How to build a skincare routine for beginners? In this article I will answer that question and share with you the easiest skincare routine in 9 steps for beginners that will keep your skin looking healthy and radiant!

The face is undoubtedly the most valued part of the body for many of us. It is the object of all our attention, and we make sure that it looks its best for us but also for those we meet on a daily basis, at home or at work. We track down acne pimples, we fight against oily or dry skin and we try to get rid of the slightest imperfection. But did you know that the best way to take care of our pretty skin is to apply a skin care routine? We tell you everything!

What is a skin care routine?

A Skincare routine is a ritual of hygiene and beauty gestures that we adopt according to steps and a certain regularity, to pamper our face and preserve its natural radiance.

Why have a facial routine? Because the skin is like a plant, it needs to be watered every day to grow in good health. Like a plant, your facial skin needs daily care to treat and prevent all that is :

• pimples
• oily skin, dry skin, acne-prone skin
• dull complexion
• wrinkles
• other imperfections

The skincare routine is therefore necessary to provide your skin with everything it needs to be healthy and to fight (or prevent) visible imperfections. You would be wrong to neglect its importance.

Regularity and the use of good products are the secrets of a good routine.

What are the different steps of a Skincare routine?

To set up a facial care routine, you need to follow 9 steps. And yes, 9 steps is a lot, but don’t panic, you don’t have to do everything. We’ll tell you which ones are mandatory and which ones are not (but which can still help solve a specific problem. We will come back to this).

Moreover, regularity in the different steps, combined with the use of products adapted to your skin will inevitably give you visible results. A woman with dry skin, for example, will not use the same products as a woman with oily skin and vice versa.

Step 1: make-up removal

We can already see you widening your eyes! Yes, you have to remove your makeup even when you are not wearing makeup. With the external aggressions (dust, pollution even the hands carried to the face), you will be astonished to see the residues which you will withdraw from your skin by applying a make-up remover to it. Makeup removal should be done morning and night.

Step 2: cleansing

The second step is to use a gel or soap to clean your face right after the micellar water. Because yes, when we sleep, our face continues to secrete sebum without forgetting the impurities which can settle there. It is thus essential to get rid of it. This cleaning is to be carried out morning and evening. Remember to use products adapted to your needs to avoid aggressing your skin.

Step 3: Exfoliation

At least once a week (for example on Sundays), a deep cleansing is necessary just after step 2 to remove dead skin cells. You should therefore apply a scrubbing or exfoliating product to your face to obtain smooth skin but above all to prepare for the absorption of your moisturizer and the renewal of your cells.

Step 4: the mask

This step is also to be done once a week (at least) right after your scrub. Moisturizing, soothing, anti-stain or purifying, there are several types of masks adapted to the needs of each skin. Depending on the mask chosen, it nourishes the skin, unclogs and tightens pores, reduces blemishes, regulates sebum and can restore the skin’s hydrolipidic film. In short, it is an essential step in restoring radiance and vitality to your skin.

Step 5: Tonic lotion

Use it every day, morning and evening, just after cleansing your skin with your gel or soap and also after your mask (the day of your scrub and mask). It allows to sweep away the last impurities and to eliminate the remains of make-up remover or the traces of limestone if you pass your face under water. In the morning, it also refreshes the complexion and rids the epidermis of excess sebum produced during the night.

Step 6: the serum

This is a treatment that is applied after the toner and before the day cream. It serves as an intensive care layer before applying your daily moisturizing dose. A serum is not a moisturizer and will never replace your face cream. You must therefore put it on when you are looking for a very specific action. Sometimes morning and evening. Sometimes morning or evening. It depends on your needs. Basically, a serum is mostly used for the following problems:

• Severe dehydration that can’t be addressed with a cream
• A problem of spots or scars on the skin: the serum will have a deeper action than the cream
• A problem of radiance: dull face for example
• Acne

The serum is also useful if you have a problem that you are treating with a cream but you want to increase its effectiveness with the associated serum.

Step 7: Eye contour cream

An eye contour product is necessary to smooth the skin in the morning when you wake up and get rid of the bags under your eyes. It is a care adapted to this sensitive area that will take care of your look and ensure that you do not look tired.

