Is it worth using SPF every day?
Among consumers in Poland and throughout Europe, awareness of skin photoaging and why sun protection is so important is growing. There is no doubt that the most effective way to protect the skin from premature aging is to use sunscreen cosmetics. It is important to remember that the skin is exposed to the negative effects of UV radiation all year round - regardless of the weather or season. It is therefore worth reaching for cosmetics with high SPF values not only in the summer. Ideally, these will be natural cosmetics. For everyday use, a product with an SPF of at least 30 will be suitable, but it is worth paying attention to whether the cream also protects against UVA radiation. Of course, in the summer and generally on sunny days, the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of our skin is much higher. Therefore, it is worth paying even more attention to protection at this time by using cosmetics with an SPF 50+ filter. Unfortunately, no cosmetic, even with the highest sun protection factor, protects the skin 100% - so you should follow a few additional rules: avoid exposure to full sun (usually around noon), avoid sunbathing, even by using sunscreen creams, wear protective clothing and headgear, Reapply sunscreen approximately every 2 hours when outdoors and after each time you come out of the water. The level of protection against UV radiation is directly dependent on the amount of product applied and whether it creates an even, uninterrupted film on the skin. According to the methodology adopted by the European Commission, the SPF value (specifies the level of protection against UVB) and PPD (specifies the level of protection against UVA) are measured by applying 2 mg of the product to 1 cm 2 of the proband's skin. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to whether we apply the right amount of the cosmetic to be sure that the product will protect the skin to the extent declared by its manufacturer. Reapplication of sunscreen creams is extremely important because over time, our facial expressions, the presence of sebum or sweat on it negatively affect the continuity of the protective sunscreen layer. Properly selected creams with UV filters are a proven and one of the most effective ways to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB radiation. By using such products before going out in the sun, you also minimize the risk of unpleasant irritations or even painful burns. Sun protection is also a way to limit the rapid aging process of the skin and reduce the risk of unsightly discolorations and wrinkles appearing on the skin.

Natural methods to get rid of blackheads
Natural methods to get rid of blackheads Blackheads can keep many of us awake at night. They usually appear in our teens and then they are with us all the time. Sometimes they are more visible, sometimes less, but many women find fighting them very troublesome. What are blackheads? Blackheads, also known as whiteheads, are light or dark lumps or dots visible mainly on the skin of the nose, forehead and chin. These are the ends of pores and hair follicles clogged by dirt, sebum and sweat. They are felt on the skin, causing it to have an uneven structure, be rough and unpleasant to the touch. Their improper removal can lead to permanent skin damage, infection and skin lesions that are difficult to heal. If we do not feel up to it and do not have the knowledge or patience, a good solution is to go to a professional beautician for help in removing blackheads. She will perform appropriate treatments that will cleanse the skin and instruct on further home care. However, with a little effort and the right routine, you can successfully deal with blackheads in your home bathroom. What cosmetics are good for blackheads? Regular use of natural face scrubs is essential in the fight against blackheads. The scrub should be adapted to the skin type - use a different cosmetic for oily skin, another for normal skin. For dry or sensitive skin, choose a natural enzymatic scrub . During application, focus on the area of the face where blackheads have accumulated and massage it with the scrub especially thoroughly. Natural cleansing masks, such as those with hotunia or Philippine algae, are a great choice for blackheads. In addition to refreshing the complexion, they also have a sebum-regulating function and can help narrow pores. It is also important that they moisturize the skin so it does not need to produce excess sebum. Ready-made clay masks also work well for clogged pores.

