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.

We used exosomes - Do you know them?

In recent years, cosmetology and aesthetic medicine have increasingly reached for solutions inspired by biological mechanisms of body regeneration. We see that the number of treatments with the latest discoveries confirmed by scientific clinical studies is growing. One of the newest and most promising discoveries in this field are exosomes – microscopic extracellular vesicles that play a key role in skin cell communication. Exosomes are naturally produced during cellular processes and are secreted by various cell types, including stem cells, fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Their main task is to transport signaling substances – such as proteins, peptides, RNA and lipids – that regulate skin regeneration, skin healing and skin barrier reconstruction. The interest in regenerative therapies in cosmetology is systematically growing. We are increasingly looking for cosmetics and treatments that not only mask the signs of aging, but actually improve the condition of the skin at the cellular level. These modern intercellular communication systems fit perfectly into this trend as a component with a strong repair and anti-inflammatory effect, which supports the natural mechanisms of the cells of the dermis. Thanks to the ability to transfer information between cells, exosomes open a new chapter in regenerative cosmetology. What are exosomes? These are nano-vesicular structures of cellular origin that act as information transmitters between cells. They are tiny, lipid-membrane-enclosed vesicles with a diameter of 30–150 nanometers that are naturally secreted by various types of cells. They are formed inside the cell in so-called multivesicular bodies and then released into the extracellular space. Their primary task is to transport bioactive molecules – such as proteins, lipids, microRNA, growth factors and enzymes – to other cells, thereby initiating and regulating various biological processes, including the acceleration of skin regeneration , immune response and the course of inflammation. They can be obtained from different types of cells, which affects their biological properties and application. In cosmetology and aesthetic medicine, exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are most often used, because they contain a particularly rich set of regenerative and anti-inflammatory factors. Other sources of exosomes include keratinocytes (cells of the epidermis), fibroblasts (cells responsible for the production of collagen and elastin) and immune cells. The type of cell from which these biological signalling vesicles come determines their function – some are more effective in accelerating skin regeneration, others have better anti-inflammatory or immunomodulatory properties, and still others are used to improve skin tone and rejuvenate the skin. Although they are often compared to other active ingredients, such as peptides or cytokines, they differ fundamentally. While these substances act individually and locally, biological signaling nanovesicles are complex “delivery systems” for multiple biological signals simultaneously. Scientific clinical studies have shown that they are able to deliver their charges to the interior of cells in a targeted manner, which significantly increases their effectiveness. Thanks to the lipid coating, their content does not degrade in contact with the environment, and their microscopic size allows them to penetrate deeper layers of the skin. In other words, they not only deliver active ingredients, but also "teach" cells how to behave - for example, how to start skin cell renewal, calm inflammation or initiate collagen production. These are wonderful ingredients that work effectively on skin aging. Serum with exosomes from Orientana One of the best Orientana cosmetics is the modern Serum with exosomes. Hydro-Moisturizing Serum for facial skin. Exosomes used in this cosmetic come from Calendula Officinalis Meristem Cell Culture stem cells, Biological signal nanobubbles used in the serum act at the cellular level, which is why visible wrinkle reduction is observed. They stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, restoring skin firmness and improving skin tension. Additionally, they contribute to increasing skin thickness, which improves its structure and resistance to external factors. By strengthening the hydrolipid barrier, thanks to the reinforcement with snow mushroom extract (tremella), they provide intensive skin hydration, and their brightening properties make the skin more uniform, which is manifested by smoothing and soothing existing discolorations. The effect is a healthier, younger and more radiant appearance of the skin. The serum not only effectively supports regenerative processes and improves the appearance of the skin, but is especially appreciated by skin prone to breakouts and shine. After use, there is an immediate improvement in color, the complexion is full of radiance, and the skin is less oily. Exosomes in Serum - InnovaStemCell Calendula® Exosomes obtained from InnovaStemCell Calendula® W significantly improve the appearance, structure and condition of the skin. This ingredient reduces wrinkles, intensively moisturizes, smoothes, brightens and evens out the skin tone. Additionally, it has a soothing and anti-aging effect, and the effects are visible after 2-4 weeks of regular use. InnovaStemCell Calendula® Studies Have Shown: Wrinkle reduction: After 28 days of using the cream with 4% InnovaStemCell Calendula® W, wrinkle depth decreased by an average of 38.3% , while in the placebo group only by 6.25%. Intensive hydration: A preparation with 4% of this ingredient improved the skin's moisture level by as much as 74.17% after 28 days, and after just 14 days the increase in moisture was over 42%. Increasing skin thickness and elasticity: Visible "filling" and thickening of the skin - after 4 weeks, skin thickness increased by an average of 58.3% and elasticity by 23.3% . Smoothing and brightening the complexion: Skin became smoother ( 59% increase) and brighter and more radiant ( 25.8% increase in skin brightness after 28 days). Reduction of discoloration: Participants noticed a significant reduction in discoloration and acne scars ( 33.3% reduction in pigmentation). Color evenness: Skin tone evenness improved by 54.2% after one month of use. High tolerance and safety: Studies have shown no side effects or irritations even at higher concentrations of the ingredient. Exosomes in aesthetic medicine Biological signal vesicles in aesthetic treatments are an innovative technology that revolutionizes the approach to tissue