What happens to the skin in the fall?

Autumn is a transition period when natural conditions change and cold and temperature changes begin. Currently, skin problems such as:

– dehydration;

– violation of the barrier functions of the epithelium;

– pigmentation (especially those who like to sunbathe in summer and do not use SPF creams);

– hypersensitivity;

– aggravation of rosacea (due to the reaction of the veins to the cold).

What should you change in your care to keep your skin in good condition?

The most important thing in autumn is hydration and toning.

Our main task after the summer is to restore the hydrolipid mantle of the skin. For this, cosmetics containing ceramides, squalene, niacinamide, lysato-, lacto- and lipidobacteria are suitable. The fact is that these components are similar in structure to skin lipids, so he takes them with pleasure.

Another important step is gentle exfoliation. For these purposes, enzyme powders, peelings, acid serums are suitable (this option is primarily for oily and combination skin and a tendency to hyperpigmentation).

It is equally important to choose make-up remover and skin-cleansing products by focusing on your type. About how to do it yourself, we wrote in detail here. And of course, autumn is not a reason to give up sunscreen, especially if you are going for cosmetic procedures or use acid. SPF creams are valid all year round, although solar activity decreases during the cold season.

How do cosmetics help with beriberi?

Vitamin deficiency adversely affects the condition of the skin, and cosmetics alone cannot correct the situation. First of all, it is necessary to understand what exactly the body is missing – to undergo an examination and pass a clinical blood test. And only then correct the deficiency with the help of vitamins prescribed by the therapist.

In the composition of cosmetics, you need to look for such components as:

– biotin or vitamin H, necessary for the production of collagen;

– Vitamin F, which supports the barrier functions of the skin;

– Vitamin C, which stimulates the regeneration of skin cells;

– retinol or vitamin A, which provides shine and elasticity;

– niacinamide or vitamin B3, which evens out the tone and accelerates cell regeneration;

– Vitamin D-panthenol or B5 moisturizes and soothes the skin.

Skin is always put to the test as the seasons change, but with the right care, many problems can be avoided. The main thing is to maintain the level of nutrition and hydration, do not forget to exfoliate to avoid coarsening, pay attention to the composition of cleansing and cosmetic products, and do not neglect SPF protection. If you treat your skin with care, it will be healthy and radiant even on cloudy autumn days.