Beauty supplementation
Beauty supplementation In pharmacies, drugstores and even grocery stores you can find a lot of capsules, tablets, drinks that act as supplements. Do you reach for them to support your body? Today we will talk about what beauty supplementation is and you will find out if you really need ready-made supplements. What is supplementation? Supplementation is associated with taking ready-made vitamin and mineral preparations. But do you know what this word means? According to the Polish dictionary, "supplementation is supplementing the diet with essential vitamins and minerals". There is not a word in this definition about whether this process is to consist of taking capsules! Meanwhile, we have become accustomed to the fact that by supplementation we mean swallowing tablets. Today we will try to explain which groups of vitamins and minerals are particularly important for beauty and how to introduce their completely natural supplementation into your diet. Cellulite Supplementation Cellulite is unevenly distributed subcutaneous fat tissue or water, which is visible in the form of skin with the structure of an orange peel. It is mainly an aesthetic problem and does not harm health, but it can cause complexes. Cellulite affects most women and occurs in almost all of them. It is visible on the thighs, buttocks, upper arms or on the sides of the torso. Supporters of natural methods recommend a diet dominated by fresh fruit and vegetables, and a large amount of water to people who want to reduce cellulite. They also praise giving up stimulants such as tobacco, coffee or black tea, which in their opinion can cause this cellulite. However, will such a diet bring results? Scientists believe that estrogen, a female hormone that causes fat tissue to be stored under the skin's surface, may be responsible for cellulite. In postmenopausal women, fat is stored mainly in the upper half of the body, and when, as a result of aging, the skin becomes thinner, lumps and unevenness are simply more visible. This is also facilitated by excessive sunbathing, which causes the skin to lose elasticity. Visible cellulite is therefore a common and natural phenomenon. Studies do not confirm that it can be safely removed non-invasively with supplementation. Scientists and doctors recommend regular physical activity, swimming or massages, as well as a well-balanced and low-calorie diet based on natural products. If you are tempted to have a gua sha stone massage, Chinese cupping or even a simple home skin massage, be sure to try anti-cellulite oil . Its formula means that the fat tissue accumulated under the skin can be reduced and become less visible. Hair supplementation The condition of the scalp and hair used to be considered an indicator of the health of the body. However, with the development of the market for chemical hair dyes, styling agents and hair styling devices, it can be said that a completely healthy person can have hair in a terrible condition. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done about damaged hair. Here, you can use oiling with natural hair oils . It is also worth switching to using natural cosmetics for care such as shampoos and conditioners. Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp, so with proper natural hair care, you can count on growing new, healthy, thick and strong hair. When dealing with oily hair, it is worth choosing a good natural shampoo with ingredients that will keep your hair fresh for longer . You can skip the conditioner and wash your hair with shampoo even every day. In terms of diet – try to eliminate excess sugar from your diet – this often helps eliminate oiliness of the scalp. Dry scalp and dandruff may indicate a zinc deficiency as well as unsaturated fatty acids. Natural supplementation of fatty acids involves introducing good quality vegetable oils, nuts and oily fish (mackerel, salmon, sardines) into the diet. The amount of zinc in the diet can be increased by regularly eating shellfish (especially oysters), pumpkin seeds and red meat. If you have noticed that your hair has lost its shine, you can easily fix it. Switch to natural care and natural hair dyeing , and also eat more products such as: carrot dark green leafy vegetables sweet potatoes dried apricots Excessive hair loss is a problem for many of us. Before taking preventive measures, it is worth checking whether the problem really exists. The average adult loses about 50-100 hairs a day. New hair grows underneath them. Check how much hair you lose daily and you will know whether you really need to start taking action to protect them. What supplements for hair loss? In addition to normal hair loss, hair loss can also occur as a result of pregnancy, shortly after childbirth, and various illnesses, such as: circulatory problems anemia thyroid disease chronic stress A doctor can help here, as well as natural supplementation by introducing foods rich in B vitamins, which are very important for hair health. Eat more whole grain bread, oily fish, yeast extracts and drinks, peas, eggs, natural yogurt and milk. A very effective natural cosmetic for hair loss is Ayurvedic therapy with Centella Asiatica. Nail supplementation Healthy nails are characterized by a hard, smooth, and pink surface. Curved and pale nails may indicate anemia or a lack of zinc. Nails with a bluish tint indicate that blood is not reaching the extremities and may herald circulatory diseases. In turn, striped, weak, and brittle nails may indicate a systemic disease of the body. In any case, if you feel concerned about the appearance of your nails, go to a dermatologist or a general practitioner, who will order appropriate tests. Nails are made of keratin and their normal growth in a week is about 1 mm. It may turn out that your diet does not provide the