HOW TO REGENERATE YOUR SKIN AFTER SUMMER

WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR SKIN IN SUMMER? Winter and summer are the two most difficult seasons for our skin. Both of these seasons provide us with extreme weather conditions: in winter - biting frost, in summer - unbearable heat. Very high and very low temperatures affect the skin in a similar way, i.e. they dry it out, damage its hydrolipid coating and make it susceptible to irritation and damage. Therefore, after each summer season, deep skin regeneration is necessary. WHAT DOES SKIN REGENERATION AFTER SUMMER INVENT? Skin regeneration after the summer can be carried out in several ways. One of the most popular is mesotherapy, a procedure performed in beauty salons, which involves the injection of nutrients and regenerative substances into the skin, such as vitamins (including A, B, C, E and K), minerals, coenzymes and nucleic acids - thanks to them, the skin returns to shape faster and once again delights with a healthy appearance. A similar effect can be achieved at home using care based on natural cosmetics for skin regeneration. WHAT NATURAL COSMETICS FOR FACIAL SKIN REGENERATION DO WE RECOMMEND? Natural cosmetics for facial skin regeneration, which are worth reaching for at the end of summer, are primarily preparations based on kali musli extract. This extraordinary Asian plant has a beneficial effect on the complexion, because it has strong anti-inflammatory, strengthening and long-lasting moisturizing properties - and this is exactly what tired skin needs after the holiday season. That is why, using this plant, among others, the following were created: kali musli face cream for the day and kali musli soothing treatment for the face for the night, two of the best natural cosmetics for skin regeneration. WHAT NATURAL COSMETICS FOR BODY SKIN REGENERATION DO WE RECOMMEND? Skin regeneration after summer should cover the whole body, not just the face. Although the hot sun and dry air have the strongest effect on the complexion, the rest of the body also requires special care after a difficult season. The best natural cosmetics for skin regeneration after summer are, of course, oils. We especially recommend the natural Indian jasmine body oil, which: intensely moisturizes and nourishes; effectively soothes irritations; delays the skin aging processes; strengthens the hydrolipid protective coating. This type of oil is the best thing we can give to our skin after the end of the holiday season. WHAT ELSE IS WORTH TAKING CARE OF TO REGENERATE YOUR SKIN AFTER SUMMER? In order for the skin to have a chance to fully regenerate after the summer, we should not only reach for the right cosmetics, but also, above all, remember to treat it gently. Let's not use rough towels or too hot water - tired and sensitive skin may react slightly allergically to this. Let's also take care of a well-balanced diet, after all, the appearance of our skin does not depend only on external care. It is best to take care of it comprehensively - both from the outside and from the inside.