regeneration. These microscopic extracellular vesicles (30–150 nm in size), naturally secreted by cells, especially stem cells with the main task of transmitting biological signals, contain growth factors, RNA, peptides, enzymes and lipids that support intercellular communication. Thanks to this, they are able to activate skin regeneration processes without the need for direct administration of cells. Exosome treatments are becoming increasingly popular in professional medical cosmetology clinics. They are most often combined with technologies that disrupt the epidermal barrier, such as microneedling (e.g. dermapen), fractional laser or microneedle radiofrequency. Exosome treatments using this technique make them reach deeper layers of the skin faster, where they stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, improving firmness, elasticity and the overall condition of the skin. They also have strong anti-inflammatory properties, which shortens the recovery time and reduces the risk of complications after invasive procedures. In aesthetic medicine, exosomes are used not only in anti-aging therapies. They are also successfully used in reducing acne scars, discolorations, treating atopic dermatitis, sun damage or in therapies for sensitive and reactive skin. Biological signal vesicles also support the treatment of androgenetic and telogen effluvium by stimulating hair growth and improving microcirculation of the scalp. Their action is not only based on a temporary aesthetic effect, but on deep, biological tissue regeneration. ASCE Exosomes In aesthetic treatments, the ASCE™ exosome treatment has gained great popularity. ASCE exosomes (Advanced Stem Cell Exosome) are an advanced form of cell-derived exosomes, most often obtained from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), and are designed to maximize regenerative and anti-aging effects. ASCE exosomes are produced in controlled laboratory conditions using strict protocols, ensuring their high purity, safety and repeatability. They are free of DNA, cell nucleus and contaminants, which distinguishes them from some other biological preparations. They contain over 200 types of proteins, peptides, cytokines, growth factors, lipids and RNA, and are most often used in the treatment of aging skin, with discolorations, to eliminate acne scars, to stimulate hair growth or as preparations supporting tissue healing after procedures (e.g. micro-needling, laser, HIFU). They are available both as a component of professional cosmetics and in the form of ampoules for microneedle mesotherapy. They are often used in combination with transdermal therapies (e.g. microneedling, dermapen), which increases their bioavailability. They work well as a regenerative treatment with a deep effect. The ASCE exosome treatment gives very good results, but costs several thousand zlotys, e.g. the Dermapen treatment costs around 3 thousand zlotys. The duration of the treatment is 15-30 minutes. Number of treatments - from 3 to 5 at intervals of 3-4 weeks. Contraindications to the treatment include pregnancy and breastfeeding, autoimmune diseases or neoplastic diseases. The mechanism of action of exosomes on the skin They exhibit an extremely versatile biological effect, which makes them exceptional ingredients in regenerative cosmetology. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that they are not a single active ingredient, but a complex carrier of bioactive molecules, capable of modifying the behavior of skin cells. They are like materials for strengthening the natural scaffolding of the skin, not only providing "building material" for but also transmitting signals regulating repair and anti-inflammatory processes. One of the key functions of exosomes is the transport of bioactive molecules such as proteins, lipids, enzymes and microRNA. These substances penetrate the interior of target cells and affect their metabolism and gene expression. Thanks to their structure – a lipid envelope resembling a cell membrane – they are stable and able to effectively cross biological barriers, which allows for precise delivery of information deep into the skin. The action of exosomes also includes the stimulation of tissue regeneration. The growth factors they provide, such as TGF-β (transforming) or EGF (epidermal), activate fibroblasts to produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The effect is an improvement in skin density and firmness, wrinkle reduction and accelerated healing of micro-damages. This action is of great importance not only in anti-aging therapy, but also in the treatment of scars, excessive pigmentation or skin damaged by aesthetic treatments. Another important aspect is the modulation of inflammation and oxidative stress, which is responsible for premature skin aging. Exosomes contain immunomodulatory factors that can calm excessive skin inflammation, limiting cellular damage and supporting skin balance. The microRNAs they contain can also affect the expression of genes related to oxidative response, reducing the amount of free radicals and inhibiting degenerative processes. Their immunomodulatory properties are used to regulate the activity of the skin's immune system, also influencing the condition of sensitive skin and skin prone to acne. The fundamental role of exosomes is also supporting intercellular communication, or so-called paracrine signaling. It is this ability – transmitting biological signals from one cell to another – that allows them to coordinate repair and rebuilding processes in the entire structure of the skin. Thanks to this, they do not act point-wise, but trigger a regenerative cascade encompassing many cells and tissues. As a result, the skin regains its ability to self-regenerate, i.e. skin regeneration processes by itself, and its barrier and structural functions are significantly improved. Application of exosomes in cosmetics Thanks to their advanced biological structure and ability to transmit information between cells, they are increasingly used in new generation cosmetics. Their presence in care formulas allows not only for intensive acceleration of facial regeneration, but also for real support of its physiological functions. Unlike many traditional active ingredients, these microscopic signal vesicles act not on the surface, but on the cellular level, restoring the skin's ability to repair itself. One of the key areas of exosome application is the regenerative processes of mature and damaged skin. Skin, which loses its ability to effectively regenerate with age, requires support at the cellular level - and this is where microscopic information vesicles operate. Exosomes contain growth factors and microRNA, which