After hot, summer days, the time has come to greet a different season. We conceive September as the start of a new season, a time to renew our wardrobe and get ready for school or new academic year or job after a well spent holiday. So, why wouldn't we take care of our skin the same way? The season change can have a significant impact on our skin, so it requires a special care and treatment. The chilly post-summer days with low humidity in the air cause our skin to become dry and uncomfortable. It’s possible to end with even more serious consequences, such as inflammation, itchiness, flaking, eczema, cracking… We advise you with a few tips that will help you keep your skin silky and healthy.
Moisturization
One of the biggest enemies to your skin after being used to warm summer days is the dryness that comes with the cold seasons. This is why it’s very important to keep your skin well moisturized. After every shower, use the right moisturizer depending on the level of grease that suits your skin.
Coconut oil
Thanks to its emollient properties, coconut oil fulfills the damp places between the skin cells, resulting in smooth, silky skin. Coconut oil is very gentle, so it can be used even on the most sensitive parts of the skin, such as under-eye area or around the mouth. Furthermore, it’s perfectly safe to use it on a daily basis. Other than coconut, you can also use other natural groceries as a source of vitamins beneficial properties for your skin - papaya, almond and milk, yogurt and buttermilk and many other.