nutrients that nails need or that you provide too little of them. An important element that helps nails is iron. You can check its amount in the body by doing a blood count and consulting its results with a doctor. Iron in supplements is not easily absorbed and causes side effects, e.g. constipation, so if the doctor does not recommend artificial supplementation, you can introduce natural supplementation into your diet. Try to eat more green leafy vegetables, poultry, red meat and fish. Brittle nails and inflammation around them may indicate a lack of zinc. It is worth using natural supplements in the form of walnuts, lentils, peas, eggs, seafood and sea fish. Wide stripes along or across the nails may indicate zinc deficiency, while blackening of the nails may indicate its excess. Large amounts of natural selenium can be found in brewer's yeast, cereal grains, crustaceans and fish. If you want to additionally strengthen damaged nails, take care of their beautiful and healthy appearance and eliminate dry and peeling cuticles, also try the gel nail elixir . This is a unique conditioner, without added oils, which absorbs quickly and allows for achieving quick effects. Remember that if the condition of your skin, hair or nails does not improve after introducing natural supplementation, you should always seek help from a doctor. Beauty supplementation In pharmacies, drugstores and even grocery stores you can find a lot of capsules, tablets, drinks that act as supplements. Do you reach for them to support your body? Today we will talk about what beauty supplementation is and you will find out if you really need ready-made supplements. What is supplementation? Supplementation is associated with taking ready-made vitamin and mineral preparations. But do you know what this word means? According to the Polish dictionary, "supplementation is supplementing the diet with essential vitamins and minerals". There is not a word in this definition about whether this process is to consist of taking capsules! Meanwhile, we have become accustomed to the fact that by supplementation we mean swallowing tablets. Today we will try to explain which groups of vitamins and minerals are particularly important for beauty and how to introduce their completely natural supplementation into your diet. Cellulite Supplementation Cellulite is unevenly distributed subcutaneous fat tissue or water, which is visible in the form of skin with the structure of an orange peel. It is mainly an aesthetic problem and does not harm health, but it can cause complexes. Cellulite affects most women and occurs in almost all of them. It is visible on the thighs, buttocks, upper arms or on the sides of the torso. Supporters of natural methods recommend a diet dominated by fresh fruit and vegetables, and a large amount of water to people who want to reduce cellulite. They also praise giving up stimulants such as tobacco, coffee or black tea, which in their opinion can cause this cellulite. However, will such a diet bring results? Scientists believe that estrogen, a female hormone that causes fat tissue to be stored under the skin's surface, may be responsible for cellulite. In postmenopausal women, fat is stored mainly in the upper half of the body, and when, as a result of aging, the skin becomes thinner, lumps and unevenness are simply more visible. This is also facilitated by excessive sunbathing, which causes the skin to lose elasticity. Visible cellulite is therefore a common and natural phenomenon. Studies do not confirm that it can be safely removed non-invasively with supplementation. Scientists and doctors recommend regular physical activity, swimming or massages, as well as a well-balanced and low-calorie diet based on natural products. If you are tempted to have a gua sha stone massage, Chinese cupping or even a simple home skin massage, be sure to try anti-cellulite oil . Its formula means that the fat tissue accumulated under the skin can be reduced and become less visible. Hair supplementation The condition of the scalp and hair used to be considered an indicator of the health of the body. However, with the development of the market for chemical hair dyes, styling agents and hair styling devices, it can be said that a completely healthy person can have hair in a terrible condition. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done about damaged hair. Here, you can use oiling with natural hair oils . It is also worth switching to using natural cosmetics for care such as shampoos and conditioners. Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp, so with proper natural hair care, you can count on growing new, healthy, thick and strong hair. When dealing with oily hair, it is worth choosing a good natural shampoo with ingredients that will keep your hair fresh for longer . You can skip the conditioner and wash your hair with shampoo even every day. In terms of diet – try to eliminate excess sugar from your diet – this often helps eliminate oiliness of the scalp. Dry scalp and dandruff may indicate a zinc deficiency as well as unsaturated fatty acids. Natural supplementation of fatty acids involves introducing good quality vegetable oils, nuts and oily fish (mackerel, salmon, sardines) into the diet. The amount of zinc in the diet can be increased by regularly eating shellfish (especially oysters), pumpkin seeds and red meat. If you have noticed that your hair has lost its shine, you can easily fix it. Switch to natural care and natural hair dyeing , and also eat more products such as: carrot dark green leafy vegetables sweet potatoes dried apricots Excessive hair loss is a problem for many of us. Before taking preventive measures, it is worth checking whether the problem really exists. The average adult loses about 50-100 hairs a day. New hair grows underneath them.