SKIN AROUND THE EYES

The skin around the eyes requires a different care method than the rest of the facial skin. How can you ensure that you can enjoy a young, radiant look for a long time? Eye cream is an absolute must and we must invest in it, especially around the age of 25. That is when we start to notice fine lines and furrows under the eyes, and with time the first wrinkles. The skin around the eyes is very delicate and sensitive - it is up to 7 times thinner than in other parts of the face and has several dozen times fewer sebaceous glands. What's more, it has fewer collagen fibers. Hence, it quickly becomes dry, irritated, tight and less elastic. That is why it is important to sense the moment when we should start using eye cream! The consistency of the eye cream is important – it cannot be too heavy because the skin there is thin and delicate. Eye creams, compared to face creams, have a minimal amount of preservatives and very delicate scents to minimize the risk of allergies. What problems do we struggle with around the eyes most often and how to act? dark circles under the eyes , which make our face look tired and sad. Genes often have an influence on this, but also lack of sleep, fatigue or microcirculation disorders. In such a case, look for ingredients in the cream that improve the functioning of blood vessels, such as caffeine, arnica, butcher's broom, green tea or ginkgo biloba. You can also deal with dark circles by applying creams that optically brighten the skin due to the content of light-refracting ingredients, such as mica. • bags under the eyes , or puffiness around the eyes, which spoils our mood when we wake up in the morning. In this case, genetic conditions can also have an impact, but also an inappropriate diet (especially too much salt) or a bad lifestyle associated with lack of sleep. Lymphatic stasis is created, because blood around the eyes circulates slower. It is worth doing a massage of the eye area in the morning, which will improve microcirculation, and thus nourish and oxygenate the skin and help eliminate puffiness. A cold treatment performed, for example by tapping a cream chilled in the fridge, will work great. • crow's feet, also known as mimic wrinkles. At first, they only appear when we squint or laugh, but after some time they become permanent and add years to our look. How to deal with this? You should choose creams that contain anti-wrinkle substances such as stoechiol, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E. They will smooth and reduce wrinkles and increase skin firmness. An innovative plant complex will have intensive anti-wrinkle effects: ginger extracts (Zingiber Offinale) and Alpinia Officinarum extracts extracted in rapeseed oil (Brassica Campestris) - a complex rich in phenols and natural vitamin E, has strong antioxidant properties (35 times stronger than the base oil itself), helps protect the skin from factors that accelerate the ageing process, regenerates the barrier functions of the epidermis. Snail slime also has a beneficial effect on our youthful look, as it contains collagen and elastin, which strengthen the skin, giving it elasticity and flexibility, and mucopolysaccharides, which protect the skin from ageing, support the production of collagen and help maintain moisture. When taking care of the eye area, remember to remove make-up properly. Since you already know how delicate and sensitive the epidermis is there, when choosing a make-up remover, be guided by the content of soothing and calming extracts, vegetable oils. Do not rub or excessively stretch the skin around the eyes. Precise make-up removal is the first step to a beautiful, deep and rested look. The cream patted onto the clean skin around the eyes will be able to work properly and develop the power of its action!!!

KOKUM BUTTER – THE MOST KNOWN SKIN CARE BUTTER IN INDIA

Of the butters found in cosmetics, you probably associate shea butter the most, which is commonly used in cosmetics. In Orientana natural cosmetics, we very often use kokum butter. It is obtained from the seeds of kokam - a Garcinia Indica plant growing in India. Most often in the mountainous areas of the Indian coast - around Bombay and the Indian state of Goa. These seeds are very similar to the closely related mangosteen and are often confused with it. Kokum butter is a very healthy, ecological raw material due to its cultivation without the use of chemicals, sprays and fertilizers. It is also one of the hardest vegetable fats, which is why it is often used to produce lipsticks and lip balms. It is also an excellent base for body creams and balms and other care cosmetics. And all this for a reason! It absorbs very quickly and does not clog pores! In this entry, we will describe how many valuable properties kokum butter has. USE OF GARCINIA INDICA FRUITS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY The fruit is purple in color and is often used to color and flavor dishes. It is popular in India to extract juice from it, which has a beneficial, cooling effect on hot days and protects the body from dehydration. Another use of Garcinia Indica is as a weight loss aid. Kokum butter is also used as a substitute for cocoa butter in chocolate to raise the melting point of the chocolate and its melting at high temperatures. HOW IS BUTTER OBTAINED FROM GARCINIA INDICA? Garcinia Indica fruit contains 6 to 8 large seeds, which are 30-40% fat. The seeds are cold-pressed to produce oil, which is solid at room temperature and forms a hard butter. In order to soften it, it is recommended to combine it with other oils. In its pure form, it is quite dry and crumbles easily. It is white and beige in color. And what does it smell like? It smells subtly of nuts. WHAT VALUABLE INGREDIENTS DOES IT CONTAIN? It is a source of essential, unsaturated fatty acids, including omega acids, which support cell oxygenation and make nutrients easier to absorb through the skin. Additionally, kokum butter is a wealth of vitamin E! LET'S DISCOVER THE NUMEROUS PROPERTIES OF KOKUM BUTTER! This butter has strong moisturizing properties. It regenerates even the driest and roughest skin very quickly! It is an ideal choice for people struggling with dry, calloused parts of the body. Used regularly, it prevents skin from drying out, helps to heal cracks in the lips, hands or feet! It is often used in skin healing products. Kokum butter is a butter that immediately softens the epidermis and additionally leaves the skin more elastic and firm. Garcinia Indica fruit butter prevents skin from drying out and prevents water loss from the epidermis. It contains a whole range of antioxidants that delay the skin aging process. This natural butter is often used as a substitute for cocoa butter due to its uniform triglyceride composition. It works best in combination with other ingredients - then it becomes an ideal base and carrier of many valuable nutrients contained in Ayurvedic herbs! Products with kokum butter are a great choice for both summer and winter care. In summer, it will soothe sunburned skin and even out skin tone after an uneven tan, while in winter it will nourish dry, chapped skin. It will protect against frost and cold as well as dry air from radiators! In Orientana natural cosmetics, you will find kokum butter in Body Butters, Body Balms, Rich Creams from the Bio Ayurveda series or Lip Balms.