Step 8: moisturizing

To prepare your face to face the day as soon as you get out of bed and after cleansing and nourishing it, you need to moisturize it deeply to prevent your skin from cracking if you have dry skin, from becoming sallow if you have combination or oily skin, or from suffering from discomfort even when you are lucky enough to have normal skin. This 8th step is also to be done morning and evening.

Step 9: Sun protection

We don’t always think about it, but applying sun protection is an important part of your face routine, especially in our hot countries and even more so in hot weather, even when you’re not directly exposed to the sun. And just because you have black skin doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply sunscreen. Black and mixed-race skin is also exposed to the sun. This gesture is therefore essential to preserve your health and have a beautiful skin.

Required steps – The foundation for a facial routine

Have you just made the decision to take care of your face? Then these mandatory steps are for you. You don’t have the budget for these 9 steps either, so focus on the basics, on these mandatory steps. You don’t have dark circles or specific imperfections on your skin? Then you don’t need to apply these 9 steps, stick to the basics.

Here are the mandatory steps for your face care routine:

1. Makeup remover: morning and evening
2. Cleansing (with gel or soap): morning and evening
3. Scrubbing: at least once a week and at most 3 times a week
4. Mask: at least once a week and at most 3 times a week
5. Moisturizing cream: morning and evening
6. Sunscreen: during the day for those who live in sunny countries all year round and in summer only for those who experience intense periods of yver with cold weather.

The non-obligatory but important steps according to the need

For those who want to go further with rigor and regularity, here are the non-mandatory but important steps if you want to solve a specific problem of imperfections on your skin:

1. The tonic lotion
2. The serum
3. The eye contour treatment

These steps are only performed when you really need them.

Tips

The hardest and most important part of a routine is :

1- to be convinced of the importance of a routine: a healthy skin is a beautiful skin without make-up, even more beautiful with make-up and it is a skin without imperfections. Adopting a daily routine allows you to have this type of healthy skin.

2- Use the right products for your skin. The best way to do this is to test the products recommended to you or the products recommended by your favorite beauty store and listen to your skin. This way you will know which products are best for you and not someone else.

3- Be regular. Again and again. A routine is every day. Morning and evening. And at least once a week for the scrub and mask. You won’t get results by applying your products every 3 days or every 10 days. No! So be regular. And be patient.

Then, before you try to apply all the steps of the facial routine, get the basics of a facial routine right. Apply the mandatory steps with regularity before moving on to the extra steps. Be aware that your efforts are paying off with just the mandatory steps, and then you can move on to the extra steps if you find that you need them.

For those who want to apply all the steps of the routine and who do not have the financial means to buy all the products, rest assured and focus on the essentials: the mandatory steps and regularity. You will see visible results.

For those who have the purchasing power, who are convinced of the importance of a routine, who master the needs of their skin and who are already regular on the mandatory steps, you are certainly better equipped to go further and add everything that is serum, toner or other. And again, if you really need it.

On the other hand, don’t forget that there are natural options to take care of your skin. They are just as effective and inexpensive.

And finally, don’t give in (easily) to the overconsumption of beauty products. Take the time to test products, listen to your skin and identify those products that really work on you and stick to them. Your face care ritual can therefore be quite minimalist, just listen to your skin and it will thank you.

There, you know everything now. Here’s to your routine. And now!

As if by a miracle, the beautiful days have finally decided to show their skin! While our beautiful country has switched to summer temperatures, your skin has remained in winter weather: it lacks collagen, firmness, and tends to dehydrate. But don’t panic! Skin that lacks elasticity is not a fatality: discover our 10 key tips to firm and tone your skin.
When your skin lacks elasticity, and you feel that your body is less toned, that it is flabby, then we talk about loosening of the muscle mass. This very frequent symptom can be due to successive weight changes that your skin has difficulty assimilating, or simply to a poor lifestyle. On your body, this translates into the sudden appearance of love handles, as well as less firm buttocks and stomach.

However, a few simple rules are recommended to quickly regain a toned skin, whether in your diet or in your cosmetic care.