is why they support the proliferation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts, rebuild the structure of the dermis and stimulate collagen synthesis. As a result, the thickness and elasticity of the skin improves, as well as its ability to retain water and defend against external factors. Cosmetics containing exosomes are also an effective element of anti-aging therapy. Thanks to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, these ingredients counteract damage caused by free radicals, inhibit micro-inflammation accompanying skin aging (so-called inflammaging) and limit the degradation of supporting fibers. Regular use of products with exosomes can lead to visible wrinkle reduction, improved skin firmness and improved skin tone. Importantly, their effect is not only superficial - they activate deep repair processes, increasing the durability and effectiveness of the rejuvenation treatment. Another important area of ​​application of exosomes in cosmetics is the reduction of scars, acne symptoms, reduction of acne scars and skin redness, healing of skin cells, improvement of skin tone. They can affect the regulation of sebaceous glands and alleviate chronic inflammation typical of acne skin. In addition, they support the even healing of skin lesions and prevent the formation of hypertrophic scars or post-inflammatory discolorations. In the case of skin with disturbed pigmentation, they support control over melanogenesis processes, which leads to the unification of skin tone and lightening of spots. For this reason, they are a valuable ingredient in formulas intended for the care of problematic skin requiring special care. Safety and effectiveness of exosomes The advantage of exosome therapy is its high safety profile. Unlike stem cells, these nano-cellular messengers do not contain a cell nucleus, so they do not carry the risk of genetic transformation or immune response. Products such as ASCE™ exosomes are additionally purified and standardized in laboratory conditions, which ensures their purity and effectiveness. What's more, they are compatible with most aesthetic treatments, so they can be easily implemented as part of combined therapies. These modern intercellular communication systems represent the future of aesthetic medicine – regenerative, targeted and safe. They not only improve the appearance of the skin, but also have a real impact on its functioning at the cellular level. This is a technology that combines the latest biological discoveries with the needs of modern cosmetology and aesthetics. As research develops and new forms of application are implemented, cellular nanobubbles have the potential to become the gold standard in skin aging therapy and supporting regenerative processes. The effects of exosome treatment in cosmetology have generated great interest not only because of their regenerative potential, but also because of their high safety profile. Unlike many biological substances, they are well tolerated, biocompatible and do not trigger an immune response. Their natural origin and mechanism of action based on physiological cellular communication make them an attractive and safe ingredient in modern cosmetic preparations. The effectiveness of exosomes has been confirmed in numerous in vitro and clinical studies. In laboratory conditions, the use of exosomes derived from MSC has been shown to support fibroblast proliferation, stimulate the production of type I and III collagen, and limit the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 or TNF-α. Clinical studies conducted on patients with signs of skin aging, discoloration or acne scars indicate a significant improvement in skin parameters - including firmness, hydration, skin density and improvement in skin tone. Importantly, the results are usually long-lasting, and the side effects - if any - are minimal and limited to temporary redness after the treatments. Compared to stem cells, new generation signaling molecules have numerous practical and safety advantages. Stem cells, despite their high regenerative potential, carry the risk of immunogenicity, genetic variability, and difficulties in storage and standardization. As a "by-product" of cell activity, they are devoid of cell nucleus and DNA material, so they do not pose a risk of neoplastic transformation or cause a rejection reaction. They are easier to purify, more stable, and more predictable in action, making them a better alternative in the context of local use in cosmetics and aesthetic treatments. However, the high quality and safety of exosomes used in cosmetic products depend on compliance with rigorous manufacturing standards. Advanced preparations, such as ASCE™ exosomes, are obtained in laboratory conditions compliant with the principles of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). These processes include thorough purification of exosomes, elimination of cellular impurities and standardization of the content of bioactive components. Only products that meet the appropriate standards can be safely used on the skin, especially in regenerative and perioperative therapies. In the case of consumer cosmetics, new generation signaling molecules tested toxicologically and dermatologically are also increasingly used, which increases user confidence and effectiveness. Considering the above perspectives, these intelligent cellular communicators have the potential to become one of the pillars of the future of cosmetology and regenerative dermatology. Their versatility – from the ability to accelerate healing and reduce scars, through stimulating hair growth, to the potential for skin rejuvenation – makes them a unique tool in the hands of specialists. Of course, many challenges still lie ahead. Further improvement of their production methods and standardization, thorough clinical studies confirming their effectiveness and ensuring the full safety of such therapies are necessary. However, the results so far are very promising. If science manages to fully harness the potential of these nano-bubbles, cosmetology may experience a real revolution. Perhaps in a few years, exosome-based products will become a standard element of beauty and dermatology clinics, offering patients personalized, effective, and naturally acting care. The use of exosomes combines the world of cell biology with the practice of beautifying and treating the skin – and such a synergy of science and beauty can result in amazing effects. It is very likely that they will be one of the foundations of the upcoming era of regenerative cosmetology, in which therapy focuses on stimulating the body's internal repair capabilities and targeted delivery of youth stimuli for our skin.