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS OF POLISH NATURAL COSMETICS

THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL INGREDIENTS For thousands of years, people have used natural substances, whether to improve their condition and health, or to treat or improve the condition of their skin. Natural medicine is the forerunner of natural cosmetics . Nature gives us many ingredients that we can use in natural cosmetics. These are thousands of raw materials, some of them easily available in Polish meadows and forests, and some from distant countries tested for thousands of years in Eastern medicine. Natural raw materials are a salvation for people surrounded by chemistry. It is worth emphasizing, however, that natural ingredients are not necessarily outdated. Nowadays, scientists have also returned to these ingredients and have studied them thoroughly. Scientists fascinated by traditional Asian medicine are studying Asian plants for use in medicines and cosmetics, and the results are sensational. Orientana has used these natural ingredients in our cosmetics. ASIAN PLANTS AND HERBS The most interesting ingredients used in natural cosmetics include Asian plants and herbs. Due to their origin, we will find them in Polish natural cosmetics. Their properties have been known for thousands of years and supported by scientific literature not only from ancient times but also by the latest scientific research. Natural cosmetics from Asian plants work effectively, especially those whose properties have been confirmed in Ayurveda, Chinese Natural Medicine and Tibetan Natural Medicine. Although difficult to access and unique due to their properties, they are sought after by many conscious and educated consumers. ALGAE AS AN INGREDIENT OF NATURAL COSMETICS Philippine Agave used in Orientana natural cosmetics are very rich in vitamins and microelements.

It is one of the most interesting cosmetic ingredients, but also an ingredient in food products. Amla is used to make tasty desserts and jams. It has a strengthening effect on the body. Amla used as an ingredient in natural cosmetics primarily strengthens the hair. It also works on the scalp, reducing inflammation and fighting dandruff. NOURISHING INGREDIENT OF NATURAL HAIR COSMETICS – CASSIA. Equally popular as amla, cassia, called neutral henna, is used in many natural hair conditioners. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties, so it has a beneficial effect on the scalp. Indian women use it for dermatitis, chronic inflammation and all kinds of problems related to the poor condition of the scalp. This small plant with yellow flowers, usually used in powder form, will repair the structure of the hair and make it soft and shiny. GINGER AS AN INGREDIENT OF NATURAL COSMETICS FOR THE FACE, BODY AND HAIR. Known mainly from the kitchen, ginger is a real treasure among the ingredients of natural cosmetics. Extremely rich in active substances, it has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. These aspects are perfect for facial cosmetics. Its antibacterial and sebum-limiting effects will help fight oily hair and inflammation of the scalp. We know from cooking recipes that ginger warms. Natural cosmetics with ginger will warm up our body, which will help increase circulation and fight cellulite and get rid of excess fat. IS IT WORTH USE OF SNAIL SLIME AS AN INGREDIENT OF NATURAL COSMETICS? Snail slime is a versatile ingredient. It is an active ingredient with a very strong effect. Rich in natural antibiotics, allantoin, glycolic acid, vitamins, collagen and elastin, it has a repairing, rejuvenating and regenerating effect, as well as soothing inflammation and irritated skin. In Asia, snail slime is often used after aesthetic medicine procedures and after deep surgical procedures. It also works on scars, causing them to disappear. Due to its versatile effect, snail slime can be used by people with mature skin who want to rejuvenate it, as well as young people with acne skin who want to eliminate acne. Currently, there are many cosmetics with snail slime on the market, but most of them are chemical cosmetics based on paraffin or other petroleum-derived ingredients. Orientana natural cosmetics with snail slime have a high natural composition and can boast that they are the first natural cosmetics with snail slime on the Polish market. JAPANESE ROSE – A SERIES OF NATURAL COSMETICS WITH A SCENTED ROSE Japanese Rose is mainly a component of oils and body butters. Orientana natural cosmetics also contain rose water, which you will find in the face tonic, among others. We use both rose petals and rose fruit.

