Are you confused about your skin type?

You can do a simple experiment at home to determine your skin type, as follows:

1. Wash the skin with a cleanser and use a face towel to dry the skin gently

2. After an hour of cleaning your skin, bring a tissue and place it on the areas: the forehead, cheeks, chin and nose.

3. Check the effect of the four areas on the tissue according to this effect.

* Oily skin: you will be able to see the traces of fat on the tissue in all the areas it was placed on

*Combination skin: You will be able to see the traces of sebum in some areas

* Normal skin: you will not see any traces of sebum

* Dry skin: You will not see any traces of sebum, but rather peeling effects.

Knowing that sensitive skin is not a single skin type in itself, the skin may be oily / normal / dry / mixed and sensitive at the same time, so we recommend that before trying any mask or cream for the skin try it on a small part of the skin in the hand or at the top of the neck to test if you are suffering If you are allergic to this product or not...

Make a home professional serum and say goodbye to dry skin

 

As is well known to all, any moisturizing substance contains water.

Today we will prepare a serum oil, we will learn how to use natural oils in serums.

Unlike a water-based serum that moisturizes the face, the serum made from oils helps create a barrier on the surface of the face (skin), traps moisture and prevents the natural water in our skin from evaporating.

This serum does not moisturize the skin but keeps it from drying out.

We often hear that natural oils are beneficial for the skin, such as olive oil, sweet almond oil, argan oil, ... and many other oils, but we do not prefer to use these oils because these oils leave an oily layer on the skin that is difficult for the skin to absorb.

The chemical particles that make up the oil have a large size, which prevents the skin from absorbing it, the smaller the oil molecules, the faster their absorption. So what is the solution so that we can benefit from the oils and absorb them by the skin?

In this article, I will teach you how to convert any natural oil into a professional serum similar to the serums on the market.

The secret is found in one component, which is Coco-Caprylite, it is used in a large amount in the serums that are sold in the market it characterized by extremely rapid penetration into the skin. It is a natural silicone, where many brands use synthetic silicone because its cost is cheaper, but Coco Caprylite is 100 percent natural extracted from coconut oil.

 why do we use it here?:Just to help the skin absorb the beneficial oils for the skin and even give a smooth texture to the skin.

Ingredients of the serum that we will be preparing today:

50% coco-caprylite=4g

31% jojoba oil=2.5g

15% argan oil=1.25g

4% vitamin E=0.25g

You can add any oils you like to use.

We mix all the ingredients in a special serum bottle, yes, only this and you will get a high quality serum. You can replace the oils as you like.

Note: Vitamin E helps the serum to maintain its quality for a long time, but if it is not available to you, you can not use it

Do you use sunscreen on a daily basis?

 Do you use sunscreen on a daily basis?

Unfortunately many will answer no

Despite the importance of sunscreen, many people do not know it.

The sun's rays that reach the planet are two types of rays, uva relative to aging and uvb relative to burning

The first causes wrinkles and the second causes burning, browning and cancerous diseases

The function of sunscreen is to protect the skin of both types.

The sun block protects from the uvb rays by a number written on the package externally, which is the spf or sun protection factor, while it protects you from the uva rays through the PA and next to it + or ++ or +++, and when buying sunscreen you must take care of both together.

While the types of sunscreen are divided into chemical and physical types.

As for the physicist, he is the one who turns your skin into a mirror, so the sun’s rays are reflected on it, and nothing is absorbed from it and is safer, but one of its most important problems is its annoying texture and color.

While chemical is the one that absorbs sunlight and converts it into hot infrared rays, and this type is not suitable for oily skin, especially with large pores.

Sunscreen should be used in summer and winter

Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours.

How do I get rid of cellulite

 

Cellulite is a complex layer of fat composed of water and lipids, which is concentrated under the surface layer of the skin and is formed as a result of the breakdown of the fat layer under the skin in the connective tissue area, and it stands out in the form of irregular and divergent fat masses that remain close to the surface of the skin, so they remain prominent and lead to Ripples and wrinkles in the outer skin, which we see, appearing as overlapping skin lines, in other words, cellulite.

Unfortunately, women are more susceptible to cellulite because the man has a deep fatty mass. Whatever water and fat are formed, they will not emerge from the natural fat layer.

Cellulite emergence factors

There are several factors that generally affect the appearance and clarity of cellulite, such as:

*Unhealthy lifestyle, unhealthy and unbalanced diets.

*Lack of physical activity.

*As well as slow metabolism and hormonal changes in the body,

*Pregnancy

*Menopause

*Dry skin,

Also, *the amount of fat in the body and* the thickness of the skin color plays a big role in the visibility and appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite treatment:

1- Creams

There are several creams and lotions that promise to rid you of cellulite, such as creams containing retinol. Some studies have found that it may actually have a role in stimulating collagen production in the skin and increasing its thickness, thus reducing the clarity of the cellulite problem.

As well as products containing caffeine, they help shrink fat cells when applied directly to the skin.

However, noticing the effect of summarizing cellulite with these creams is still short-lived, and more studies and applications are needed to find the magic cream in treating the problem of cellulite.

2- Massage

You are doing a thigh massage at home or with a specialist who will help you reduce the appearance of cellulite and work to stretch the fat lines for cellulite in the area de-stretching.

3- Drink water

Make sure to drink water a lot, because the water not only makes your skin moisturized all the time, and it also helps the flow of elements inside your body and reduces their clumping and appearance in the form of wrinkles.

4- Exercise

Exercise is one of the best ways to eliminate cellulite because it helps to tighten the thighs and buttocks, and thus eliminate cellulite