Szampon trychologiczny - czym różni się od drogeryjnego i kiedy warto go wybrać?

Dlaczego wybór szamponu ma znaczenie? W codziennej pielęgnacji włosów to właśnie szampon jest kosmetykiem, po który sięgamy najczęściej. Choć jego głównym zadaniem jest oczyszczenie skóry głowy i włosów z sebum, zanieczyszczeń czy resztek stylizacji, to od doboru odpowiedniego produktu może zależeć zdrowie całej skóry głowy. Coraz więcej osób przekonuje się, że standardowy kosmetyk z drogerii nie zawsze odpowiada na ich potrzeby – szczególnie wtedy, gdy pojawiają się takie problemy jak nadmierne przetłuszczanie, wypadanie włosów, łupież czy podrażnienia. W takich sytuacjach warto rozważyć sięgnięcie po szampon trychologiczny – preparat stworzony z myślą o zdrowiu skóry głowy, często z wykorzystaniem wiedzy specjalistów i składników aktywnych o potwierdzonym działaniu. W tym artykule wyjaśnię, czym różni się on od popularnych szamponów drogeryjnych, kiedy warto po niego sięgnąć i jak rozpoznać formułę dopasowaną do własnych potrzeb. Czym jest szampon trychologiczny? Szampon trychologiczny to produkt opracowany z myślą o wymagającej skórze głowy, często stosowany w ramach terapii trychologicznej lub jako jej wsparcie. Jego receptura bazuje na łagodnych środkach myjących, które skutecznie usuwają zanieczyszczenia, nie naruszając przy tym bariery hydrolipidowej.Kluczową różnicą w porównaniu z kosmetykami masowymi jest wysoka zawartość składników aktywnych o działaniu: nawilżającym i regenerującym – np. kwas hialuronowy, pantenol, betaina, Ectoin, hydrolizowane białka, które wspierają odbudowę i zatrzymanie wilgoci, kojącym i łagodzącym – ekstrakty roślinne (np. Centella asiatica), fermenty probiotyczne, alantoina, które redukują podrażnienia, wzmacniającym cebulki – składniki poprawiające mikrokrążenie, jak kofeina czy adaptogeny roślinne, regulującym pracę gruczołów łojowych – kwasy (np. mlekowy, glukonolakton), które delikatnie złuszczają i normalizują przetłuszczanie. Szampon trychologiczny jest zwykle wolny od agresywnych detergentów takich jak SLS/SLES, nie zawiera drażniących barwników czy nadmiaru kompozycji zapachowych. Stosuje się go nie tylko przy widocznych problemach, ale również profilaktycznie, aby utrzymać zdrową kondycję skóry głowy i zapobiec ich nawrotom. Czym jest szampon drogeryjny? Szampon drogeryjny to produkt ogólnodostępny, projektowany z myślą o szerokim gronie odbiorców i szybkim, zauważalnym efekcie wizualnym na włosach. Jego głównym zadaniem jest skuteczne oczyszczenie i poprawa wyglądu fryzury już po jednym użyciu – najczęściej poprzez wygładzenie, zwiększenie objętości czy nadanie połysku. Formuły szamponów drogeryjnych często bazują na silnych detergentach (np. Sodium Laureth Sulfate), które skutecznie usuwają sebum i zanieczyszczenia, ale mogą również przesuszać skórę głowy lub zaburzać jej naturalną barierę ochronną.W ich składzie często pojawiają się: Silikony (np. Dimethicone, Amodimethicone) – zapewniają gładkość i połysk, ale nie pielęgnują skóry głowy, Barwniki (np. CI 60730) – nadają produktowi atrakcyjny kolor, Kompozycje zapachowe (Parfum, Limonene) – poprawiają wrażenia sensoryczne, lecz mogą działać drażniąco u osób wrażliwych, Niewielka ilość składników pielęgnacyjnych – np. kwas hialuronowy czy salicylowy w niższych stężeniach, które nie zapewniają intensywnego działania terapeutycznego. Szampon drogeryjny może sprawdzić się u osób z całkowicie zdrową skórą głowy, stosowany okazjonalnie lub naprzemiennie z delikatniejszym produktem, jednak nie będzie najlepszym wyborem w przypadku problemów wymagających specjalistycznej pielęgnacji. Porównanie składów – szampon drogeryjny vs szampon trychologiczny Orientana Dobrym sposobem na zrozumienie różnic między szamponem trychologicznym a drogeryjnym jest analiza ich składów INCI. Przyjrzyjmy się dwóm przykładom: popularnemu szamponowi drogeryjnemu X oraz szamponowi trychologicznemu Orientana. Skład popularnego szamponu drogeryjnego X INCI: Aqua / Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycol Distearate, Sodium Chloride, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Dimethicone, CI 60730 / Ext. Violet 2, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Cocamide MEA, Coco-Betaine, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Steareth-6, Phenoxyethanol, Acetic Acid, PEG-100 Stearate, Trideceth-10, Trideceth-3, Salicylic Acid, Limonene, Fumaric Acid, Amodimethicone, Carbomer, Citric Acid, Hexylene