learn how to take care of your body skin

When talking about skin care, usually the first thing that comes to mind is the face. Between applying sunscreen to protect your skin and using serums and moisturizers, it is also important to take care of the skin of your entire body. On social media, the hashtag Body Care has gained more evidence in publications. And the Body Care It may be simpler than it seems. Find out more about the Body Care and how to care for your body skin.

What is it Body Care?

In free translation into Portuguese, Body Care means body care, or body care. It's nothing more than maintaining care routines, just as is done on the face. This routine ranges from hygiene to the use of specific products for this care. But that doesn't mean you should use the same products as on your face on your skin. This is because facial skin tends to be more oily than body skin, so using the same products will have no effect.

For L'Officiel Magazine, Dr. Lílian Brasileiro explained that the body has fewer sebaceous glands, which means it doesn't have as much oil as the face. She also explains that, for this reason, products used on the body must have a greater hydration capacity. Furthermore, the Body Care It can also include products for stretch marks, cellulite or other needs, according to each body's needs. By introducing this care into your routine, it is possible to maintain the health of your body skin, preventing premature aging, dryness and maintaining a balance to protect your skin.

How to make Body Care

As previously stated, the Body Care It ranges from cleaning to protecting and hydrating the skin. Daily cleaning is important to eliminate impurities that adhere to our skin throughout the day – such as pollution and even chlorine and products used in swimming pools. It is important to use a soap that meets your skin's needs. In addition, daily cleaning also helps prevent pimples on the back and shoulders.

Another important point is to avoid hot and especially long baths. Although in winter the best thing to do is take a warm shower, hot water does more harm than good to the skin. This is because in addition to damaging the skin's protective barrier, it can also cause dryness and irritation. Choose cold, warm and faster baths.

Just like the skin on your face, the skin on your body also needs protection. When going to the beach or the club to sunbathe, use sunscreen on your face and body. The use of sun protection must be continuous and not just when sunbathing. And it is even more important for those who do physical activities outdoors during the day. By using sunscreen, it is possible to prevent premature skin aging, cancer and burns.

Last but not least, one of the key points is hydration. To do this, you can use specific body oils and moisturizers. In the case of any type of skin allergy, it is important to consult a dermatologist so that he can recommend the products that will be most suitable for you.

It is also important to remember that care always comes from the inside out. Even using the best products the market can offer, a good diet is essential to get all the necessary vitamins and nutrients. Drinking water is also important. As much as hydration creams help, water keeps the body hydrated from the inside out. Remember, in the case of any health problem, it is essential to see a doctor so that he or she can provide you with the best possible advice.
