If you use a body care product incorrectly, you may experience an effect completely opposite to what is stated on the packaging. Cosmetologist, candidate of medical sciences, dermatovenerologist Ekaterina Vasilyeva, founder of Artleo Clinic, told Gazeta.ru about this.
“In the cold season, for body care, it is worth using a dough whose composition is enriched with a peptide mixture, an amino acid complex and macadamia or shea butter. “However, this product should only be applied to dry skin,” he said.
The expert explained that, for example, coconut oil creates a greenhouse effect when it comes into contact with wet skin and dries the skin even more instead of moisturizing it.
“Among other things, our hormonal levels are responsible for the beauty and well-groomed skin. If dryness and tightness appear, you need to get tested and look at your thyroid indicators,” explained Vasilyeva.
The beautician emphasized that fibroblast production directly depends on the functioning of the thyroid gland, and that the thyroid gland regulates the production of collagen, whose main function is elasticity, firmness and moisturizing of the skin.
“We all live in an iodine-deficient area, so it’s a good idea to include iodine-containing foods in your diet, such as cod, pollock, shrimp, seaweed, chicken egg yolks, pine nuts and walnuts,” Ekaterina said.
Additionally, the beautician said the focus in care has now shifted from the face, neck and hands (the main age markers) to the body skin.
