a healthy complexion and improve cell metabolism, a course of night-action peels should be included in the daily care program to maintain a healthy complexion and improve cell metabolism (night, as we know, is the time to eliminate accumulated damage and active recovery processes). No-rinse night masks can make the most dehydrated and tired skin happy. They can be applied over the peel instead of a night care product.
Serum
To maintain the effectiveness of your daily care and detoxification efforts, use a serum daily morning and evening under your base cream.