Glycol, Parfum / Fragrance. Analiza składu: Baza myjąca: Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) – silny detergent, skuteczny, ale może naruszać barierę ochronną skóry i powodować przesuszenie lub podrażnienie. Substancje pomocnicze: Sodium Chloride (sól) – zagęszcza formułę, ale w nadmiarze może działać wysuszająco. Silikony: Dimethicone, Amodimethicone – wygładzają włosy, ale obciążają je i nie pielęgnują skóry głowy. Barwniki i zapachy: CI 60730, Parfum, Limonene – poprawiają estetykę i zapach, ale mogą powodować reakcje alergiczne. Składniki aktywne: Sodium Hyaluronate, Salicylic Acid – obecne w niewielkich ilościach, raczej jako dodatek marketingowy niż realne wsparcie terapii skóry głowy. Skład szamponu trychologicznego Orientana INCI: Aqua, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Lactic Acid, Betaine, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Litchi Chinensis Fruit Extract, Lactobacillus/Soymilk Ferment Filtrate, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Panthenol, Centella Asiatica Extract, Gluconolactone, Sorbitol, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Hyaluronic Acid, Coco-Betaine, Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Fruit Ferment Filtrate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Propanediol, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Ectoin, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Parfum. Analiza składu: Baza myjąca: Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate – łagodne, roślinne detergenty bez SLS/SLES, które oczyszczają bez naruszania bariery hydrolipidowej. Nawilżacze i humektanty: Betaina, Sorbitol, Gliceryna, Kwas hialuronowy – zatrzymują wodę w naskórku i włosach. Składniki aktywne: Ekstrakt z liczi – źródło antyoksydantów i cukrów nawilżających, Fermenty probiotyczne (Lactobacillus/Soymilk, Pumpkin, Leuconostoc/Radish) – wspierają mikrobiom skóry, Centella asiatica – działa kojąco, wspomaga regenerację, Pantenol – łagodzi podrażnienia, wzmacnia włosy, Ectoin – silny składnik przeciwstarzeniowy i antyoksydacyjny. Dodatki łagodzące: Kwas mlekowy i glukonolakton – delikatnie złuszczają i wspierają równowagę skóry głowy. Konserwanty: Łagodne, bez formaldehydu i silnych donorów. Podsumowanie różnic w składach Cecha Szampon drogeryjny Szampon trychologiczny Orientana Baza myjąca Silne detergenty (SLES) Łagodne, roślinne detergenty Silikony Obecne (Dimethicone, Amodimethicone) Brak Barwniki Tak (CI 60730) Brak sztucznych barwników Zapachy Intensywne, z potencjalnymi alergenami Delikatne Składniki aktywne Niewielkie ilości Wysokie stężenie, wielokierunkowe działanie Wpływ na skórę głowy Może podrażniać lub przesuszać Wspiera nawilżenie, regenerację, mikrobiom Wniosek: Szampon trychologiczny, taki jak produkt Orientana, jest formułowany z myślą o zdrowiu skóry głowy – delikatnie oczyszcza, dostarcza składników pielęgnacyjnych i minimalizuje ryzyko podrażnień. Szampon drogeryjny skupia się głównie na efekcie wizualnym, co może być niewystarczające, a w niektórych przypadkach nawet szkodliwe dla wrażliwej skóry. Jak prawidłowo stosować szampon trychologiczny? Nawet najlepszy szampon trychologiczny nie przyniesie pełnych efektów, jeśli będzie stosowany niewłaściwie. W pielęgnacji skóry głowy kluczowe znaczenie ma technika mycia, czas kontaktu produktu z naskórkiem oraz jego częstotliwość. Skup się na skórze głowy, a nie tylko na włosach Szampon trychologiczny jest formułowany tak, aby działał bezpośrednio na skórę głowy – to tam znajdują się mieszki włosowe i to one potrzebują wsparcia. Podczas mycia koncentruj się na masażu skóry głowy, delikatnie rozprowadzając produkt opuszkami palców. Nie pocieraj intensywnie włosów na długości – spływająca piana wystarczy, by je oczyścić. Myj dwukrotnie Pierwsze mycie usuwa nadmiar sebum, pot i resztki kosmetyków stylizacyjnych. Drugie mycie umożliwia składnikom aktywnym wniknięcie i zadziałanie w głębszych warstwach naskórka. Zostaw produkt na skórze na 2–3 minuty To szczególnie ważne, jeśli w składzie znajdują się składniki aktywne takie jak pantenol, kwas mlekowy, Ectoin, fermenty probiotyczne czy ekstrakty roślinne (np. Centella asiatica). Zbyt szybkie spłukanie ogranicza ich działanie. Odpowiednia częstotliwość mycia Codziennie lub co drugi dzień – przy intensywnym przetłuszczaniu, łojotoku lub łupieżu. 