What applies to our facial skin can’t really be wrong for our legs and body, can it? Beautiful skin is primarily characterized by good connective tissue. This is because plump skin with good circulation is usually considered healthy-looking.
With the right care and attention, it should therefore be possible to keep them healthy and looking beautiful. Here are our top 5 tips for healthy skin and beautiful legs.
Top 5 tips and tricks for healthy skin and beautiful legs
1. our body and skin need sufficient moisture, both from the inside and the outside. This is because water is a component of all body cells and is necessary for the metabolism. It is therefore important to drink plenty and provide the body with the fluid it needs from the inside.
Natural ingredients are just as important for external care. These should not be drying. This is often due to the choice of ingredients and artificial fragrances should also be avoided in the selected products. Although it may not be easy to avoid fragrances, they are often the cause of irritation or allergy potential.
Ingredients such as shea butter, urea, glycerin, coconut oil or panthenol, on the other hand, provide good moisturizing support. Spirularin HF Gel and Spirularin HF Mousse , for example, combine intensive moisturizing care with the active microalgae protection of Spiralin against harmful germs. This provides double support for the skin: care and protection. They are also free from synthetic preservatives, allergenic fragrances, parabens and occlusive oils.
2. it is also important to always use adequate sun protection. UV radiation is known to promote skin ageing and possible changes to the skin, both in summer and winter. Our skin reacts to any external changes, whether UV radiation or swimming in water. These remove moisture from the skin and we need to replenish it accordingly (see point 1).
In addition, UV rays can penetrate the skin cells. If we do not protect them sufficiently, oxidative stress occurs. This impairs or even damages the skin cells. The consequences can include skin ageing, sun-damaged skin or an increased risk of cancer.
3 A healthy and balanced diet with plenty of vitamins and antioxidants, fiber and minerals, on the other hand, promotes the regeneration and nourishment of skin cells. Conversely, alcohol, nicotine, sugar and other foods lead to poorer skin development. According to Dr. Yeal Adler, the skin needs “building material and energy for monthly skin renewal and this is optimally provided by our diet. The amount and form of macronutrients we consume is crucial”. (Quote: GEO) Antioxidants in particular, including vitamins A, C, E and the mineral zinc, support the skin in its defense against free radicals.
4. exercise is just as important and this is not necessarily exclusively in the form of sport. Even walking barefoot at home works some muscle groups and promotes blood circulation in the skin. In general, sport is of course considered to promote good blood circulation in the skin and a better sense of well-being in the body with appropriate exercise.
5 Finally, proper skin cleansing is an important factor, whether on the face or body, both are equally important. However, the skin should not be unnecessarily stressed. This means too coarse exfoliation or too frequent exfoliation can injure or irritate the skin instead of helping it to regenerate. The ingredients are also crucial here; light and gentle cleansing is much kinder to the skin and less stressful. It doesn’t always have to hurt or cause redness to achieve good cleansing or removal of dead skin cells.
When used correctly, it stimulates blood circulation and when used correctly, it also provides a pleasant moment of well-being. After cleansing, unwanted hairs can of course also be removed. You can find out what you need to bear in mind here in our expert tips for problem-free hair removal.