Everyday sun protection -
can this be possible?
Photoaging of the skin Skin aging is a complex and inevitable biological process. Unfortunately, skin ages faster when exposed to sunlight – a process we call photoaging. The skin is the largest organ in our body, it protects all other organs from the effects of environmental factors and maintains the balance between the human body and the environment (e.g. by regulating body temperature). It is a complex organ with many structures and cell types, divided into three layers: the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue. The skin, as a protective barrier between the environment and internal organs, is exposed to factors that damage its cells every day - UV radiation, cigarette smoke, car exhaust fumes and stress. With age, the skin's natural regeneration processes slow down, it becomes thinner, less elastic and drier. How quickly the skin ages and what the visible effects are depends on, among other things: genes, environmental exposure - such as UV radiation, xenobiotics or exposure to mechanical injuries, hormonal changes, metabolic processes - generation of reactive chemical compounds or free radicals in skin cells. All of the above factors together affect changes in its structure, function and appearance. However, it is the sun's and artificially generated (e.g. in a solarium) UV radiation that is undoubtedly the main factor responsible for skin aging. Photoaging is the superimposition of photodamage on the skin that is already ageing, generally causing premature ageing. The skin becomes rough, the epidermis initially thickens (hyperplasia) and then thins (atrophy), laxity, sallowness with wrinkles, irregular discoloration, lentigines and telangiectasias appear. The pores of the skin are larger, with an increased tendency to form comedones. Changes also occur in the dermis – collagen degeneration results in wrinkles and furrows. There is an accumulation of thickened, tangled and degraded elastin fibers, blood vessels dilate. Due to the gradual loss of skin elasticity and its dehydration (increased dryness of the skin), expression wrinkles become more pronounced, fine wrinkles appear around the corners of the eyes and mouth. Photoaging of the skin is not a sudden effect of one walk on the beach in full sun without UVR protection - it is the effect of long-term, bad habits and neglect. However, it is worth remembering that even one but intensive visit to the sun can result in skin burn and stroke.

Our bodies are increasingly beginning to feel the somatic symptoms of too fast a pace of life, which result in a deterioration of health - both physical and mental. We promise ourselves that next month we will start going to yoga, swimming or Nordic walking, we even buy passes, clothes and equipment for exercises. But it often doesn't work out, right?

How to use BB cream with SPF30?
BB cream with filter is not a foundation and should be applied less to the skin. Despite this, it will perfectly cover imperfections and discolorations, even out the skin tone and make its colors healthier. For more visible imperfections or discolorations, BB cream with filter SPF30 from Orientan can be applied in layers because it builds up well. The key here is the ability to apply without heavy rubbing and to apply the BB cream in small portions. Adding a BB cream with sun protection (SPF) to your routine is a great idea because it not only evens out your skin tone but also protects it from harmful UV rays. Here are some tips on how to use a BB cream with sun protection: How to apply BB cream with SPF? As always, start by thoroughly cleansing your face so that the BB cream adheres better to the skin. If you have dry skin, apply a light moisturizer. For oily skin, a BB cream with sunscreen is often enough, as many also have moisturizing ingredients. bb cream with filter - how much to apply? For effective sun protection, apply BB cream evenly over the entire face. You can start with a pea-sized amount and add more if needed. Remember that the SPF in BB cream should be applied in the right amount – if you apply too little, the protection may not be sufficient. App When applying with your fingers, spread the BB cream with your fingers for a natural finish. Start from the center of your face (nose, cheeks, forehead) and spread outward. For a more subtle effect, you can pat the BB cream with a damp sponge. This will ensure that the product is better absorbed into the skin. For a more opaque finish, use a foundation brush. Don't forget about areas like the hairline, ears and neck to avoid differences in skin