Protein and hydration for curly hair: do we really need them?
A thick head of curly hair is certainly very impressive, but managing it is certainly no small task. In fact, they are very often typically unruly and require very delicate care and attention to make them shiny, soft and disciplined. But is it really necessary to use hydrating or protein-containing products? Curly Hair: Characteristics and Treatments That Work Hair has a life cycle that depends on the metabolism of the hair bulb. The hair follicle, or bulb, is the structure where hair and hair of the entire human body are born. Whether the hair is straight or curly depends mainly on the shape of the bulb itself. Curly hair grows from a bulb that is shaped like a “J”. The other factors that make up curly hair are: • Irregular keratin • Humidity in the atmosphere • Taking certain medications • Stimulated hormonal changes Curly hair is difficult to manage and this is due to the fact that the sebum cannot be distributed evenly. This can cause dry hair, frizzy hair, dandruff and scalp irritation. This is why when choosing products to treat your curly hair you need to pay particular attention to some characteristics : Shine : Curly hair does not absorb light evenly, which is why you should always choose products that promote shine in your hair. Hydration: sebum, not adhering properly to curly hair, makes them dry. Hence the reason why you should also consider this factor when choosing products for you. Definition: dealing with curly hair, typically unruly and messy, can be unnerving. But using the right products you will not have problems. In this sense, remember to consider: shape, length and structure of your curly hair. Fighting all these problems can help you solve the typical complications of curly hair, which is also naturally more fragile. This is why you need to take care of your curly hair with more attention than you would for straight hair. Proteins and hydration for curly hair If you are still wondering whether providing protein and hydration for your curly hair is really necessary, know that the answer is that they are essential. In fact, proteins make up almost 90% of the hair fiber (keratin is the major constituent part). If you use products that provide additional proteins to your hair, you will help it to strengthen! Be careful not to overdo it with these products, though, because too much protein will end up weighing down and weakening your curly hair, rather than strengthening it. Hydration of your curly hair is essential to properly cleanse the scalp and thus combat the annoying frizzy effect typical of curly hair. Use water-based products for this purpose with the addition of even more hydrating components (for example Aloe Vera) and absolutely avoid those with an alcohol base.

Fabric Face Masks: What They Are and How to Use Them
The world of fabric face masks Sheet face masks are concentrated and targeted cosmetic products . Regular use of these products gives the skin of the face a fresh, toned and purified appearance. Although most face masks are cream masks, sheet masks have recently become very popular . Both types are ready to use and require no preparation, they are simply applied to the skin. Specifically, however, fabric face masks are disposable products whose fabric is soaked in a highly concentrated serum. Compared to creams, this type of product owes its better effectiveness to the possibility of exploiting a higher concentration of active ingredients and to the occlusive effect (or “patch”). Some of these fabric face masks are made of pure cellulose and can therefore be disposed of with organic waste. Why Sheet Face Masks Are Essential to Your Beauty Routine If you have a beauty routine and you're missing face masks, you don't have a truly, truly effective beauty routine :) Think that with just one application of a sheet face mask , the skin can absorb the same active ingredients that it would normally absorb in a week of applying creams! This is due to the patch effect which creates the ideal conditions for the absorption of the active ingredients , as well as ensuring that the benefits are visible immediately. The essential characteristics of a face mask The most suitable fabric face mask for you should not only meet a series of essential requirements, it must also take into account the characteristics of the skin on which it will be applied. Let's see some features: Moisturize dry skin. Purify. Give elasticity. Stimulate microcirculation to make the skin even and luminous. Help the skin defend itself from external aggressions. Counteract skin aging with an anti-aging effect. Promote the absorption of active ingredients. There are so many ingredients that can be included in a face mask, ingredients that will be mixed and chosen based on the action that the product will have on the face! Nutritious ingredients such as oils, vegetable butters. Moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera. Purifying and astringent ingredients, for example plant extracts such as rosemary or certain clays. Nourishing and repairing ingredients such as vitamin E, zinc oxide, some vegetable oils and butters. Anti-aging ingredients such as the aforementioned hyaluronic acid , bisabolol, azelaic acid, ginger or argan extracts. Brightening and depigmenting ingredients such as azelaic acid. Exfoliating ingredients such as fruit acids. How do sheet face masks work and how are they used? The highly concentrated active substances present in the tissue face masks are released thanks to the natural heat of the skin. The application time, on the other hand, helps the serum to be absorbed. Before application Fabric face masks should be applied to thoroughly cleansed skin. Thoroughly cleansing the skin with a gentle but effective product is essential. Then, dedicate yourself to a deep cleansing using a facial exfoliant, preferably silica or cellulose based. The application The steps for a correct application are simple: • Shake the bag well so that the mask absorbs as much serum as possible: the serum tends to settle at the bottom. • Open the bag and spread the fabric out over your face, making sure it adheres well. • Leave on for 15-25 minutes and enjoy the relaxation! • Remove the mask After application It may happen that when removing the mask some serum residue remains. In these cases, it is massaged delicately to promote its absorption in order to exploit its potential to the maximum. It is good to remember that these masks can also be used 2-3 times a week, possibly varying the type. The benefits of sheet face masks The benefits you get from using fabric face masks are visible almost immediately and very surprising , especially if you use them consistently and regularly. Thanks to filler-effect tissue face masks , for example , you can plump up the skin and smooth out wrinkles. In this bamboo face mask you will find botox-effect peptides that reduce wrinkles and expression lines and have a reshaping action on the oval of the face.

