Skincare during seasonal changes
To have soft and elastic skin, proper care is essential to allow the skin to regenerate optimally. Below are some measures to help you achieve truly healthy skin.
Water is not only essential for health but also a "miracle cure" for beautiful skin. Lack of water will make your skin dry, rough, and prone to aging. Furthermore, water helps your body eliminate toxins that clog pores – the culprit behind acne.
The average daily water requirement for a healthy person is 1.5-2 liters; however, this largely depends on your health condition, occupation, etc.
A nutritious diet not only has positive effects on your health but also benefits your skin.
In your diet during the autumn months, you should increase your intake of green vegetables and fruits commonly found in fall to supplement vitamins such as vitamins C, B, E, and A, as well as iron, zinc, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids—a type of fatty acid that the body cannot synthesize on its own and must obtain from external food sources. Vitamins will help regenerate skin cells, resulting in smooth and radiant skin.
Body lotion
Full body moisturizing is a very beneficial skincare habit, helping to balance moisture and nourish the skin deep within.
A simple way to care for your skin is to use readily available ingredients at home, such as bananas, honey, cucumbers, and tomatoes, to make face masks, which will be very effective. In addition, you should apply moisturizing cream or oil to your entire body, paying special attention to areas prone to calluses and darkening, such as elbows, heels, and knees.
It is recommended to use body lotions containing AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), as it can effectively nourish the skin, remove dead skin cells, and regenerate new skin cells.
Protect your skin
Many people believe that because autumn weather is cool and there's less sunlight, sunscreen isn't necessary. However, even on cloudy days, UVA and UVB rays can still harm your skin, potentially leading to skin cancer over time. When choosing sunscreen, opt for one with an SPF of 15 or higher for optimal protection. Using sunscreen not only protects your skin but also nourishes it.
For those who work outdoors, it is essential to always use protective equipment such as hats and masks to protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.
