Smooth and Soft Skin

Generality

Undisputed instrument of seduction along with long hair and defined lips, smooth and soft skin is a desire that a good chunk of the female world aspires to.

Let's immediately dispel the belief that silky smooth skin can only be admired in photographs, thanks to skilled graphic retouching. Based on this belief, many women have unfortunately surrendered to the idea of ​​not being able to obtain smooth skin, in excellent condition and free from imperfections such as scars left by "acne, pimples, expression lines, blackheads and quantum" Other. Having a smooth, soft and elastic skin is no longer just an "unattainable aspiration: it is enough to put into practice some small behavioral precautions and use the right products to exhibit perfect skin.

Precautions

Behavioral precautions to obtain a Smooth and Soft Skin

The main precautions to follow to have a smooth, soft and healthy skin mainly concern the lifestyle.
First of all, following a "balanced diet and practicing a constant" sporting activity are two simple basic rules for promoting an ideal state of health, which inevitably is also reflected in a positive way in the appearance of the skin. Leading a regular life can only help. to the general well-being of the person, both physical and psychological: not surprisingly, it is said that the skin is the mirror of health.
Furthermore, a correct lifestyle should be free from harmful vices both for the skin and for the organism as a whole, such as smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol and spirits.
However, when these precautions are not sufficient to guarantee perfectly smooth skin, modern cosmetics can undoubtedly support - in an excellent way, among other things - the beneficial action promoted by nutrition and sport.

Cosmetics

Choose the right products to have a smooth and soft skin

Beauty products aim to optimize the appearance of the skin: very often, however, men and women who regularly use cosmetics to achieve smooth and perfect skin declare themselves dissatisfied with the same products, accusing them of not keeping their promises. more often than not, the failure of a beauty treatment is not so much due to the composition of that specific cosmetic, but rather the unsuitable choice of the same. Starting from this premise, it is well understood how essential it is to choose the right products: every type of skin requires a specific treatment. Clearly, in addition to being functional, cosmetics must not attack or irritate the skin: the delicate ones formulated with natural extracts are undoubtedly preferred.
Only the selection of the right products - and their constant application - can bring an effective benefit to the skin, such as to make it smooth, radiant and perfect.
Which cosmetics to choose, then, to exhibit a smooth and imperfection-free skin?

Oily Skin

With the right treatments, even oily and acne-prone skin can become smooth and smooth. The exfoliating treatment is undoubtedly the most suitable for smoothing the skin, removing the typical crusts that cover pimples and encouraging cell renewal. Exfoliating creams - formulated with alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid etc. - they must however be used with moderation and common sense to avoid unnecessarily irritating the skin.
Impure skin can also be smoothed with physical exfoliants: for example, horsehair gloves or mesh sponges are ideal tools for smoothing and making the skin more homogeneous in critical areas.
The exfoliating treatment, however, is not always sufficient to have a smooth and soft skin: the skin also needs to be deeply hydrated with specific cosmetics (eg hyaluronic acid creams) and protected from the very dangerous UV rays of the sun.

Dry skin

Similarly to the previous case, even carefully treated dry skin can become smooth, radiant and soft. For this purpose, it is recommended to use emollient and softening cosmetics such as vegetable oils and waxes (sweet almond oil, argan oil, liquid jojoba wax), butters (eg.cocoa butter, shea butter) and bee products such as honey or beeswax. Again, exfoliating products are very useful for removing dead cells, and at the same time stimulating cell turnover.

Mixed Skin

Combination skin is a particular type of skin that is characterized by the alternation of areas of dry skin with areas where the skin is, on the other hand, oily. In this case, the choice of the right products is definitely essential to obtain smooth skin. and soft, as well as healthy.
In fact, if you use too aggressive detergents and cosmetics, you will face irritation of the driest areas and you will get an overproduction of sebum which will worsen the appearance of the fattest areas. Similarly, emollient, film-forming and excessively nourishing products are not suitable for the treatment of this type of skin.
In fact, mixed skin requires the use of delicate, moisturizing (but not occlusive) and sebornomalizing cleansers and products.
Again, exfoliating products and scrubs can be useful, as long as they are performed at least a week apart.

