Change of season: the right actions to take

The seasons dictate the skin's life and condition, particularly during fall and spring. These are "intermediate phases" where temperatures and humidity vary. The epidermis must make an effort to adapt. Several signs of discomfort can occur: tightness, dehydration, blemishes. Since the skin is the only part of the body directly exposed to climatic factors, it is necessary to comfort it with appropriate care and gestures. Here are 6 tips to adopt.

 

Tip #1: A suitable beauty routine

Seasonal changes are the best time to adapt and modify your skincare routine. It's THE ultimate transition period . With the arrival of winter, blood circulation slows down: the cold constricts the blood vessels that nourish the skin. Conclusion: the skin has far fewer nutrients, so it's important to find appropriate skincare products from the beginning of fall.

Some skin types are more vulnerable than others to periods of extreme cold, particularly thin, sensitive, and dry skin. A simple and tailored beauty routine can help maintain their beauty. We therefore favor ingredients like jojoba oil, shea butter , and apricot kernel oil to bring radiance to the skin.

When the seasons change, the beauty routine consists of 3 essential steps :
  • Cleansing : It removes impurities and leaves skin soft and comfortable for future care. Léonia Gentle Cleansing Gel combines the antioxidant power of white tea with the soothing and softening properties of apricot kernel oil and shea butter. Enriched with moisturizing active ingredients, it instantly and gently removes impurities.
  • Serum : This concentrate of active ingredients deeply cares for the skin and prepares it for treatment. Léonia Radiance & Antioxidant Booster Serum fuses with the skin for a hydrating, radiant, and protective effect. Enriched with white tea extracts, it has anti-aging, plumping, and toning properties.

 

Tip #2: Focus on exfoliation

To retain body heat and maintain a healthy metabolism, you need to help and support your body. Exfoliating your skin once or twice a week helps restore healthy, purified skin. The skin is soft and free of impurities, restoring its radiance.
Exfoliating also allows the skin to better absorb the treatments that follow, to prepare for the cold and help the epidermis form a protective barrier against external aggressions.
When choosing your scrub, it's best to choose products containing sugar or rice powder. Their exfoliating action allows for a perfect, gentle cleansing of the skin. Léonia's Milky White Tea Scrub contains white tea and plant oils that nourish, soften, and protect the skin.

Tip #3: Favor hyaluronic acid-based treatments

Plant-based hyaluronic acid is THE most reliable active ingredient during a change of seasons. Synthesized from the fermentation of wheat and corn, this active ingredient is known for its high hydrating and plumping properties. It helps maintain a high level of hydration, retain water in cells, and provide elasticity to the skin.
This ingredient is also anti-aging and toning and helps even the most dehydrated skin get through winter. Combined with the antioxidant properties of white tea, it is an essential anti-aging treatment. Léonia Radiance Booster & Antioxidant Serum , enriched with white tea and hyaluronic acid, combats the tightness caused by the cold and leaves the skin soft and hydrated all day long.

Tip #4: Hydrate and nourish the skin

Moisturizing and nourishing your skin are two of the key steps in the change of seasons. These two terms are different; it's important to find a balance to maintain healthy skin.
Hydration means adding water to the skin. If your skin feels tight, lacks suppleness, or produces too much sebum, it needs a hydrating agent. Therefore, you can mix a few drops of oil into your moisturizer.

Nourishing your skin means giving it lipids that it can't secrete. Vegetable oils are valuable allies for nourishing the skin. Opt for a synergy of oils to deeply repair the skin and prepare it to face the December cold. This way, you can avoid post-summer crocodile skin with soft skin.

Ingredients such as camellia oil, sweet almond and borage oil form a protective barrier and resolve problems linked to the deterioration of the hydrolipidic film.

 

Tip #5: Detoxify

Beautiful skin begins with a balanced diet. What we eat plays a vital role in preparing our skin for the changing seasons.

To maintain a radiant complexion throughout the fall and winter months, it's essential to stock up on antioxidants. White tea, the world's most powerful antioxidant, provides all the nutrients the body needs.

White tea is often associated with the "Elixir of Immortality." Thanks to its numerous antioxidants, it allows the body to defend itself against any possible external attack. It helps improve natural defenses. It is therefore particularly effective during winter by boosting the immune system. Drinking it helps promote good hydration.

There is no restriction regarding the right time to drink the White Tea : In the morning for breakfast, at lunchtime, as a snack, or even in the evening. Contrary to popular belief, this beverage can be consumed throughout the day due to its low caffeine content. However, it is recommended not to consume more than 4 cups per day.

However, it is recommended to avoid drinking white tea in the middle of a meal and prefer it after the meal, as it absorbs the iron contained in food (approximately 20 minutes after eating for example). If you wish to enjoy white tea before the meal, you can do so approximately 1 hour before sitting down to eat.

Tip #6: Sleep

The arrival of fall and winter has a real impact on our metabolism. The days are getting shorter and the cold is setting in. Yet, fall is the best season to take care of yourself and rest. It's also during the night that the skin regenerates to renew itself.
Often, 8 hours of sleep isn't enough in the fall: the body, like its environment, goes into "hibernation" mode. It's obviously important to slow down, but you also need to maintain a sleep schedule. If you feel tired, a 20-minute nap will give you energy.
In the evening, after a light meal, a bubble bath and a few candles will allow you to enjoy a moment of rest and relaxation. Then, cover yourself up and cozy up under your duvet with a good book. By preparing your body for bed this way, fatigue should set in more quickly and your sleep will be restful.