Facial Boosters: What They Are and How to Use Them Best
Facial boosters are special, highly concentrated skincare treatments. Each booster contains a specific active ingredient or mix of ingredients in concentrations that are usually higher than those you normally find in serums and creams. Facial boosters allow you to adapt your skincare to the needs of your skin , which may be different from day to day or based on the different areas of your face. For example, if you have dry skin in some areas of your face and oily in others , you can customize your routine by using hydrating and purifying facial boosters on the different areas. How to match facial boosters Which facial boosters should you use to prevent wrinkles? Which facial boosters to use for skin blemishes? Which facial boosters to use for impure skin? Which facial boosters should I use for dry, sensitive skin with redness? Which facial boosters to use for mature skin? How to match facial boosters Once you have chosen the facial booster that best suits your needs, you can use it: pure on cleansed and toned skin; in addition to your serum or cream. As with all skincare products, the order in which you apply the products is important. Even with boosters, you need to take the texture of the product into account : apply the lighter, water-based products first, followed by the more full-bodied products containing oils. In addition to this simple rule, the pH of the cosmetic should also be taken into account: we should apply products with a more acidic pH first and then products with a pH more similar to that of the skin. It is not always possible to know the pH of a product, but we can follow a general rule based on the ingredients: products containing AHA (glycolic, mandelic, lactic acid), BHA (salicylic acid) and vitamin C have a generally acidic pH and should therefore be applied first; Products containing Niacinamide and Retinol have a more neutral pH and should therefore be applied last. Also be careful not to put products with very different pHs one after the other, for example first a facial booster with glycolic acid and then one with niacinamide because the skin could become sensitive and irritated.

What does comedogenic mean and comedogenic ingredients
Comedogenic is a term we often read, but what does it mean? And what are the ingredients classified as comedogenic? Who should pay attention to them? Comedogenic: the meaning Comedogenic ingredients are all those ingredients that cause or facilitate comedogenesis on the skin, or the appearance of blackheads. Comedogenesis Comedogenesis , which literally means the birth of comedones (blackheads), is a process in our body and is closely related to sebaceous hyperplasia, or the excess of sebocytes, the cells that form the sebaceous glands. The latter are present almost all over the body but are particularly concentrated on the face and in the T-zone - chin, nose, forehead. Their job is to produce sebum that lubricates our skin and protects it by forming a barrier. Sebum mixes with pollution, dust, environmental dirt, dead skin cells then begins the process that leads to the formation of blackheads. It is not a fast inflammation process, like acne, it is a slow process that lasts several days. Comedogenesis can have several linked causes , some have internal origins, for example hormonal activity and genetic predisposition, or have external origins and one of these is linked to cosmetics. Fatty acids , substances that mainly compose oils , enter the follicular duct and block it, preventing the sebum from exiting easily, which then accumulates and forms blackheads. Comedogenic ingredients When we talk about comedogenic ingredients we are referring to fatty acids, oils and waxes that create a film on our skin and that are likely to create blackheads by triggering the process of comedogenesis. It should be noted, however, that the start of the process depends mainly on your skin type and the interaction with a particular ingredient, so you should try and also take into account the season, hot or cold. When it is hot, the skin produces more sebum and needs less external help, unlike when temperatures are lower: if it is hot, the skin produces more sebum, when it is cold, however, less because the cold dries out and the skin needs more protection. Is an oil always comedogenic? Vegetable oils, except jojoba, are made up of more than 95% fatty acids but with different molecular weights. The molecular weight determines the melting point and therefore the liquid or solid state at room temperature. All fluid oils such as almond, olive, linseed, rosehip, argan are potentially non-comedogenic. Furthermore, if some oils are applied individually and can lead to the formation of blackheads in a given period, it is not certain that if inserted in the formulation of the cosmetic they will lead to the same consequence. But then what are comedogenic ingredients? As we were saying, there are potentially comedogenic ingredients and ingredients that are almost certainly considered comedogenic. All vegetable oils have a comedogenic potential but not significant, and the possible comedogenesis depends most of the time on the type of skin, climatic conditions and the quantities applied. Synthetic ingredients, on the other hand, are completely occlusive for pores and are very likely to generate blackheads and imperfections. We are talking about paraffins, petrolatums, silicones and mineral oils: Liquid paraffin Petrolatum Mineral oil Microcrystalline wax Heavy silicones These comedogenic ingredients are contained in large quantities in conventional cosmetics. If your skin is prone to blackheads and other imperfections, choose suitable products like those we recommend in our skincare routine for oily skin.