Useful tips

Whatever the type of skin, it is possible to support the action of cosmetic products by following some simple precautions. The advice listed below can thus facilitate the action of creams and treatments, in order to obtain (and maintain) a smooth and sanded longer:

• Always apply skin care products after thorough cleansing, which must be performed with mild, non-irritating cleansers.
• Avoid polluted places and do not smoke.
• Avoid washing too frequent (more than 3 per day) or very sparse (less than one per day).
• Yes to purifying masks (eg clay mask) for impure skin.
• Yes to nourishing compresses with vegetable oils for dry skin.

Hair removal

Smooth and soft skin is also synonymous with skin free of unwanted hair. Men and women, always attentive to the aesthetic aspect, devote more and more attention to the care and beauty of the skin. There are more types of hair removal. In general, the depilatory techniques to obtain a smooth and soft skin, free of unwanted hair are:

• Waxing / depilatory strips: very popular method of hair removal which involves the removal of the entire hair at the root. After applying a special hot liquid wax (beeswax, rosin and paraffin) to the skin, the hairs are abruptly plucked with the help of a special fabric that adheres perfectly to the wax. Hot waxing is a medium pain method commonly used by women (and some men too) to achieve smooth, soft skin. The result, thanks to the removal of the hair shaft but also of the bulb, lasts approximately 2-4 weeks.
• Depilatory creams (chemical depilatory methods): they act by directly attacking the keratin structure of the hair, at the level of the skin. Depilatory creams break the disulfide bridges that make up keratin (the protein that forms the hair), so that the almost burnt hair is easily removed with a simple wash. This hair removal method guarantees extremely soft and smooth skin for a handful of days.
• Hair removal with razor: painless, fast and very practical hair removal technique that involves removing the hair through specific razors or razors. Hair removal with a razor, however, has a major drawback: after treatment, in fact, the hairs tend to grow back more robust and sharp, and the "smooth skin" effect vanishes after a couple of days.
• Elimination of unwanted hair with an electric epilator. The electric epilator is a tool that allows you to perform an effective removal of unwanted hair through a series of "motorized" tweezers placed on the mobile head of the instrument. The electric epilator removes unwanted hair by plucking it at the root, thus ensuring smooth and soft skin for several weeks.
• Electroepilation with needle (diathermocoagulation): this depilatory technique consists in the application of a low voltage electric current that acts directly on the hair bulb. The electric current, transforming into thermal energy, destroys the proteins that make up the hair bulb ; consequently, semi-permanent hair removal is favored.
• Photothermolysis with pulsed light (IPL): this technique is catching the interest of many boys and girls, attracted by the idea of ​​having a smooth and soft skin for very long periods. This depilatory method - not painless among other things - involves the application of a particular pulsed light instrument on the skin to remove unwanted hair. By targeting the melanin (pigment that gives color to the hair) of the bulb, this high intensity polychromatic light is transformed into heat: in this way, the vital structures of the hair itself are denatured and its regrowth is inhibited for many weeks (or in permanently after a few sessions).
• Laser hair removal. The elimination of unwanted hair with the laser is based on a principle similar to that of pulsed light. In fact, the emission of the laser generates heat that heats the hair, gradually thinning it, session after session, until it is completely eliminated.

To obtain a smooth and soft skin and, above all, free of unwanted hair, there is no better depilatory method than another: the choice of the tool for hair removal is purely subjective and depends on the duration of the result you want to obtain, on the practicality of the method and individual sensitivity In fact, people with particularly sensitive skin may not tolerate "traumatic" depilatory methods such as, for example, waxing or an electric epilator.