2–3 razy w tygodniu – przy suchej lub wrażliwej skórze głowy. Szampon trychologiczny można stosować na stałe lub w kuracjach czasowych (np. 4–6 tygodni). Łączenie z innymi produktami trychologicznymi Najlepsze efekty daje stosowanie szamponu w połączeniu z wcierką, serum lub odżywką trychologiczną, dobranym do potrzeb skóry głowy. Dzięki temu kuracja działa wielokierunkowo – oczyszcza, odżywia, wzmacnia i reguluje pracę gruczołów łojowych. Wskazówka trychologa: Zawsze spłukuj włosy letnią, a nie gorącą wodą. Zbyt wysoka temperatura może nasilać przesuszenie, podrażnienia i stymulować nadmierne wydzielanie sebum. Podsumowanie i rekomendacja trychologa Różnica między szamponem trychologicznym a drogeryjnym nie ogranicza się jedynie do ceny czy miejsca zakupu. To przede wszystkim kwestia filozofii pielęgnacji – drogeryjne formuły koncentrują się na szybkim efekcie wizualnym, natomiast trychologiczne skupiają się na długofalowym zdrowiu skóry głowy i cebulek włosów. Dzięki łagodnym środkom myjącym, wysokiej zawartości składników aktywnych i brakowi agresywnych dodatków, szampon trychologiczny: wspiera odbudowę bariery hydrolipidowej, koi podrażnienia i nawilża, wzmacnia cebulki i poprawia kondycję włosów od nasady, może być stosowany zarówno w terapii problemów skóry głowy, jak i profilaktycznie. Rekomendacja trychologa: Jeśli zmagasz się z podrażnieniami, łupieżem, nadmiernym przetłuszczaniem lub wypadaniem włosów – włącz szampon trychologiczny do swojej rutyny jako podstawowy produkt myjący. W przypadku zdrowej skóry głowy – używaj go naprzemiennie z delikatnym szamponem codziennym, aby utrzymać równowagę i zapobiec problemom w przyszłości. Pamiętaj, że nawet najlepszy szampon jest tylko jednym z elementów kompleksowej pielęgnacji. W razie przewlekłych dolegliwości warto skonsultować się z trychologiem, który dobierze spersonalizowaną terapię dopasowaną do Twoich potrzeb.

CLAY MASKS - WHAT ARE THEIR PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS

WHAT PROPERTIES DO CLAY MASKS HAVE? Clay has been used to enhance beauty since ancient times, where it was used not only to cleanse the complexion, but also to reduce inflammation and skin problems. Today, clay is the main ingredient in face masks created based on Ayurvedic recipes - they have a cleansing, soothing, antibacterial and remineralizing effect. The caring and healing properties of a clay mask have quickly made this cosmetic product popular on the cosmetic market, especially since the use of a clay mask is versatile. WHAT IS INCLUDED IN CLAY MASKS? Clay masks owe their extraordinary properties to, among other things, kaolin clay, also known as porcelain clay. This is a mineral with a delicate consistency extracted from deep within the earth, containing a large amount of aluminum silicate and micro and macro elements such as: potassium phosphorus calcium magnesium iron Clay masks also contain vegetable oils, which give them a pleasant, oriental scent and enhance their beneficial effects. HOW TO USE CLAY MASKS? Clay masks are applied to thoroughly cleansed skin - they are spread evenly over the entire surface of the face, avoiding the eye and mouth areas, and then left for about 20 minutes. During this time, the mask hardens slightly, making it easy to remove. This procedure can be repeated once or twice a week, not more often, because the masks' effect is quite intense. It is worth adding that the uses of a clay mask are versatile - it can be applied not only to the skin of the face, but also to the neckline and even the back. WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF USING CLAY MASKS? Thanks to their unique properties, clay masks can effectively improve the appearance of the skin - smooth it, firm it and brighten it. Using a clay mask can also effectively help fight skin changes, because this cosmetic has a strong soothing, bactericidal and cicatrizing effect, which narrows pores, minimizes inflammation and reduces acne scars. It is to such properties, among others, that clay masks owe their fame. WHICH CLAY MASK SHOULD I CHOOSE? If we want our skin to look beautiful and healthy, remember to choose and use a clay mask appropriately. People with oily skin should reach for a natural neem and tea tree clay mask , for people with normal or dry skin the best choice will be a natural almond and saffron clay mask , and for combination skin you can use a natural ginger and lemongrass clay mask . Let's also remember to always follow the manufacturer's recommendations on the packaging of each of these cosmetics.