tone. Refreshing during the day If you spend a lot of time in the sun, the SPF protection in your BB cream may need refreshing. You can use an SPF protection mist or apply an extra layer of BB cream (if possible). BB cream with SPF30 - what to watch out for If you have sensitive skin, choose a BB cream with a mineral filter (e.g. zinc oxide, titanium dioxide), which is more gentle. In case of intensive sun exposure, a BB cream with SPF may not be enough. It is worth applying a traditional cream with SPF 30-50 under the BB. With a BB cream with a filter, you protect the skin, even out its color and save time. BB Cream with SPF30 – Application Apply a small amount of cream to the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, then spread thoroughly using your fingers, a sponge or a brush. The next step is to pat the product in thoroughly but gently. We recommend using small portions of the product at a time, adding it as needed, each time spreading and patting thoroughly into the skin. If necessary, you can finish the makeup with your favorite powder. As a base for the BB cream, use your favorite toner or light serum - they will perfectly complement the moisturizing and nourishing effects of the cream. In order to deepen the effective protection against UV radiation, you can use a cream with SPF as a base. Should BB cream SPF 30 be applied in the same amount as classic sunscreens? We do not recommend, but at the same time we encourage you to experiment? NATURAL BB CREAM PERFTECT COVER ANTI-AGEING GOLDEN GINSENG with SPF 30 provides very high protection against UVA and UVB radiation. Applied in two thinner layers to the skin of the face, neck and décolleté (and other parts of the body exposed to direct sunlight), it effectively supports the fight against photoaging of the skin, while caring for it and correcting its color. How to wash off BB cream Due to the fact that the organic filters used in BB cream are oil-soluble substances, in order to effectively cleanse the face, we recommend performing a two-step facial cleansing. The first step is to remove makeup using an oil, and the second is to thoroughly wash the skin with a water-based detergent. This method will allow for thorough cleansing of the skin from cosmetic residues, preventing pores from clogging and the general accumulation of impurities on the skin.

High sun protection
In the past, it was thought that sun exposure was a healthy benefit of outdoor activity and provided an attractive, tanned skin color. Today, however, we know that there are many unhealthy effects of sun exposure, including photoaging and skin cancer. Sunlight reaching the Earth's surface consists of ultraviolet (wavelengths 290-400 nm), visible (400-760 nm), and infrared (above 760 nm) wavelengths. The ultraviolet wavelength bands are further divided into UVB (290-320 nanometers), UVA2 (320-340 nanometers), and UVA1 (340-400 nanometers). Earth's UV radiation consists of 5% UVB radiation, which is mostly absorbed by the epidermis, and 95% UVA radiation, which can penetrate deeper than the epidermis. UVB has higher energy and is responsible for sunburn and direct DNA damage to skin cells. Lower-energy UVA radiation, through the generation of free radicals, contributes to photoaging of the skin and damage to its DNA. To effectively protect your skin from the negative effects of solar radiation, you should use products containing stable sunscreens. The organic filters used in NATURAL BB CREAM PERFTECT COVER ANTI-AGEING GOLDEN GINSENG SPF 30 provide effective protection in the full spectrum of UVA and UVB ultraviolet radiation, simply converting it into heat energy. The filters used are substances that do not penetrate deep into the skin - their field of action is located in the lower layers of the epidermis, where they bravely deal with radiation in a given wavelength range. It is important to note that these raw materials are safe for the fauna and flora of lakes, seas and oceans. Regular use of cosmetics containing sunscreens helps prevent sunburn, skin photoaging and skin cancer. So should we worry about sun protection even on cloudy days? Clouds block a significant portion of UVB rays, but do not block UVA, which can generate free radicals in the skin. So are we safe in our homes/offices? Not entirely, because UVA radiation also penetrates through glass. Regular exposure to radiation from outside the windows can also contribute to skin photoaging in the long term. We therefore recommend using products such as NATURAL BB CREAM PERFTECT COVER ANTI-AGEING GOLDEN GINSENG SPF 30 every day, regardless of the weather and season.
