TOrchiviati veglioni and gastronomic marathons, it’s time for detox beauty after parties: food, (desserts in the first place) and alcohol do not give in fact only a few harmless extra kilos but also a dull face, more marked wrinkles and shiny skin.
Post-party detox beauty: it starts from the table
When it comes to detox, good habits always start at the table. We need to get back into the right rhythms by eliminating excesses e favor seasonal foods, primarily fruit and vegetables, which also lend a hand on the beauty front.
Oranges, for example, typical of this period, are rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, anti inflammatory fundamental againstinflammaging, which occurs in the deeper layers of the epidermis and alters DNA, causing long-term damage. Two top ingredients, great allies for the skin.
Take advantage of the night, when the skin regenerates
It might seem like a negligible detail, but also re-establishing regular sleep-wake rhythms is very important to feel more beautiful. In fact, especially at night between 11 pm and 4 am, the skin carries out all its natural restorative processes.
Here the most powerful skincare must be applied, thanks to the peak somatoform hormone which makes the epidermis more receptive to the active ingredients and more capable of regenerating itself. They are the so-called golden hours: during sleep the main organs are at rest and the peripheral ones receive a plus of nourishment. To take advantage of it, the ideal is to use more active products, both in terms of hydration and nourishment.
A deep cleansing, against dullness and dull complexion
To eliminate gray and dull complexion from the face, however, are excellent deep cleaning, even with latest generation electronic products. Indispensable, exfoliation and peeling: they eliminate the most superficial cells and facilitate the penetration of the products used, such as those based on salicylic and glycolic acids.
The treatments should be carried out 2-3 times a week, alternating with specific masks, to be chosen according to the type of your skin.
Detox beauty: SOS oily skin
Thorough cleaning is also of great help in case of oily skin, very common after family meals; the epidermis in this period can be more shiny than usual, and often there are pimples and other imperfections.
To counter the “Sugar face”, as it is commonly defined, in addition to sebum-regulating products, ideal for night skincare, it is useful to focus on non-oily film-forming moisturizers for the day. An extra help comes from make-up, with mattifying powders and foundations.
Post-party beauty detox: the eye contour reflects fatigue
When fatigue makes itself felt, the eyes always betray. Bags and dark circles, in fact, are the most evident consequences of festive excesses.
The periocular area should be drained with specific products that improve local microcirculation and attenuate the typical dark color. A serum or an eye patch, preferably applied in the evening, gives excellent results. What matters is to always use specific products, given that the skin of this area is much thinner and more sensitive than that of the rest of the face and requires ad hoc formulations, as well as a different application technique.
In order not to be mistaken, the product should be gently tapped with the fingertip of the ring finger, until completely absorbed.
And don’t forget the body
If the excesses of the holidays have left a few extra pounds that you want to dispose of, it is the right time to get rid of them; it is true that the costume fitting it is still a long way off, however there are no miraculous creams to get back in shape at the last minute, much less fasting and deleterious diets.
Furthermore, in the evening, the detox program can also become a pampering moment: a body scrub, for example, combined with a bath enriched with essential oils.
You can start off again in style, with simple strategies to be implemented, immediately, day after day.
