The word "spring" sounds sooo pretty. Longer afternoons, more light, another energy... A whole explosion of life that we look forward to every year.
And like any revolution, sometimes it comes with some setbacks. In this case, for the epidermis.
Because, like this, between you and me, spring alters the skin. So here we leave you some tips that will be useful to avoid itching, allergies and reactions and that will help you feel your skin soft, nourished and luminous. Happy Spring!
Tip #1: Apply your toner to your body
Yes, yes, you read correctly. We said BODY.
Like the face, the body appreciates extra hydration and, despite the fact that we are used to using them exclusively on the face, floral waters are the best option.
Have you ever noticed little scales on your legs or arms? Or that your skin itches a lot after bathing? It is normal.
The use of soaps causes the skin layer, which is naturally acidic, to become alkaline. Come on, it gets altered, causing similar reactions on your skin.
How can you solve it? Very easy.
Dry your skin well when you get out of the shower. Then spray the whole body with a rose hydrosol O don't play to balance the ph of your skin and, as a final climax, apply a highly nutritious oil.
Goodbye, scales and itchiness!
Tip No. 2: Feed and nourish the skin with vegetable oils
Think about it. What happens to the salad when you dress it with olive oil? Well, it is enriched and you benefit from the properties of fatty acids.
The same thing happens with your skin.
And, yes, speaking of botanical oils, we have the top of the range. So that we are going to deceive ourselves.

Tip No. 3: Sleep a lot and well

Thus, without having to do anything but rest. And, on top of that, free.

Little is said about spring asthenia, its permanent fatigue and lack of energy.
It sounds like a cliché, but it is a reality: There is no better beauty trick than feeling good.
Therefore, although not suitable for allergy sufferers, here is another tip that will make you look your best: go for a walk in the late afternoon and enjoy the wonderful smell given off by the orange blossoms in the month of April, the first roses, the jasmine and the lady of the night.
It's proven. The benefits of aromatherapy they have a very positive impact on our brain and activating dopamine, also known as the pleasure hormone.
Tip #5: Make a homemade papaya mask
What why papaya? Well, because this fruit contains one of the most powerful enzymes known: papain.
Papain has the power to:
- Get your skin looking smooth, even and radiant by removing dead cells, even from the deepest layers.
- Activate collagen naturally and improve firmness of your face.
And all this little by little, gently and without irritating your epidermis.
Unlike the better known alpha-hydroxy acids such as glycolic or salicylic, you can use papain even if you have sensitive skin or are pregnant.
Keep this recipe on hand and if you can repeat the mixture and use it once a week for a month, even better:
Ingredients

Add a tablespoon of cornmeal or white clay to thicken it up and make it easier to apply.
If you also add yogurt, you will be providing extra vitamins and lactic acid to the mixture that favors luminosity.
Apply to the face, including the neck and décolleté, and leave it on for a maximum of 10 minutes.
Then, rinse with water and apply a toner and your usual serum on the skin.
