Things You May Not Know about Body Care

Do you regularly take care of your body’s skin but it's not effective?

The weather at the end of the year is starting to turn cold. This is when you need to pay more attention to your skincare routine. Besides choosing the right product, you should also know about the time to take care of your skin to get the best results.

According to dermatologists, the best time to take care of your skin is right after you shower. At that time, the skin is still moist, and the pores are dilated to help the skin easily absorb nutrients.

HOW TO APPLY SKIN CARE PRODUCTS FOR THE WHOLE BODY EFFECTIVELY

Step 1: Take a shower
Step 2: Put a small amount of product in the palm of your hand
Step 3: Rub your hands together for a few seconds to warm up
Step 4: Use both hands to apply to the skin areas on the body, and at the same time gently massage in an upward direction. Thus, not only helps the skin firmer but also helps nutrients easily penetrate the skin.
Step 5: Repeat the above steps with the whole body. For areas where the skin is very dry, make sure to apply thicker than other areas, such as elbows or knees.

WHEN IS IT NECESSARY TO TAKE CARE OF THE WHOLE BODY?

AFTER HAIR REMOVAL

Waxing will inadvertently remove the stratum corneum on the surface of the skin, similar to exfoliating. So, to protect your skin from dryness and flaking, use a skin moisturizer. However, for some people, waxing can damage the skin and even bleed. At this time, do not apply normal skincare products, but should see a dermatologist for treatment. Because skincare products will make damaged skin easily irritated.

BEFORE GOING TO BED

The evening is considered the best time for the skin to absorb the moisturizer. Because, after a long day of tiring activities, this is the time for the skin to rest. When you sleep, your skin also loses moisture. Therefore, you need to fully moisturize your skin by using body lotions. If you live in an area with hot and humid weather or an environment with relatively high temperatures, choose body lotions for the skin. These products have a very thin and light texture that easily penetrates the skin without leaving clothes on.

WHEN ON A PLANE

While you're on a plane, your skin needs to be well-moisturized. Because low pressure and changing air will dry the skin. Note, when applying body lotion, do not forget to apply it to the neck area! To avoid the product sticking to clothes after applying, you should choose types with a milky or liquid texture.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCT

Besides skincare time, choosing the right product is also very important. When choosing to buy body care products, keep the following points in mind:

PRODUCTS WITH HIGH SPF CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCT

Skin that is regularly exposed to the sun without proper care is one of the causes of premature aging of the skin. To protect your skin, choose a body lotion with a built-in SPF15 or higher. However, you should choose two different types of skincare products day and night. Because you don't need SPF at night. Instead, let your skin relax with a highly moisturizing product.

INGREDIENTS IN THE PRODUCT

Many people think that expensive products will give the best results. But this is not entirely true. There are some products that are affordable but are very suitable for your skin.