Peptides: What They Are and Why Use Them
Have you heard of peptides ? They are the latest generation ingredients in the world of anti-aging cosmetics, true allies for younger and more toned skin. Peptides are naturally found in our bodies and play a key role in keeping skin toned, elastic and firm. What are peptides? Think of peptides as tiny messengers that communicate with your skin cells. When multiple peptides join together, they form proteins like collagen, elastin, and keratin. These proteins are essential to our skin because they give it tone and elasticity, fighting wrinkles and sagging skin. Why include peptides in cosmetics? Applied to the skin, peptides act in several ways: They stimulate the production of collagen and elastin: these two elements are responsible for the structure and support of the skin. With age, their production decreases, causing wrinkles and skin laxity. Peptides help stimulate the production of these proteins, making the skin firmer and more compact. Reduce wrinkles and fine lines: Peptides can help smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, giving skin a smoother, more even appearance. Improve skin elasticity and tone: peptides help make the skin more elastic and toned, counteracting the signs of aging. Protects skin from free radical damage: Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage skin cells. Peptides help protect skin from free radical damage, preventing premature aging. There are different types of peptides, each with its own specific functions. Some peptides are more effective at reducing wrinkles, while others are more effective at improving skin elasticity. It is important to choose the right product based on your specific needs. Peptides in cosmetics: classification and functions The ones you find in cosmetics are called biomimetic peptides , which imitate the action of natural peptides produced by our body. Signal Peptides They stimulate or inhibit processes such as the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin firmer and more toned. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 : Stimulate collagen synthesis and inhibit the enzymes that degrade it. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 : Stimulates the synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycans. Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 : Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin firmer. Palmitoyl Heptapeptide-5 : Stimulates collagen synthesis. Enzyme inhibitory peptides They slow down collagen degradation or reduce pigmentation. Oligopeptide-20 : Activates wound healing mechanisms. Dipeptide-2 and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 : Improve lymphatic drainage, reducing bags and dark circles. Neurotransmitter inhibitory peptides By reducing communication between nerves and muscles, they reduce expression lines. Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-19 : Reduces the contraction of mimic muscles, diminishing expression wrinkles. Acetyl-hexapeptide-8 : Works as a muscle relaxant, reducing the visibility of wrinkles after a few days of use. Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 : Reduces muscle contraction and stimulates the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate : Penetrates deeply into the skin, acting on wrinkles caused by facial movements. How to choose a cosmetic with peptides? As we have seen, there are different types of peptides available, each with its own function. For an even more effective action on the skin, I recommend you choose a product that combines different peptide technologies, so that it can act on multiple fronts for the well-being of your skin. B-Like Serum Yuniwa Cosmetics is a face serum with 4 different peptide technologies for: reduce the depth of wrinkles stimulate collagen synthesis inhibit muscle contractions to relax the face In addition to peptides, this anti-aging face serum contains precious hydrating, plumping and protective ingredients such as: cross-linked hyaluronic acid, with plumping and hydrating action mix of amino acids, which keep the skin healthy and luminous by protecting it from free radicals brewer's yeast extracts , which protect the skin barrier to reduce blemishes and imperfections B-Like Serum is a serum suitable for all skin types, oil-free, fragrance-free, plumps and smoothes the skin for a healthier and brighter appearance.

