Skin
When we realize the importance and role of the skin for our body, then it will not be superfluous for us to hear or repeat the words spoken so many times – that the skin is our largest organ. It is our shield and armor from external influences, from atmospheric conditions, from life situations and circumstances in which we find ourselves. We can just look back at our childhood and all the injuries, falls, scraped knees, cuts and our serenity in those conditions, because our skin worked for us, endured all the blows, injuries, healed our wounds. Just imagine how far ahead surgeries and medical procedures would have gotten, if our skin didn’t have the ability to heal and regenerate. How many people are alive and healthy today, thanks to surgery and the skill of surgeons, and how aware we are that such a possibility would not exist if it were not for the perfection of our skin and its ability to heal, regenerate and crown the work of surgery.
Based on what has been said, do we understand that the skin is an active and dynamic organ that constantly renews itself, but it is also an organ that is subject to external influences? The more the skin is “attacked”, the more it regenerates and wears out, and it becomes thicker and more resistant. As the skin is more resistant to external negative influences, it is also more resistant to the steps we take to “repair”, nourish, and hydrate it.
The First Step
In order to properly care for our skin and help it to receive as many nutrients as possible into itself and its deepest layers, it is necessary to properly prepare it. Daily and weekly skin preparation is necessary for the skin to be properly cared for. We cannot expect adequate results from any cream, lotion or cosmetic product, if we do not care for the skin with daily cleaning and at least once a week, ideally twice a week – skin peeling.
Skin cleaning does not require much time and it has long been part of the routine of daily hygiene and facial skin care, but when it comes to peeling, there is a bigger problem, because it requires a little more time, about half an hour, and this step is often neglected, however, it is necessary. We said that the skin wears out, regenerates, renews, but also becomes thicker and more resistant. That is why it is necessary to remove dead skin layers with exfoliants, as well as to clean the pores in which atmospheric impurities have accumulated.
Peeling, in addition to cleaning the deeper layers of the skin, stimulates the natural production of collagen in the skin, accelerates circulation and improves the appearance of the skin.
In order to simplify everything mentioned above, we will make a short, minimal plan for hygiene and skin care, especially for the face, and we will offer recipes that can be made at home, as well as already made products from Lavina Cosmetics, for hygiene and face care.
Weekly facial skin care plan:
1. Morning facial cleansing, we recommend that you start the day with rose, with a mild tonic or with immortelle products of Lavina Natural Cosmetics, which contain micellar water of the mentioned plants, vitamin E, essential oils, glycerin, so that you will apply wonderful, nourishing ingredients to your face as your first step in the morning.
2. Applying the cream, we suggest you choose a cream from our collection, whose recipes include 100% natural and healthy ingredients.
3. Removing make-up belongs to the evening routine and for this purpose we have prepared a rich cosmetic with many nutritious ingredients, which will effectively remove make-up and at the same time care for the face.
4. Intensive facial cleansing is a mandatory step before a night’s sleep and rest, for you and your skin – for this purpose, we suggest a strong cosmetic for intensive facial cleansing which contains aloe, rose water, colloidal silver, essential oils, rice vinegar.
5. Care and strong hydration is necessary for your face after the many effects your skin experienced during the day. A powerful cosmetic with aloe gel and flax gel, with rose water and magnesium, vitamin E and essential oils, will nourish, hydrate and recover your skin overnight. As another option for night care, we recommend the Lavina Night Cream completely healthy and natural, made according to the oldest recipes for skin care, without preservatives.
These are the basic steps for daily facial care and we highly recommend following them. We have taken care of your all-day skin care and have created natural and healthy cosmetics based on these needs. In the following parts of this topic, we will talk about peeling and add it to the weekly routine for quality facial skin care.