Indeed, the benefits of marine cosmetics will be your best allies to firm up your skin: seawater is rich in nutrients and allows your body to eliminate toxins; as for seaweed and mineral salts, they naturally tone up the skin.

Follow our 10 tips to get a toned skin, and be ready for the summer days!

Adapt your beauty routine for a firmer, more toned skin

1 A scrub to renew your skin

This is the first treatment to recommend when you want to firm up your body: exfoliating once or twice a week eliminates dead cells and cleanses your skin thoroughly. After application, it will be soft and ready to receive an intensive firming treatment.

2 Rejuvenate your figure with a toning cream

After exfoliation, applying a toning cream will leave your skin hydrated and visibly firmer. Choose one with a tightening effect for immediate results.

3: Choose a targeted treatment

By choosing a targeted treatment, you won’t give your skin a break! Choose a night cream, which will act intensively on your skin, when it is most receptive to care. When applying it, don’t hesitate to massage yourself or to adopt the palpate-roll method to tighten the skin and fight against skin slackening.

4 Protect yourself from the sun

Even if the sun is necessary for your body because of its vitamin D synthesizing properties, it is not recommended to abuse it. Indeed, prolonged exposure will dry out the skin and destroy its natural production of collagen. And who says imminent lack of collagen, says skin in loss of firmness.

For a visibly toned skin, choose the right gestures every day

1 Adopt a balanced diet

If there are foods that burn fat, there are also foods that strengthen muscles. In fact, when you are subject to muscle slackening, it is because your body is not well balanced and your diet is not balanced enough. By choosing to strengthen your diet, you will also strengthen your muscle tone. To do this, choose good sources of protein, such as eggs, lean meats and fatty fish such as salmon. Apples are also an excellent source of protein, as they are enriched with ursolic acid, the only component that destroys fat while increasing muscle tone.

2 Focus on antioxidants

The most powerful antioxidants are found in berries and their caloric impact is one of the lowest. Antioxidants help fight free radicals, thus limiting skin aging. They are also perfect for maintaining your skin’s natural collagen.

Think also of foods rich in Vitamin C, such as oranges or lemons, which will restore firmness to your skin and help you keep a flat stomach: consume them for example in the form of fruit water (cut the lemon, taking care to keep its zest, and add the cut fruit to cold or hot water as you like. Drink it on an empty stomach in the morning to boost your fat-burning metabolism, get rid of saddlebags and firm up your abdominal muscles).

3 Beware of water retention

Beware of the water retention that can be caused by eating too much food: even if indulging yourself from time to time is essential, you should know that food with a high salt and sugar content favors the irremediable loss of tone.

However, there are foods that help eliminate the water that stagnates in the body: think for example of grapes, rich in potassium, which has draining virtues. It also improves your transit, thanks to the fiber it contains.

And to stay in the summer period, you can also consider pineapple, which in addition to firming the skin by making it deflate, also promotes the elimination of cellulite.

4 Take a nice cold shower

Also known as the Scottish shower, it consists of alternating jets of cold water and hot water in the shower, especially on areas that need toning: arms, thighs, stomach. This technique promotes good blood circulation and tones the tissues of your epidermis for the day… Ideal for a quick firming up! And what could be better than a little fresh air in the morning?

5 Exercise to build muscle

If eating well helps eliminate toxins, sport, above all, helps firm up your skin and ensure that your efforts are sustained over the long term. While not all sports are equal in terms of tone, it is not necessary to have the level of an Olympic competitor… Choose dance, gym or swimming, which will mobilize your lower body muscles more.

Don’t hesitate to opt for exercises to build up your abs and buttocks: a little cardio, crunches, lunges, or even the elliptical bike will help you quickly get a flat stomach and burn excess fat.

You can also opt for weight training exercises to be done at home: sheathing, Crossfit or simply doing squats allow you to work out easily without having professional equipment nearby. Invest in elastics, small dumbbells or a skipping rope and you’re done!

But beware of aches and pains: remember to warm up before any physical effort.

6 Stay hydrated

We can’t stress this enough, but drinking plenty of water throughout the day contributes to the health of your skin, and especially your muscles, which are made up of 65 to 75% of water. Remember to always have a bottle of water in your bag, especially when the thermometer starts to rise.