Ashwagandha in cosmetics has anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. It is one of the most effective ingredients of natural cosmetics, which works perfectly in facial cosmetics. It is an active ingredient in facial scrubs and creams. PAPAYA Papaya is a fruit that we know and use in the kitchen. In Asia, papaya is used to make salads, desserts and soups. Asian women also use a papaya mask to whiten discolourations. The brightening effect in papaya is due to an enzyme called papain - it not only exfoliates discolourations but also protects the skin from discolourations. Papaya is an ingredient in a natural facial scrub, a natural face wash gel with rice particles, and also the Bio Essence Mask used at night. SAFFRON Saffron is one of the most expensive ingredients of natural cosmetics, which is why we rarely find it in the offer of other cosmetic companies. It was used thousands of years ago not only as a cosmetic but also as an aphrodisiac. Today, its effects have been confirmed by modern scientific research. Studies confirm that the active ingredients contained in saffron delay the skin aging process, limit the loss of moisture, inhibit the formation of discolorations and reduce the redness of irritated skin. Natural cosmetics with a high saffron content are primarily the Rich Cream and Hydrotherapy with Saffron Kumkumadi. KOREAN GINSENG Korean ginseng is a rare ingredient in Polish natural cosmetics. Unlike the weaker Siberian ginseng, it is much more difficult to obtain. Its cultivation is very limited, it occurs only in Asia. It is a recognized medicinal raw material. Scientists have discovered panaxoside in its composition. This is a highly active active substance that prolongs the life of cells, regenerates the skin and causes its rejuvenation. It can catch and destroy free radicals responsible for skin aging. It also has a detoxifying effect. You will find Korean ginseng in Bio Masks Essence for night skin care.

HOW TO CARE FOR THE DELICATE SKIN AROUND YOUR EYES

WHY IS THE SKIN AROUND THE EYES SO DELICATE? The skin around the eyes is very thin and therefore sensitive. Due to the fact that it contains a small amount of collagen fibers and sebaceous glands, it is prone to drying out and when it is not provided with sufficient moisture, it easily loses elasticity and ages quickly. That is why it is so important to constantly and carefully care for it using appropriate cosmetics. Natural face creams will help fight the passage of time by making the skin on the cheeks and forehead more elastic, but if we want to smooth out facial wrinkles, the first and biggest sign of aging, let's focus primarily on good natural eye creams or an eye mask. WHAT AFFECTS THE APPEARANCE OF THE SKIN UNDER THE EYES? Many factors affect the condition of the skin around the eyes, but if you constantly experience bruising and swelling in this area, the most likely culprits are: inappropriate diet sleep deprivation long-term stress improper care Sometimes the appearance of the skin under the eyes is genetically determined, but in most cases, appropriate cosmetics and systematic care are enough to restore freshness and radiance to the eyes. HOW TO CARE FOR THE SKIN AROUND THE EYES? It is not recommended to use regular, natural face creams for the skin around the eyes. Instead, it is better to choose products intended for use only on this part of the face - they are dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested, so we can be sure that we will not irritate the conjunctiva. In addition, in eye creams and masks we will find a completely different concentration of active ingredients than in typical, natural face creams, they also do not contain peeling substances and do not shrink the skin's pores like a natural face cream. WHICH NATURAL EYE CREAMS TO USE? When choosing an eye cream, special attention should be paid to its main active ingredient, because it determines the properties of the product. If we choose a natural eye cream with snail slime, we can be sure that it will regenerate, nourish and firm the skin around the eyes. On the other hand, a natural, complex, brightening and ultra-moisturizing bio eye cream containing Japanese honeysuckle extract will guarantee optimal hydration and brightening of the skin under the eyes. WHICH NATURAL EYE MASKS TO USE? Disposable eye masks are the easiest and fastest way to get rid of all imperfections in this part of the face, so it's worth having them with you at all times. Depending on your needs, you can choose a natural silk eye mask rosemary that eliminates puffiness, a natural silk eye mask cascarilla that smooths wrinkles, or a natural silk eye mask Japanese rose that moisturizes and brightens dark circles. Such masks can be used independently of natural face creams, or they can be combined if you want comprehensive facial skin care.

