Our skin in the fall

Autumn has come,
Dried flowers,
And looking sadly
Bare bushes.


This children's poem Alexei Pleshcheeva Probably best describes the condition of our skin in the fall. Physiological processes at this time a few changes: some are accelerated, some slowing. Solar influence is reduced, the body reacts to it immediately, resulting in the fall can be observed hypersomnia, and the need for a friend, "not years", skin care becomes apparent.

Universal Dry

Holders of chronic skin diseases know that in the fall there is an exacerbation of many of them, as the metabolism in the skin is broken due to changing weather conditions and seasonal variations in hormonal. Of course, these changes do not occur immediately but with the accumulation of the effects on the body of negative factors. In the autumn should pay attention to the deep moisturizing protective creams, only now, in contrast to summer, protection factor should prevent not only the effect of UV radiation as the harmful effects of environmental factors: cold wind, low temperatures.

One of the most common misconceptions is that the fall and winter can not use moisturizing creams. Not at all! Proper use of these drugs will protect the skin from lack of moisture, and later from dehydration and premature aging on this negative background. That is deeply moisturizing creams should be applied in the morning 30-40 minutes before going outside.   During this time they are fully absorbed into the skin structure. In addition, light makeup that makes every woman is meant applying foundation or powder, is also a protective factor against the weather.

During the cold period, even oily skin becomes much drier, it requires improved nutrition and hydration. Therefore, not only the need to use protective equipment, but also more nutritious night creams to restore the hydro-lipid film That provides natural protection at reduced temperature, and to supply deeper layers of the skin, preventing dehydration.

Cream Wagon

Modern cosmetology currently offers not only moisturizing creams or nutritional cold period of the year, these tools combine more functions and protect against any corrosive influences. This protection is provided by the presence in creams specific components. Here are some of them that are worth paying attention to when buying a cream. Typically, the package indicates that the protective cream.

NMF (natural moisturing factor)   - Natural moisturizing factor or its components. This complex in the natural state in the human skin works as a natural scavenger of water (from the outside and inner layers of skin) on the principle of equilibrium. The natural components of this complex are 17 free amino acids, hyaluronic acid, urea, lactic acid, urokainovaya acid, glycosaminoglycans, collagen derivatives, sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphates   and other compounds. Each component itself carries also additional functions, such as a factor urokainovaya acid protecting the skin from UV radiation.

To recreate the natural NMF fails completely, but as a general rule, if the label indicates that the composition of the cream contained NMF, is intended to include hyaluronic acid in combination with certain other components (often - amino acids, at least - urea and collagen).

For information:   free amino acids, some of which can be found in creams or dietary supplements is lysine, arginine, threonine, proline, cysteine, methionine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, triptovan glutamic acid, aspartic acid, kartinin, histidine, glycine, serine, alanine , valine, leucine, tyrosine.

Coenzyme Q10, or ubiquinone.   The very name of the substance derived from the word "ubihitos", which means "ubiquitous." It accurately describes the demeanor of ubiquinone in the body, namely Q10 - a major factor of energy is present in every cell of the body, where it is involved in the most important energoobrazuyuschih chemical reactions. It is a powerful antioxidant that stops the aging process. Its effect is very strong when taken orally (in the dosage prescribed by the doctor), but its use in cosmetics has more than a dozen years. The mechanism of action of the skin is quite simple - it stimulates physiological (natural) by all the reactions that occur in the skin: the supply of nutrients to cells and cell uptake, the effect of vitamins on the cell, the synthesis of collagen. In addition, coenzyme affect the local immunity of the skin, increasing resistance to external influences.

It is a useful component of an ideal "autumn" cream   - Thermal water, strengthen and support all the structure of the skin; vitamin cocktail; plant extracts containing natural antioxidants and moisturizers complexes; Collagen (marine or plant); phytohormones (for mature skin); Protective systems based on natural minerals for protection against external influences.

Important note:   The cream should not be supersaturated, saturated multicomponent composition is not always necessary, at a daily cream should be "priority vector": in the morning cream - moisturizing and protective, in the evening - nutritious mask - restores, serum - firming.
