Eat a healthy diet for a glowing complexion
Diet plays a vital role in our overall health, and this also includes the appearance of our skin. A balanced, nutrient-rich diet can contribute to aglowingandradiantcomplexion.
Indeed, what we put on our plate can have a direct impact on the health of our skin.
First of all, it is important to eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help fight free radicals responsible for premature aging of the skin.
- Citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons are particularly beneficial because they are rich in vitamin C, which promotes the production of collagen, an essential protein for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
- In addition to fruits and vegetables, whole grains are also important for glowing skin. Whole grains like oats, quinoa and brown rice are rich in fiber and antioxidants, which contribute to healthy digestion and the elimination of toxins from the body. Optimal digestion is crucial to maintaining skin clarity and preventing skin problems such as acne.
- Essential fatty acidsare another key part of a skin-healthy diet. Oily fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help maintain skin hydration and reduce inflammation. Walnuts, flaxseeds and olive oil are also good sources of healthy fatty acids.
- It is also important to limit the consumption of processed foods, which are high in refined sugars and saturated fats. These foods can cause inflammation in the body, which is often reflected in skin problems such as pimples and redness. Instead, opt for fresh, natural foods that nourish your body from the inside out.
Finally, let's not forget the importance of hydration. Drinking enough water is essential to maintaining healthy, glowing skin.
Water helps eliminate toxins from the body and promotes optimal hydration of the skin, giving it a more supple and radiant appearance.
Prepare and protect your skin
Prepare your skin
The arrival of sunny days often sparks the desire to spend time outside, enjoying the sun and achieving a tanned complexion.
However, before you rush out into the sun's beneficial rays, it's essential to follow our tips for safe and responsible tanning to minimise the risk of damage and maximise the benefits.
By following a few simple steps, you can adequately prepare your skin and ensure atanned complexionwhile avoiding the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.
The first step in preparing your skin is toexfoliateregularly. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, revealing softer, smoother skin.
By removing these dead cells, you also promote a more even and long-lasting tan . Use a gentle scrub suited to your skin type once or twice a week.
Gently massage your face and body in circular motions, focusing on rough areas such as elbows, knees and heels. It is good to remove dead cells once a week by massaging your face and body with scrubs.
The skin will then be radiant, the complexion radiant, and ready to welcome the active ingredients of our sun supplements for a tanned complexion with a return from vacation effect. However, be careful not to exfoliate your skin excessively, as this can cause irritation.
Preparing and protecting your skin also involves the superficial layers, via topical care. ( How to tan when you have white skin? )
After exfoliation, the next step is to deeply moisturize your skin. Well-hydrated skin is healthier, more supple and more receptive to the benefits of the sun.
Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type and apply it generously all over your face and body. Dry skin types may benefit from a richer cream, while oily skin types may want to opt for a light, non-greasy lotion. You can also choose to nourish your skin from the inside out with our Absolute Nutrition Duo
We apply carrot oil in the evening, to nourish the skin and provide it with natural carotenoids, we use non-aggressive cosmetics such as BB creams which do not clog the pores of the skin and if possible, with a high SPF and enriched with vitamin C or E, which block skin aging induced by UV rays.
Sun powders can be applied for an even more pronounced healthy glow effect. Apply your treatments with a clean brush to avoid transferring microbes, which your skin hates.
Remember to choose a product with built-in sunscreen for added protection against UV rays.
Speaking of sun protection, it's imperative to apply sunscreen with an adequate sun protection factor (SPF) to prevent damage from UV rays. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that provides protection against UVA and UVB rays. Apply sunscreen liberally to all exposed parts of your body, including your face, neck, arms and legs. Remember to reapply every two hours, especially if you sweat or swim. For optimal protection, pair your sunscreen with protective clothing such as a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and light but covering clothing.
Avoid applying synthetic self-tanners, which are harmful to the skin and the environment. Especially the spray bottles..!
In addition to external preparations, it is essential to take care of your skin from the inside.
