Healthy skin in spring: precious care tips

Spring is here and that means skin care needs to be adapted to ensure healthy skin. This is the time to recover it from the damage of winter and prepare it for the next season: summer! After all, the flower season is always an invitation to highlight beauty in a special way.

The secret to healthy skin is the right care! With that in mind, Semper Bem prepared a dossier revealing the step-by-step guide to achieving the perfect complexion. Check it out!

1. Cleaning

Cleaning is essential to preserve skin health. That's because the impurities of pollution usually accumulate in the pores, leaving an oily appearance in the dermis. This care should be adopted at least twice a day, in the morning and at night.

For this season, it is best to bet on warm water and soap foam to massage the skin and ensure asepsis without harming the skin. Gel or mousse products are usually softer, therefore, more suitable. 

In addition, it is essential to remove makeup before bed, because the dermis needs to breathe. Micellar water is ideal for this, as it promotes a deep and gentle cleaning of the pores.

2. Hydration

Hydration should be part of the care routine at any time of year. During spring, it becomes essential to restore the texture and luminosity of the dermis, which is damaged by the cold of the season that precedes it.

In an interview for the program Semper Bem , dermatologist Lia Albuquerque recommends that the moisturizer be applied to the body right after getting out of the shower. According to the professional, “the skin still a little damp favors the absorption of the product”.

It's no different with the skin of the face… hydration is also essential and should always be done on a clean face and with specific products for the region. In addition, it is important to use a facial moisturizer for your skin type, after all, if it is oily and you use an inappropriate dermocosmetic for this problem, your face will be susceptible to blackheads and pimples.

3. Protection

The use of sunscreen is essential to ensure protection against the sun's rays and prevent the appearance of stains. The product takes care of the health of the dermis and should be applied every day, rain or shine. “Using sunscreen is essential, regardless of the season,” warns the dermatologist. 

It protects the skin from UVA and UVB rays, which can even damage the subcutaneous layers, causing premature aging. SPF 30 is the minimum recommended by the Brazilian Society of Dermatology for this period.

4. Vitamin C

Another recommendation by the dermatologist is the topical use of vitamin C, “which is a powerful antioxidant and one of the most important for the skin”, says Lia. This vitamin helps protect collagen in the dermis, reduce and lighten blemishes, as well as improve skin texture. The ideal is to apply it in the morning, before sunscreen.

5. Good habits

And it's not worth forgetting to have good life habits, huh! After all, sleeping little, eating poorly, drinking little water, smoking and drinking too much alcohol are also villains for the health and beauty of the dermis. With these care, it is possible to ensure healthy and beautiful skin both in spring and summer.
