"You have such beautiful skin!" slip me my friends. I admit it without any problem, despite its porcelain color, which has been very fashionable in recent years, it has not always been my best friend! Very white and freckled in the summer, I was often the girl who didn't tan and was asked, "Did you go on vacation this summer?" or better “are you sick? ". I looked at myself in the mirror, complexed, wondering why I never had the pretty caramel complexion of those girls on the beach. Today, with the passing years (and incidentally the collective awareness of the harmful effects of the sun on the skin), I live much better every day with it! Even though my skin is easy to live with, I know that if I expose myself to the sun… I risk getting spots! Suffice to say that I avoid it and avoid it like the plague!
"Pigmentation spots are not just a question of age and lifestyle, otherwise it would be much too simple!"
And beware, pigment spots are not just a question of age and lifestyle, otherwise it would be much too simple...
Indeed, if lentigos (for their exact name) arrive at my house because of the sun (in addition to freckles – oh joy and happiness), they can arrive without warning for several reasons. For example: if you have pimples and you expose yourself to the sun: presto, a stain! Depending on the birth control pill you take, the hormonal balance can be altered and new brown spots appear… again, more spots! Hormonal activation can cause melasma, also called chloasma or pregnancy mask, to appear...
And finally, age spots are also common from the age of 40 on the areas most exposed to the sun such as the hands, face, décolleté and chest (it starts to cause a lot of spots…).
Faced with this totally depressing invasion, I asked my makeup artist friend Danielle for advice. She is used to seeing all skin types and above all, she is the queen of simple tips to adopt! With 20 years of experience in the field, she knows it! His answer was formed into a succinct sentence: “The fruits, my Lucie, the fruits!” I knew of course that the skin is a reflection of what I eat and suddenly that I must favor healthy foods to show a peach skin. What I knew less on the other hand, it was the beneficial effect of certain fruits and certain plants. For example, lemon, thanks to its high level of acidity, eliminates stains. Dandelion and aloe vera can also become allies of choice. That's for the oral route, but fortunately, there are also well-thought-out and fruit-based treatments that can help you (you think so!).
The anti-stain products that make me happy!
I who love cosmetics, I was obviously eager to see the products that can track down the smallest stains.
I tested the peeling with fruit acids signed Alaena just after a day in the sun (protected, I specify!). I really liked its texture, which doesn't irritate the skin (mine is a little capricious with products that are too abrasive!) In addition, the number one happy gesture to reduce them is exfoliation.
Otherwise, I'm also a big fan of the On the Wild Side mask which has a double effect since it's a mask and an exfoliant, when applied, the texture enriched with rice powder and fruit acids evolves to leave a luminous complexion after rinsing. !
On a daily basis, I really like the light texture of Nuori's Vital Foaming Cleanser . Its formula made from oats, betaine and vegetable glycerin has a barrier effect by fighting against external aggressions, it soothes the skin while giving it radiance… every bathroom's best friend!
And for those who still want to feel on vacation or who are going to go there, they will love the pink papaya cleansing gel balm! Its cocoon and refreshing formula is inspired by the beauty secrets of the Mayas as well as Ayurvedic medicine... What a way to go on vacation... without getting a stain!