Natural cosmetics for tanning

Natural cosmetics for tanning The sun improves mood, stimulates the production of endorphins, improves the body's immunity and synthesizes vitamin D. But unfortunately it can also cause many negative effects on the skin and the health of the body. How to sunbathe healthily? First of all, it is important to remember that solar radiation reaches us all year round. Even when there are clouds in the sky, the sun still affects our skin. Therefore, it is worth using effective and high filters on exposed parts of the body all year round. The face, neckline and hands need protection all year round. But what about in the summer? When we spend the whole day on the beach, on the plot or visiting interesting places we have to take very conscious care of protecting our skin and our health. The most important rules: do not stay in full sun between 10am-3pm remember to use high filters throughout the day reapply sunscreens as needed drink plenty of water – check what is the right amount recommended for you wear airy and light clothes made of natural fabrics cover your head with a hat or scarf Lazing on a sun lounger in the sun is not healthy for you or your skin. UVB rays are responsible for the brown skin tone that appears during tanning, but also for sunburn. UVA rays, in turn, affect the deeper layers of the skin and we are not protected from them even when sitting behind a window. UVA does not produce immediate noticeable effects, but is responsible for skin photoaging. These rays affect us all year round and significantly accelerate the process of wrinkles, sagging skin, permanent discoloration and damage. On the beach, we need to protect ourselves from both types of radiation, and it is best to use a filter with ultra-high protection. A good choice for a beach outfit will be, for example , a natural glow balm , which protects in the full spectrum of radiation and also provides the highest possible protection, i.e. SPF 50+. Do natural sunscreens exist? On the web, you can find discussion forums or advice where some products are promoted as natural sunscreens. It is important to remember that a filter is a substance that has been tested and subjected to thorough research, which allowed to determine its protective effect on the skin. Such protection is expressed in specific numbers. No coconut oil, raspberry seed oil or other home concoctions will provide protection from solar radiation. If the cosmetic does not have an SPF or PPD marking and a description of which type of radiation it protects against (UVA and UVB), put it back on the shelf and do not be tempted by a low price or colorful label. The health of your skin is the most important thing. Labeling of tanning cosmetics SPF is an abbreviation for sun protective factor and the value given next to this abbreviation on the packaging indicates how many times you can extend the time you can spend in the sun without developing redness compared to unprotected skin. The SPF marking ends with 50+ - this is the highest indicator that can be used. It means that in detailed tests a given cosmetic has achieved a value higher than 50 and the law then allows the use of the + symbol with the number 50. It is recommended to use a factor with very high protection, i.e. at least SPF 30, and in the summer and in the sun definitely one with a value of 50. PPD is an abbreviation for persistent pigment darkening. This value is also marked with the UVA PF symbol, which means that as you can see, this indicator refers to one type of radiation. It is therefore known that a cosmetic marked in this way protects the skin from photoaging. According to the law, a product protects the skin from UVA when the SPF to UVA PF ratio is at least 3. For example, in the case of natural creams with Orientana filter, this indicator is as high as 17. Therefore, it is possible to place information on the packaging that these natural cosmetics also protect against UVA. Another system used to mark sun protection is the PA+ star system. It represents the PPD (UVA PF) value described above. In the case of a PPD value of 17, as in the case of Orientana natural sun cosmetics, the packaging could be marked PA ++++. How to choose natural tanning cosmetics? In addition to the most important sun protection factors described above, it is worth looking for cosmetics that will also have additional effects. In the case of the Orientana golden ginseng series, all natural cosmetics with SPF also provide: effective anti-aging care moisturizing and nourishing the skin protection against discoloration regeneration of the epidermis beautiful satin finish with a skin illuminating effect By choosing such versatile natural cosmetics with SPF, in addition to excellent and research-documented protection, we also receive comprehensive skin care. Types of filters in natural tanning cosmetics Some sunscreens only contain mineral filters. Unfortunately, this results in a heavy consistency. Such filters are difficult to spread on the skin, leaving a white layer on it, so they are only useful on the beach. It is hard to imagine a natural, urban cream with a filter that leaves a white layer of cream on the face. Then you cannot apply make-up either. In natural cosmetics with SPF, a mixture of organic and mineral filters works best. This provides a light consistency and definitely improves the comfort of using the products. There is no question of whitening the skin, streaking or difficult application of the cosmetic. Additionally, such a combination of filters allows you to create optimal protection in both the UVA and UVB radiation spectrum. A series of natural tanning cosmetics Excessive exposure of the skin to sunlight is definitely not recommended, but the sun cannot be avoided. And besides, it gives us joy and happiness and in reasonable doses has a beneficial effect on both health and beauty. That is why the Polish brand of natural cosmetics Orientana has created a series of natural cosmetics with SPF , which are suitable for everyday use and for occasional stays at the beach. And they can be used all year round. Natural cosmetics for tanning The sun improves mood, stimulates the production of endorphins, improves the body's immunity and synthesizes vitamin D. But unfortunately it can also cause many negative effects on the skin and the health of the body. How to sunbathe healthily?

