Did you know that the skin is the largest organ of the human body? It plays an important role in protecting against a range of external threats and defends us against bacteria and harmful substances.
Air pollution, a problem in urban areas, can have negative effects on the health of the dermis. Fine pollutant particles can lodge in the pores, leading to inflammation, acne, and premature aging.
Furthermore, prolonged exposure to solar radiation can lead to burns, spots, allergies, and even skin cancer.
Visible light—the infamous lamps and screens—can also worsen the quality of the dermis.
During the autumn/winter seasons, devitalized skin, that is, unprotected skin, can also suffer from redness, itching, dryness, and other issues.
Focus on prevention!
Some care in your routine helps with protection:
Hydrate well before and after sun exposure, as it helps prevent dryness and flaking, keeps the skin soft and smooth, and also contributes to protection against external factors, including pollution.
For the body, you can use the Copaíba Hydra Body Lotion
It contains active ingredients, including beta-caryophyllene with a soothing and dermoprotective effect, and coconut water silicon, a moisturizer, remineralizer, and reconditioner that increases collagen levels. In addition to palmitic acid from cupuaçu, which contributes to the skin's absorption and retention of water.
Use the product in the morning and before bed, or after a shower, using circular motions. Do not forget to apply it to your knees and elbows, as these areas tend to be drier.
For your face, you can use the Dragon's Blood Antioxi Facial Serum. It features the active ingredient proanthocyanidin, an antioxidant 20 times more potent than vitamin C and 50 times more potent than vitamin E. The active ingredient neutralizes free radicals, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, stimulates collagen production, firms the skin, evens out skin tone, prevents spots, contributes to regeneration, and deeply hydrates—all to prevent premature aging.
Invest in an extra layer of protection. Wear a hat, sunglasses, or clothing with UV protection.
Regarding sunscreens, be aware of those with chemical substances; they are dangerous to our body, causing hormonal disruption, among other issues.
With this in mind, soon, here at AMAKOS da Amazônia, you will be able to find sunscreens formulated with natural ingredients and committed to clean beauty.
They will be developed according to the principles of sustainable beauty, providing care without harming the environment or your health.
It is worth remembering: protecting your skin is not just a matter of aesthetics, but of health. Therefore, incorporate practices into your routine that will ensure healthy skin in the long term!
