How to prolong youthful skin

Of course, it is impossible to completely stop biological processes - sooner or later nature will take its toll. However, you can significantly delay this process by introducing a few simple rules into the habit:

• use cream with SPF . A special filter included in the creams directly reduces the impact of ultraviolet radiation on the skin. The product must be applied to the back of the hand. Do not neglect this advice in the winter season - ultraviolet radiation does not cease to be emitted, its concentration simply decreases. It is recommended to use products with SPF if the UV index is above 2 points. You can view the current index in your region on the hydrometeorological center website meteoinfo.ru/uvi;
• use gloves . This rule applies to both going outside and cleaning the house. It is also recommended to wear gloves when driving on sunny days. For this purpose there are special driving gloves with open fingers;
• use creams rich in protein at night, and also containing hyaluronic acid, essential oils of plants - shea, coconut, tea tree, as well as lightening components, such as lemon extract;
• Once a week, apply nourishing cream and put on cosmetic cotton gloves over it . Just an hour of this spa treatment helps saturate the skin with additional moisture.

The first lifesaver that everyone should have on their shelf, in their bag, in their car, at work. Its task is to moisturize the thin and delicate skin of the hands.

Moisturizing creams should contain natural extracts (olive or sea buckthorn oil) and vitamins to make the skin soft and smooth.

Amino acids, vitamins and other regenerating components increase blood flow and accelerate cellular tissue renewal.

Tips for choosing

We decided to bother buying a good cream - great, let's look at some points that could affect the purchase:

1. Compound. First, read the ingredients and make sure there are no harmful ingredients that could cause allergies or other side effects.
2. Dimensions. Consider your needs and buy based on that. However, it is not recommended to take less than 50 ml in a package, too little.
3. How much funds should there be? It's good to have night and day cream from the same company.
4. Best before date. You shouldn’t take creams or any products too much for future use. Always focus on production and expiration dates. Expired products can cause harm.