On the beach, we need to protect ourselves from both types of radiation, and it is best to use a filter with ultra-high protection. A good choice for a beach outfit will be, for example , a natural glow balm , which protects in the full spectrum of radiation and also provides the highest possible protection, i.e. SPF 50+. Do natural sunscreens exist? On the web, you can find discussion forums or advice where some products are promoted as natural sunscreens. It is important to remember that a filter is a substance that has been tested and subjected to thorough research, which allowed to determine its protective effect on the skin. Such protection is expressed in specific numbers. No coconut oil, raspberry seed oil or other home concoctions will provide protection from solar radiation. If the cosmetic does not have an SPF or PPD marking and a description of which type of radiation it protects against (UVA and UVB), put it back on the shelf and do not be tempted by a low price or colorful label. The health of your skin is the most important thing. Labeling of tanning cosmetics SPF is an abbreviation for sun protective factor and the value given next to this abbreviation on the packaging indicates how many times you can extend the time you can spend in the sun without developing redness compared to unprotected skin. The SPF marking ends with 50+ - this is the highest indicator that can be used. It means that in detailed tests a given cosmetic has achieved a value higher than 50 and the law then allows the use of the + symbol with the number 50. It is recommended to use a factor with very high protection, i.e. at least SPF 30, and in the summer and in the sun definitely one with a value of 50. PPD is an abbreviation for persistent pigment darkening. This value is also marked with the UVA PF symbol, which means that as you can see, this indicator refers to one type of radiation. It is therefore known that a cosmetic marked in this way protects the skin from photoaging. According to the law, a product protects the skin from UVA when the SPF to UVA PF ratio is at least 3. For example, in the case of natural creams with Orientana filter, this indicator is as high as 17. Therefore, it is possible to place information on the packaging that these natural cosmetics also protect against UVA. Another system used to mark sun protection is the PA+ star system. It represents the PPD (UVA PF) value described above. In the case of a PPD value of 17, as in the case of Orientana natural sun cosmetics, the packaging could be marked PA ++++. How to choose natural tanning cosmetics? In addition to the most important sun protection factors described above, it is worth looking for cosmetics that will also have additional effects. In the case of the Orientana golden ginseng series, all natural cosmetics with SPF also provide: effective anti-aging care moisturizing and nourishing the skin protection against discoloration regeneration of the epidermis beautiful satin finish with a skin illuminating effect By choosing such versatile natural cosmetics with SPF, in addition to excellent and research-documented protection, we also receive comprehensive skin care. Types of filters in natural tanning cosmetics Some sunscreens only contain mineral filters. Unfortunately, this results in a heavy consistency. Such filters are difficult to spread on the skin, leaving a white layer on it, so they are only useful on the beach. It is hard to imagine a natural, urban cream with a filter that leaves a white layer of cream on the face. Then you cannot apply make-up either. In natural cosmetics with SPF, a mixture of organic and mineral filters works best. This provides a light consistency and definitely improves the comfort of using the products. There is no question of whitening the skin, streaking or difficult application of the cosmetic. Additionally, such a combination of filters allows you to create optimal protection in both the UVA and UVB radiation spectrum. A series of natural tanning cosmetics Excessive exposure of the skin to sunlight is definitely not recommended, but the sun cannot be avoided. And besides, it gives us joy and happiness and in reasonable doses has a beneficial effect on both health and beauty. That is why the Polish brand of natural cosmetics Orientana has created a series of natural cosmetics with SPF , which are suitable for everyday use and for occasional stays at the beach. And they can be used all year round.