WHAT KIND OF COMPLEXION DO I HAVE?

Each of us can answer the question what kind of skin I have. But are we sure? How are individual skin types defined and how to check which one you have – you will learn this from the article below. What are the skin types? Basic skin types are divided into four main categories, plus additional types related to specific skin problems or the aging process. what skin do I have? learn the basic types Normal skin It is characterized by even hydration, elasticity and no visible imperfections. Pores are small and the skin responds well to most cosmetics. Dry skin Thin, prone to drying, with a feeling of tightness and flaking. Requires intensive moisturization and protection from external factors. Oily skin Excessive sebum production causes shine, enlarged pores and a tendency to breakouts. It requires seborrhea regulation. Combination skin Combination of dry skin (e.g. cheeks) and oily skin (T-zone: forehead, nose, chin). Requires different care. Additional skin types Sensitive skin – reacts with redness, itching or burning to cosmetics or environmental factors. Capillary skin – visible dilated blood vessels, prone to irritation. Acne skin – dominated by pimples, blackheads and excessive sebum production, often requires dermatological consultation. Mature skin – manifests itself through wrinkles, loss of firmness and irregular facial contours associated with age. In practice, skin type may combine the features of the basic type with additional problems (e.g. oily skin with vascular elements). The key is to adapt care to the individual needs of the skin, but do I already know what type of skin I have? No skin type is a given. It is often genetically determined, but it can change with age. Skin type also depends on how you care for it, your diet, hormone levels, and lifestyle. What is my complexion? Tests To determine your skin type, you can use online tests or analyze your symptoms yourself. Here are the key methods: Tests with a dermatologist A dermatologist asks a series of questions and observes the client's skin to select the right care. How does a dermatologist recognize your skin type? During the consultation, she asks a few simple questions that help assess the condition and type of your skin. The key is how your skin reacts to everyday factors - such as cleansing, weather changes or natural physiological processes. On this basis, you can accurately select the right care. The first signal that a dermoconsultant pays attention to is the skin's reaction after washing. If you feel a strong feeling of tightness, dryness or burning after cleansing, this may indicate dry or sensitive skin that requires gentle, moisturising formulas and protection from external factors. On the other hand, if your complexion quickly starts to shine and you do not feel any discomfort, you probably have oily or combination skin - the kind that produces excess sebum and needs to regulate sebum secretion. The next step is to observe the visibility of pores and the tendency to blemishes. If you notice enlarged pores, especially in the T-zone (i.e. on the forehead, nose and chin), and breakouts appear regularly - this may indicate oily or acne skin. It is also worth paying attention to whether skin changes intensify cyclically, for example before menstruation - this may indicate hormonal acne. On the other hand, skin without visible pores, with a smooth structure and no tendency to breakouts, often turns out to be dry or normal skin. The skin's behavior in different weather conditions is also assessed. If your skin reacts with irritation, redness or burning to frost, wind or sudden changes in temperature, you most likely have sensitive or vascular skin. Such skin needs soothing cosmetics that strengthen the protective barrier and seal blood vessels. On the other hand, if your skin shines intensely in a humid environment, this indicates overactive sebaceous glands, i.e. oily or combination skin. Thanks to these simple questions and observations, the dermatologist is able to determine not only the basic skin type – dry, oily, combination or normal – but also its needs and tendencies, such as sensitivity, tendency to dehydration, acne or overactive blood vessels. This is the first step towards conscious and effective care and finding out what kind of skin I have. what skin type do I have - Self-analysis Determining your skin type yourself is a key step in proper skin care. Observing your skin's reaction to various factors, such as washing or using cosmetics, allows you to precisely select the right care products. Observation of the skin after washing One of the easiest ways to analyze your skin is to observe how it reacts after washing your face with a gentle cleanser, without using creams or toners. After about 30 minutes, you can assess how your skin reacts to cleansing: Dry skin – after washing, there is a feeling of tightness, tension and discomfort. The skin is often dull, rough and may flake. The lack of natural moisture makes it look tired and prone to irritation. Oily skin – quickly begins to shine, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin). Pores are clearly visible, and the skin may appear to have a thicker, more oily film on the surface. It is often accompanied by blackheads and a tendency to imperfections. Combination skin – is characterized by different areas with different properties. The T-zone quickly becomes oily, while the cheeks can be dry and tight. Requires balanced care, adapted to different parts of the face. Normal skin – shows no signs of discomfort. The skin is smooth, elastic and naturally moisturized. The lack of dryness and excessive shine makes it look healthy and radiant. Skin reaction to cosmetics The next step in skin analysis is to observe the skin's reaction to various cosmetics, especially those containing active ingredients. Some skin types may require more