Winter has been going on for a long time and that may be affecting our skin, there is no need to sound the alarm, but propose a routine that helps us regain a juicy and illuminated looking skin. It's also important to take note for next year, and be able to prevent it before it happens to us.
Why does our skin look dull? Like everything, due to a number of factors, which at this time of year are enhanced by the changing outdoor temperatures, dry heating systems, and a whole season of unpredictable clouds and vitamin D deficiency.

As we always say, there's no perfect routine, just the one that's best for you. And the best way to find it is by taking the time to get to know your skin so that it goes from being a problem to something that makes you feel good.
To achieve that freshness on the face, that spring skin, our routine aims for that light to emanate from within.The great advantage is that, by treating the skin from within the body, the results are completely natural and can be maintained over time.
Cosmetics play an important role in this, and we'll tell you which active ingredients you should use. But keep in mind that other habits and tips are important to achieve the full result. We'll tell you about them!
✺ THE BASICS: Get a good night's sleep, eat properly, control your sugar and alcohol intake, and keep your body hydrated: drink plenty of water!
✺ PREPARE YOUR HOUSE: Especially if you live in very dry climates, use a humidifier to reduce the added dryness caused by heating.
✺ ADD FOODS TO YOUR DIET: Eat olives, sunflower seeds, and nuts. These foods contain vitamin E, a super-important antioxidant that fights free radicals and, therefore, promotes more radiant skin. Include avocado and the well-known vitamin C-rich foods that are always associated with glowing skin (citrus fruits, kiwi, tomatoes, and broccoli).
✺ PLAY SPORTS: By improving blood circulation, exercise helps nourish skin cells and eliminate toxins, resulting in healthier, brighter skin.
Luminosity in 4 steps
Getting into cosmetics, let's start with the essentials: those routine steps that should always, always be present: daily cleansing (morning and night), exfoliation once a week, and sun protection.
Like everything, we can and should adapt them to our skin's needs. In this case, it's important not to use harsh cleansers. We recommend our Feel Calm handmade soap, and do a gentle exfoliation, which will help all these active ingredients we are going to add penetrate very well without causing any damage to skin that is already sensitive.

4. Hyaluronic Acid
You're probably already familiar with this nutricosmetic, but did you know it could also help you from the inside out?
It is a polysaccharide naturally present in our body and This molecule captures and retains water in the skin, thus playing a fundamental role in its hydration and firmness. As we age, our body's own production of this molecule decreases, so an extra dose is ideal for maintaining skin elasticity and thus preventing the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines.
We recommend taking two tablets a day, in a single dose, to enjoy its benefits.
Remember that the key to achieving radiant, fresh skin isn't just in the products we use, but in how we care for our entire body. A routine tailored to your needs, along with healthy habits, will allow you not only to recover that lost radiance, but also to maintain it all year long. Spring is within reach for your skin!
