Skincare for the body
Why is it essential to take care of your skin?
The skin is an organ with a fragile balance: it marks easily. For example, the skin dries out, cracks, and peels when irritated. Rubbing against clothes, sweating, shaving, applying make-up not adapted to the skin type, using aggressive household products... The list of familiar elements that can alter the quality of your skin is endless.
Also, with time, the body spends less energy, tending to store fat and develop a more accentuated orange peel appearance. This can lead to saggy skin from pregnancy, muscle loss, lack of hydration, or the skin's natural aging process.
Excessive sweating
Visible hives, wetness, embarrassing odors. When sweat gets out of control, it can become a problem, especially if you're used to wearing fitted shirts but don't panic. There are solutions to control your sweat.
Stretch marks and scars
Stretch marks are small lines that appear on the body due to skin stretching. They most often occur after a significant weight gain, during pregnancy, and in adolescence.
Treat sagging skin
Wrinkled skin, lack of suppleness and firmness, and sagging skin affect the face, neck, neckline, and certain body parts, such as the arms, the lower abdomen, the breasts, buttocks, and the inner thighs.
Cellulite:
It’s made up of fat cells called adipocytes, which swell under the skin, causing the orange peel effect.
Scars:
Chelated, hypertrophic. Scars that mark the body can be aesthetically embarrassing.
Sunburns:
These cause the skin to burn, accelerating skin aging, and can lead to pigmentation spots and dry areas, etc.
Atopic eczema:
This is a skin disease that causes itching in flare-ups.
Stretch marks:
When the skin cracks because of skin expansion/growth, influenced by hormonal flows (during adolescence, pregnancy), stretch marks appear.
Psoriasis:
This is an inflammatory skin disease that manifests itself as flaky, red patches.
Ingrown hairs:
This is hair that grows under the skin! It happens to people who wax or shave.
Hirsutism:
This hair appears on so-called male areas or areas commonly hairless in women, such as the face or chest.
Dyshidrosis:
This type of eczema appears on the hands or feet, characterized by blisters or tiny bubbles.
Dermatitis:
This is an allergic skin disease that occurs episodically.
Excessive hair growth:
This is characterized by a large amount of hair growth in a particular area.
Tattoo removal:
It’s common to regret a tattoo and to want to remove it.
How to properly cleanse and moisturize your body?
● Showering should not be too hot. Otherwise, it may burn or damage the skin. Above 37°C, the water can cause varicose veins and couperose veins.
● The soap's PH level should not be too acidic, at the risk of drying out your skin. Cold-saponified soaps are suitable because they have a pH of around 9, i.e., alkaline.
● When drying the skin, it’s recommended to tap rather than rub so you don’t damage the skin.
● Hydrating your body is necessary to soften the epidermis once dry. Use a natural oil that contains argan, shea, or avocado.