You are now ready to sculpt your summer figure!

Adopt the best beauty habits of people with beautiful skin and no wrinkles and have a healthier, more radiant face! Find out what a dermatologist has to say to make your skin look its best.

People with beautiful skin have made a habit of washing their face with a gentle cleanser

“I recommend using a gentle facial cleanser in the morning to remove oils that have built up overnight and to cleanse your skin of any products you may have put on overnight,” says Christine Choi Kim, a cosmetic physician and dermatologist in California. Start the day with a clean face.

Another beauty habit for beautiful skin: protect your skin from the environment

Apply an antioxidant to delay cellular damage caused by both environmental pollutants and ultraviolet rays, suggests Dr. Kim. Antioxidants commonly found in skin care products include vitamin C and E, phloretin, feluric acid, and plant-derived substances such as resveratrol, green tea and coffee beans.

Sunscreen with SPF over 30

Wait a few minutes for the antioxidant to penetrate your skin, then apply a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Dr. Kim recommends SPF 30 or higher because when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) measures the effectiveness of SPF, it does so with 28 grams (1 ounce) of lotion, but most people don’t use that much. So if you apply SPF 30 like most people do, you’re probably getting the same protection as SPF 15. If your blemish balm (BB Cream) or base contains sunscreen lotion, choose it with an SPF of at least 30. Or apply your makeup as usual a few minutes after coating your skin with a separate sunscreen lotion.

Cover your hands, neck and chest

Don’t forget to apply an antioxidant and sunscreen lotion to your neck, upper chest and the backs of your hands, which are exposed to the ravages of UV rays when you drive. There are areas that people often forget to protect,” adds Dr. Kim, “even though they’re just as exposed to the elements as your face – and they’ll show signs of aging from the sun even if your face is sunless.

For beautiful skin, avoid touching your pimples

If you find an ugly red pimple when you wake up in the morning, don’t try to pop it – you’ll only inflame it and make it swell more, warns Dr. Kim. Better to put an ice cube on the intruder to reduce inflammation, then apply an over-the-counter acne medication that contains salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or sulfur to dry it out. Some products even contain a concealer, so you can treat and conceal at the same time.

A healthy glow from whole foods rich in vitamins and minerals

What your skin needs most to glow is a diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables, especially berries and leafy greens. Whether you’re eating oatmeal, cereal, yogurt or a smoothie, add berries – plus a vitamin C cocktail – to make your skin glow.

Your skin will also look better if you cut back on alcohol, sugar and processed foods, Dr. Kim advises. If you’re gluten-sensitive or lactose-intolerant and eliminate these products from your diet, your skin will look healthier and you may experience fewer breakouts.

For beautiful skin, make a habit of moisturizing

When you’re dehydrated, your skin can look dry and dull and make you look tired. Skin loves moisture, which is why drinking is so important to prevent dryness. Drink a glass of water before your morning coffee, and plan on having one or two more 250 ml (1 cup) glasses with your lunch.

7 Bad Habits That Harm Your Skin!

Our face is precious and fragile. To avoid seeing spots, wrinkles appearing too quickly or imperfections… It is better to take care of it. Here are 7 mistakes to banish from your beauty routine. Read the guide!

Mistake 1: not removing your makeup before bed

After a long day at work, or a drunken night out, all you can think about is…. Take refuge under the comforter. So much for the makeup removal step, mistake!

In fact, it’s very important to take time to remove your makeup. Otherwise, the pores of the epidermis are clogged, which actually accelerates skin aging. Before going to bed, it is therefore essential to use a milk, micellar water or gel to remove traces of makeup, pollution residue and excess sebum. Are you really lazy? Use a makeup remover wipe. That’s it!

Mistake 2: Overusing scrubbing products

Mechanical scrubs (with exfoliating grains) are often very abrasive. While they are very effective in removing dead skin from the surface of the epidermis, they should not be used too frequently, especially by sensitive skin. As for chemical scrubs, their formula can be very active, especially when they are not designed for daily use.

