Spring is a season of rebirth and renewal: nature blooms again and we too can give new life to our body. For our skin this is a very delicate moment: the changes in temperature make it very sensitive, the production of sebum increases and the first exposures to the sun expose us to the risk of spots and sunburn. .
During this period , the skin needs to regenerate to prepare for the summer and to be protected from the sun and irritants such as those present in smog or pollen. Taking care of the skin microbiome is very important, which will help us to overcome this period of stress in the best possible way.
Here are the fundamental steps to accompany our skin towards the beautiful season.
Cleansing
Proper cleansing is the first step to combat dull skin tone and protect our skin from external aggressions.
Choose a cleanser that suits your skin type, preferably with soothing, nourishing and hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, mallow, glycerin, chamomile. Massage it on your face and leave it to act for a few seconds, massaging the skin for a more thorough cleansing.
Double cleansing is a great choice: the oil cleanser removes makeup and impurities, while the foaming cleanser completes the cleansing for deeply, yet gently, cleansed skin.
Exfoliation
Exfoliation is an essential part of your beauty routine: it stimulates cell turnover and blood circulation and eliminates impurities, dead cells and smog.
A good exfoliation evens out the skin texture, making it brighter, softer and younger; the removal of dead cells improves the oxygenation of the skin and promotes the absorption of the active ingredients contained in cosmetic treatments.
Perform an exfoliating treatment every 15 days , using an exfoliating glove, a scrub, a gommage or a chemical peel. Apply the product to clean and dry skin, massaging delicately and insisting on the areas affected by wrinkles, spots, impurities and thickening. For a more delicate action you can apply the product to damp skin, so as to make it more delicate.
You can exfoliate your skin without the action of mechanical granules, thanks to an enzymatic peel. Fruit enzymes and AHAs remove dead cells to leave the skin smooth and smooth.
Hydration
After cleansing and exfoliating, always apply a moisturizer: it will help restore the skin's natural hydro-lipid film, protecting it from environmental stress.
Include products with probiotics in your routine to strengthen your microbiome : a healthy skin barrier protects you from redness, dryness, irritation, itching and skin blemishes.
Choose a product that suits your needs, with active ingredients selected for your skin type: for the face, always use a specific cream for the eye contour area, to avoid the risk of irritation!
If you have normal skin , you can choose a cream with a refreshing action, which will help you maintain a relaxed appearance, while if your skin is oily or combination , you will need a light cream with a sebum-balancing action.
For dry skin , choose a nourishing and regenerating cream, while if your skin is sensitive and delicate , choose a soothing product designed for reactive skin.
Protection
With the arrival of spring, our desire to be outdoors and enjoy the first warm rays of the sun increases, but be careful! Although the sun has many benefits for our body, it can cause damage to the skin with intense exposure. To avoid spots, discoloration and skin aging, it is important to protect the skin with a cream with a sun protection factor (SPF).
Choose broad-spectrum sunscreen and remember to reapply whenever you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors.

Diet
Healthy skin is first and foremost hydrated skin.
Drink at least 2 liters of water a day , to maintain the correct level of hydration, elasticity and avoid premature skin aging. If you can't drink that much water, you can include a good herbal tea in your daily routine to combat water retention and promote the elimination of liquids.
Follow a diet rich in seasonal fruit and vegetables : it will help you fill up on minerals, vitamins and mineral salts, excellent for ensuring an anti-aging action.
You can also use natural food supplements , which help you integrate vitamins and minerals essential for your well-being into your diet.