Xerosis: Causes, Symptoms and Remedies for Very Dry Skin
Many people have had to deal with xerosis cutis in their lives. Xerosis is the excessive dryness of the skin. If neglected it becomes severe and can negatively affect health. What is Xerosis Cutis? Xerosis cutis is the medical term for severely dry skin. Xerosis manifests itself with very dry skin in a visible and tangible way, rough and tense to the point of being extremely rough as well as flaky, cracked and itchy. It happens when the skin is not adequately hydrated due to internal factors, especially genetic ones. The skin's ability to regulate its own amount of water in the most superficial layers depends on two main factors: Hygroscopic molecules that reside in the epidermis. They are the molecules of urea, lactate, PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid), salts and amino acids that attract and bind water. The effectiveness of the skin's lipid barrier which regulates the natural evaporation process through which the skin loses water. A delicate system that balances the skin's need for hydration based on the external environment. However, there are external (exogenous) factors that can alter the skin barrier and cause dryness. Xerosis of the skin manifests itself in a serious way with the presence of all these symptoms at the same time: Skin tension and roughness: the amount of dead cells increases significantly and a superficial layer forms that pulls and roughens the skin. The skin cracks : the stratum corneum is dry and not ductile. The skin peels because little pieces of skin lift and peel off. Itching is a consequence of dryness. Sensitivity is directly caused by the dryness of the skin. The skin is attacked by irritants such as hot water, perfumes and chemicals. Dry skin can occur anywhere on the body, in large or small areas. Xerosis: the possible causes As we said above, the two main deficiencies that lead to very dry skin are Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) deficiency . NMFs attract water and bind it in the stratum corneum and the top layer of the skin, the epidermis. Lipid deficiency in the protective barrier, epidermal lipids bind cells in the stratum corneum and form the water-binding barrier inside.

Acne: what it is and what are the causes and remedies
Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory dermatosis, a skin disease. Widely spread in the most industrialized countries, it appears during puberty, juvenile acne, which corresponds to important hormonal changes. Many young people, about 20-30%, need pharmacological treatments. Acne can last into late adulthood. Find out how to treat it with natural remedies. How does acne manifest itself? Acne manifests itself with oily skin , the appearance of open comedones, blackheads, and closed comedones, whiteheads. In more severe cases, the skin becomes red and very inflamed papules and pustules appear. The most affected areas are the face, neck, shoulders, chest and back. Acne also affects you emotionally, often persists for a long time and can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) with dark spots as well as scarring. What contributes to acne? The main linked factors are seborrhea, hyperkeratosis, bacterial colonization and inflammation. Seborrhea That is, the excessive production of sebum. The sebaceous glands secrete sebum, a fatty substance that lubricates and protects the skin and hair. There are several factors that can stimulate the formation of sebum, such as hormones, climate, some medications and a genetic predisposition can lead to an imbalance in sebum production which becomes excessive. Hyperkeratosis Hyperkeratosis is a thickening of the stratum corneum of the skin, the most superficial one. Dead skin cells, corneocytes, block the ducts of the sebaceous glands and so the sebum remains inside the hair follicle causing swelling and the formation of a closed comedo (whitehead) or an open comedo (blackhead). Microbial colonization The bacteria that normally populate the skin multiply excessively and colonize the blocked follicles and lead to the formation of pustules and cysts. The inflammation The skin becomes inflamed and red. Often the follicular wall bursts, releasing lipids, fatty acids, corneocytes, bacteria and cell fragments, and this causes extensive inflammation of the skin. Causes and triggers of acne The hormones They play a central role , hence the greater number of adolescents affected by acne. In adolescence the increase in androgen hormones increases the production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. In the development of acne, not only the amount of hormones present is important but also an increased sensitivity of the sebaceous glands. The vast majority of acne cases resolve spontaneously after adolescence but it is important to have targeted treatments to avoid showing signs. Even in adulthood hormones have an impact, for example in cases of polycystic ovary syndrome or during pregnancy, women are highly likely to suffer from acne. Psychological stress One factor that can trigger acne is moments of severe psychological stress. Genetics If both parents have had acne, the child is more likely to develop it. Similarly, if one or both parents had acne as adults, their children are also more likely to have acne as adults. The drugs Certain medications, such as steroids and lithium, stimulate the appearance of acne. Some factors aggravate acne symptoms: a diet too rich in sugars and white flour excessive consumption of cow's milk cigarette smoke conventional makeup that clogs pores with silicones etc. comedogenic skin products Good rules to follow to discourage the appearance or worsening of acne Use warm water and a non-aggressive detergent. Don’t pop pimples, as doing so spreads bacteria around the skin and triggers further inflammation as well as causing scarring. Always remove makeup thoroughly, Natural remedies for acne skin Treatment because there is no real cure. Those who have pure impure skin with acne tendency must adopt a routine of cleansing and application of only specific products. If you are taking any pharmacological treatments for acne, you should always integrate them with adequate hydration because they can dehydrate the skin.