The right thing to do: as a general rule, limit the use of mechanical scrubs, which are too abrasive for the face. Instead, opt for a chemical exfoliant whose use you can adjust according to your skin and the formula (daily or not).

Mistake 3: Putting your phone against your cheek

Packed with all kinds of bacteria, the screen of your smartphone will transfer them to your skin, whose functioning could be disrupted, creating inflammations (pimples, blackheads, mouth ulcers…).

The right thing to do: use a hands-free kit or the speakerphone of your phone as often as possible. In the same spirit, avoid touching your face without washing your hands first. At night, rid your skin of the bacteria and impurities that have settled on it during the day. To do this, use a good cleanser, capable of capturing the dirt, then clean up once rinsed, such as micellar water or a cleansing milk… Also good, the ritual of the double-cleansing, associating the stages of the oil make-up remover and the foaming cleanser.

Mistake 4: Changing your face care too often

Unless you notice an undesirable skin reaction immediately after applying a new cream, there is no reason to change your skin care product before a reasonable time. In fact, by changing too often, not only will you surely not see any effect on your skin, but you also risk making the skin care products less effective, as skin renewal can no longer take place in an optimal manner. Finally, if you use too many different products on your skin in a short period of time, you run the risk of sensitizing it and, as it can no longer tolerate anything, it may develop an allergy.

The right thing to do: test your face care products for at least 3 to 4 weeks, i.e. the time it takes for a cell renewal cycle, or the equivalent of using a medium-sized jar of cream.

Mistake 5: Applying too much material to the skin at once

When too much cream is applied to the skin at once, the skin has trouble absorbing it all and enjoying the benefits of each treatment because of the masking effect of the previously applied layers.

The right thing to do: adopt a minimalist routine and for each treatment, take a reasonable amount of material (some well thought-out packaging delivers the right amount in one click). Applying twice as much, just because you missed an evening, won’t change anything. If your skincare product is fluffy when applied, it is often a sign that there are too many materials on the skin or that the products applied are incompatible.

Mistake 6: Using the same face and body care products

Except in SOS version, where they can help, body care products should not be used on the face. The needs are not the same and the characteristics of the skin are different. So forget the soap or shower gel to clean your face and the 2-in-1 body cream to moisturize your body and face. Especially since multi-purpose products promise several actions but in the end do nothing properly.

The right thing to do: opt for simple skin care products, at a low price if your budget is tight, but which are really dedicated to the area you want to take care of. The golden rule: one treatment = one action. A basic cleanser, a serum and a moisturizing cream and clay as a weekly mask can do the trick.

Mistake 7: Using dirty beauty accessories

You wouldn’t think of eating off the same plate night after night without washing it? So why would you think it makes sense to take care of your skin or apply makeup with dirty hands or accessories that are not regularly cleaned and on which layers of impurities, bacteria and cream accumulate?

The right thing to do: gloves, disposable cotton pads, make-up sponges, brushes, tweezers… Clean your beauty accessories as regularly as possible. If ideally, you should wash your tools after each use as the pros do, our daily life does not always allow it. Let’s stay soft: a good cleaning once a week will already be great.

Summertime requires special treatment of the skin – just as we must take special care of our hair in the summer.

The time we spend outdoors is obviously an important factor on skin health due to the effects of the sun and its rays on the skin.

But there are also our outdoor activities that influence skin health and facial care in the summer.

Here, we are thinking of activities at the pool and the various products needed to maintain it, but we should also not neglect the effects of perspiration on the pores of the skin – for the more active and fervent of physical activities.

Whether your lifestyle is the most active or you’re more of a sipping your favorite drink by the water, here’s the best 8-step routine to use to care for your skin in summer.

Step 1 – Use a pre-cleaner

Everyone’s skin needs vary and everyone needs what we call a pre-cleanser.

I would recommend the perfect makeup remover for all clients, with its oil-free eye formula it will quickly become a staple in your routine.

This one will thoroughly remove all traces of makeup, it also removes waterproof mascara and is suitable for all skin types.

Step 2 – Cleanse with a surface cleanser

It is the common cleanser that many know as gel, cleansing milk, foaming gel, etc..