Kremy do cery dojrzałej - jak wybrać najlepszy ? Sprawdź 5 kremów Orientana

Jako osoba z cerą dojrzałą wybrałam dla was dziś pięć kremów do pielęgnacji twarzy. Wiadomo, że cera dojrzała wymaga szczególnej troski i starannie dobranej pielęgnacji. Wraz z upływem lat w skórze zachodzą naturalne procesy starzenia: spada produkcja kolagenu i elastyny, bariera hydrolipidowa staje się słabsza, a zdolność do zatrzymywania wody w naskórku - mniejsza. Efektem są utrata jędrności, zmarszczki, suchość oraz zmiany w kolorycie skóry. Prawidłowo dobrany krem do cery dojrzałej nie tylko odżywia i nawilża, ale również wspomaga procesy regeneracji, stymuluje odnowę komórkową i chroni skórę przed czynnikami zewnętrznymi. Marka Orientana oferuje szeroką gamę kremów stworzonych z myślą o potrzebach skóry dojrzałej, bazując na naturalnych składnikach aktywnych inspirowanych tradycjami azjatyckiej pielęgnacji. Czym charakteryzuje się cera dojrzała? Aby dobrać odpowiedni krem, warto poznać cechy i potrzeby skóry w dojrzałym wieku. Cera dojrzała może pojawić się już po 35. roku życia, a jej oznaki nasilają się z czasem. Typowe objawy to: Zmniejszona elastyczność  skóra staje się mniej sprężysta z powodu spadku kolagenu i elastyny. Zmarszczki i bruzdy - zarówno drobne linie mimiczne, jak i głębsze zmarszczki. Przebarwienia i nierówny koloryt - wynik działania promieni UV, zmian hormonalnych i procesów starzenia. Utrata gęstości skóry - twarz może wyglądać na zmęczoną, mniej jędrną. Suchość i wrażliwość - osłabiona bariera ochronna powoduje szybszą utratę wilgoci. Spowolniona regeneracja - wolniejszy proces odnowy komórkowej wymaga silniejszych składników aktywnych. Cera dojrzała potrzebuje więc kosmetyków regenerujących, ujędrniających, nawilżających i antyoksydacyjnych. Idealne kremy łączą składniki wspierające odnowę skóry i chroniące przed dalszymi uszkodzeniami. 5 kremów Orientana idealnych dla cery dojrzałej Krem do twarzy Ashwagandha - regeneracja i ochrona Bogaty w ekstrakt z ashwagandhy, silnego adaptogenu o właściwościach antyoksydacyjnych.