gentle care, while others will tolerate stronger ingredients. Sensitive/vascular skin – reacts with redness, burning, and even itching to aggressive substances such as alcohol, retinoids, and some preservatives. It may have a tendency to burst blood vessels, which manifests itself as visible "spider veins" on the cheeks and nose. Requires the use of mild, hypoallergenic cosmetics. The Kali Musli series will be perfect here. Acne skin – is prone to frequent breakouts, blackheads and inflammation. It can be oily, but also dry due to the use of aggressive anti-acne products. It requires careful care, regulating sebum secretion and supporting skin regeneration. What is my complexion? Test with blotting paper At home, you can perform a simple test that will allow you to find out what type of skin you have. All you need are facial cleansing products and a thin tissue or tissue paper divided into layers. Here are five steps that will help you define your facial skin type: Thoroughly cleanse your face of any makeup residue and wash it with a gentle cosmetic. We recommend a makeup remover oil and a face wash foam. Gently dry your face with a clean towel, without rubbing. Do not apply any cosmetics to your face and wait 30 minutes. During this time, do not do any strenuous exercise or go outside. Let your skin breathe ? After 30 minutes, gently place a tissue or one layer of tissue on your face. Lightly pat the tissue onto your skin and wait a minute. Remove the tissue paper and hold it up to the light. You will see where the most sebum has been produced on your face. If there are no traces of sebum on the tissue paper, you have dry or normal skin. When the traces of sebum form a visible letter T, your skin is combination. If the tissue paper is covered with sebum in many places or over the entire surface, you have oily skin. Pay attention to seasonal changes, because combination skin can become dry in the winter or oily in the summer. Regular observation of the skin allows for a better understanding of its needs and the selection of appropriate cosmetics, which translates into a healthy appearance and everyday comfort. What skin type do I have - additional tips Mature skin is a type of skin that usually appears after the age of 35, although its features may appear earlier, depending on lifestyle, exposure to UV radiation, oxidative stress or hormonal balance. Characteristic symptoms are wrinkles , both facial and deeper, which first appear around the eyes, mouth and forehead. The skin loses firmness, elasticity and density, which can lead to facial contour disorders. This is often accompanied by a loss of radiance , dryness, roughness and uneven color. Capillary skin, on the other hand, is manifested by the presence of dilated blood vessels , most often in the cheeks, nose and chin. The skin is sensitive, prone to redness, which may appear under the influence of changes in temperature, emotions, spicy foods or the use of inappropriate cosmetics. In the advanced stage, there may be persistent redness and a tendency to form telangiectasia (so-called spider veins). Capillary skin requires delicate care, strengthening the walls of blood vessels and protecting against irritants. If the results are ambiguous, it is worth consulting a dermatologist or cosmetologist. You should always also take into account the age of the person whose skin type you are diagnosing. Oily skin will behave differently in a teenager than in a mature woman. Natural cosmetics for different skin types Natural cosmetics, based on plant extracts, oils and ingredients of mineral origin, are increasingly popular due to their mildness, high skin tolerance and multi-directional action. Properly selected natural ingredients can effectively support the needs of every type of skin, improving its condition, balance and appearance. For dry skin, strongly moisturizing and lubricating ingredients work best, which help rebuild the skin's hydrolipid barrier. Among them, it is worth mentioning shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) , avocado oil , argan oil and almond oil - rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins A and E, perfectly soften the skin and protect it from moisture loss. Hyaluronic acid of plant origin and aloe additionally intensify hydration and soothe the feeling of tightness. Oily and acne-prone skin requires ingredients that regulate sebum secretion, have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Tea tree oil, niacinamide (vitamin B3) and green tea extract work great here. These substances help cleanse pores, reduce imperfections and soothe inflammation without damaging the skin's natural protective barrier. Sensitive and vascular skin requires soothing ingredients that strengthen blood vessels and reduce redness. In this group, the most commonly used are kali musli extract, as well as wild rose oil and panthenol . These are ingredients with soothing, anti-inflammatory and microcirculation-supporting effects that improve skin comfort and reduce hyperreactivity. For mature skin, ingredients with regenerating, firming and antioxidant effects will be ideal. Pomegranate oil , snail slime , coenzyme Q10 , vitamin C and extracts from adaptogens such as Reishi or Rhodiola rosea help smooth wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and protect it from free radicals. Natural care allows you to safely and effectively take care of the needs of different skin types. The key to success is the conscious selection of active ingredients that address specific skin problems while supporting its natural defense and regeneration functions. Once you have determined what type of skin you have, it is worth focusing on the selection of cosmetics. Remember about cosmetics for cleansing and toning the skin. We know from experience that these steps are often omitted. Choose the right serum and cream. Enjoy conscious care.