To take care of your face in the summer, it is essential to have one because it is this one that will dislodge the first layer of dirt where we find sebum, pollutant deposits and others.

It is the same as the hairstyle: we will make a first foam to remove the pollutants then a second one for its benefits.

There is a wide range of choices with the Bioéléments line, for example: the positive hydration cleansing milk (dry to very dry skin), the enzymatic instant foaming cleanser (combination, oily, comedogenic, acne-prone).

Of course, there are many other options that can be recommended to you during your consultation with your esthetician.

Step 3 – Apply the toner

The toner is essential in a routine because it will moisten the skin cells to allow the exfoliant and all the other products to penetrate well and bring a maximum of benefits.

Important: Do not neglect the neck when spraying the toner.

With BioElements, you have two choices: Balancing and Power Peptide.

Step 4 – Exfoliate the skin

To take care of your face in the summer, the application of an exfoliant is certainly the most important step in a routine even if it does not necessarily require daily use.

This step allows to remove the dead cells that clog the ostias to finally allow the sebum to flow normally and to avoid blackheads and others.

It will also make the skin smoother and give a better complexion because the exfoliant stimulates the microcirculation in the skin.

The BioElements brand has a great line of exfoliants that are all suitable for different skin types and needs.

Step 5 – Apply toner (again)

This is a step that will greatly improve your results.

So, be sure to re-spray a small amount on your face and neck.

Step 6 – Make a mask

The mask will be a solution for many problems because it often contains a panoply of active ingredients that will act for 20 minutes.

This moment of relaxation is essential to take care of yourself because it will not only be beneficial for your skin, but also for yourself.

It can be done at least twice a week for a minimum of 10 minutes to be sure that it acts well and efficiently.

Step 7 – Apply the serum

The serum is the most concentrated product in active ingredients that you can apply on the face, so when it comes to choosing a serum, it is normal to wonder which one to choose…

So we have to target a problem that is more important than the others (the one that bothers us the most) and we choose.

In the end, we often apply it more in the evening to let it work all night long and it is also possible to have more than one serum in our routine.

This one will contain active ingredients that will either help diminish the appearance of wrinkles or brighten the complexion and even more.

Step 8 – Finish with a moisturizer

The cream is very important in a routine because it’s kind of the finishing layer of the routine – it ends the routine beautifully.

It’s called the “protection cream” and it’s not for nothing.

In fact, it will form a protective barrier on the surface to provide water, oil and other important actives.

I strongly encourage you to take a look and try several to find what you are looking for in a cream: whether it is the texture, the smell, the effect on the skin, the level of hydration it provides, etc.

Bonus step – What to do if you go to the sun?

It is PRIMORITY to wear a sunscreen with an fps of at least 30 every day of the year.

This is because sun aging is the most important form of skin aging and affects the majority of people.

The Canadian Dermatology Association recommends an fps of 30.

It is therefore very important to apply a layer and reapply every two hours if you want to get maximum protection for your skin.

Changes in temperature, sensitised skin, skin reactions… The skin on the face can suffer from unpleasant irritations. An appropriate skin care routine can counteract these discomforts.

How To Relieve Irritated Facial Skin?

1. Drink plenty of water: hydration of the body depends above all on the amount of water in the body. Depending on your height, weight and physical activity, the amount of water you need to drink per day varies.
2. Moisturise the skin: all skin types should be moisturised, even oily skin. Applying a moisturiser every morning before applying make-up and every evening after cleansing helps to strengthen the skin’s protective barrier.
3. Cleanse the skin: Every night before bedtime, it is important to cleanse the skin of the face with a non-stripping cleanser.

What are the consequences for the skin on the face?

Signs of redness, stinging, itching or flaking are due to an alteration of the skin barrier and the appearance of an inflammatory reaction. The porous epidermis no longer acts as a barrier to external aggression and no longer limits the insensible loss of water. The skin then loses its elasticity and suppleness, dry cracks appear, its surface becomes rough and red to the point of forming small lesions, crusts or scaling.

How to relieve facial irritation?

Good healing is the key to repairing weakened skin. The right thing to do: soothe the fire with a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free cream whose formula based on vitamin B3, or niacinamide, moisturises the cells and calms the redness. This new flagship active ingredient stimulates the synthesis of lipids which form a cement that limits water loss and fights against atopic dryness. Better renewed, these natural lipids boost the skin’s ability to heal.

On particularly dry areas, applying locally an emollient and nourishing care product will limit desquamation, such as a specific lip balm if the problem concerns the mouth, or a healing cream applied in a thick layer on other parts of the face.

What skincare routine should I adopt to prevent facial irritation?

To avoid the appearance of irritation, the best thing to do is to prevent it, with a skincare routine adapted to sensitive skin.

In the morning: cleanse your face by spraying with a thermal water mist and follow with a cotton pad soaked in thermal micellar water, which eliminates dead skin and impurities without irritating. Finally, apply an anti-redness moisturiser before using hypoallergenic make-up.

In the evening: cleanse the skin thoroughly, but without stripping. A thermal water make-up remover is recommended. Then dab a few drops of Mont Blanc Essence all over the face, as a serum under the night care or alone if the skin needs nothing more than hydration.

5 Tips To Improve The Condition Of Your Skin Naturally

Pollution, sun, cold, stress, fatigue… Faced with external aggressions and the daily rhythm of life, it is important to take care of your skin every day. Discover five 100% natural tips to take care of your skin.

1. Cleanse and remove make-up morning and night

The first step is the most important to have a beautiful skin. Every day the skin is attacked by the outside world (pollution, dust, sun, wind, cold…) and is suffocated by the layer of make-up, perspiration as well as dead skin and residues that stick and accumulate throughout the day. This is why it is very important to clean it thoroughly every day. To do this, it is best to use natural products that respect your skin type, its PH and the hydrolipidic film (protective film covering the surface of the epidermis).

Facial cleansing must be carried out gently without damaging the skin.

2. Deeply nourish and moisturise your skin

After a good skin cleansing, the essential beauty step is to deeply nourish your skin in order to preserve its elasticity. Use a 100% natural product, preferably a non-greasy, non-comedogenic oil. Massage the product into the skin in gentle circular motions until it is completely absorbed.

Before moisturising your skin, apply a natural alcohol-free tonic lotion to tone, purify and refresh your skin.

3. Protecting your skin

Although the sun plays a fundamental role in the well-being of the skin through vitamin D, it will also be its main enemy. If the skin is exposed to the sun’s rays for too long, it can lead to sunburn and even to more or less deep and serious skin damage.

This is why it is important to apply a sunscreen with an index adapted to your skin when you are exposed to the sun (it is recommended that you reapply it regularly and that you do not expose yourself to the sun at times when the sun is strongest). Every day of the year (whether on holiday or in the middle of winter) your skin is exposed to the sun, which is why it is important to choose and use daily sun protection products with SPF.

The second great enemy of the skin is the cold. Faced with it, the skin can quickly become sensitive, dry, red and tight. It is therefore important to protect it well and not to use cosmetics that could make it even more fragile.

4. Sleep between 7 and 9 hours per night

Work, sport, children… with a fairly fast-paced lifestyle it is not often easy to get your quota of hours of sleep. Depending on the individual, the recommended rest period is between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night. This is a time that must be respected in order to let your skin breathe. For healthy skin, a healthy lifestyle is essential.

5. Use 100% natural cosmetics for the skin

We advise you to use products made of natural ingredients, such as essential and vegetable oils. The Indemne brand has a range of natural cosmetics for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

The main oils that make up the products are :

• The essential oil of Cadier wood: antiseptic, soothing, parasiticide
• Roman Chamomile essential oil: anti-inflammatory, painkiller, soothing
• Cinnamon bark essential oil: anti-infectious, antibacterial, antifungal, astringent
• Lemon essential oil: antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral
• Hazelnut vegetable oil: protective, healing, softening
• Sweet almond vegetable oil: healing, nourishing, soothing…

Having a healthy skin also requires food because it needs certain vitamins such as vitamin A, B (B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12), C and E. But also minerals and trace elements such as zinc, selenium and magnesium and also omega-3 which help to have a beautiful skin.
