Healthy eating and the supplements you need.

Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is recommended throughout the year and, although it may be more difficult in winter than in summer, it is just as compelling now. But there are certain vitamins and minerals and in this case, foods that you must emphasize! In case of deficit and for proper results, do not forget about food supplements.

Here are the nutrients your skin needs:

• Vitamin A: repairs the tissues, thus preventing wrinkles and stretch marks, deeply nourishes the skin, and can soothe the itching that atopic skin faces. You can assimilate vitamin A from eggs, carrots, spinach, tomatoes, mangoes, and milk.

• Vitamin B7 or biotin moisturizes and enhances skin elasticity. You should eat peanuts, nuts, peanuts, eggs, and oysters in the cold season;

• Indispensable in the regime of a beautiful complexion, vitamin C protects against free radicals, has antioxidant effects, and participates in the formation of collagen. You can get it from rosehip, sea buckthorn, citrus, broccoli, apples, green vegetables, peppers, tomatoes, blueberries, or strawberries.

• Vitamin E also has antioxidant properties, preventing premature aging and improving the appearance of the skin. Almonds, olive oil, lentils, and beef are rich in this nutrient.

• Minerals: zinc is great if you have oily skin and helps fight acne. On the other hand, selenium protects against radiation, can prevent skin cancer, and is found in whole grains, seafood, garlic, and eggs.

Moisturizes the skin inside and out.

Hydration is an essential mission for the beauty of the skin and must be done in two ways: inside and outside.

First, drink the two liters of fluids that are recommended by your doctor during the day. Fresh and beneficial water can be supplemented with natural juices, teas, or soups.

On the outside, use a more nourishing and creamy face cream than in the warm season. You can also add a serum, which you can apply before the cream.

Don't forget the hand cream either!

You need at least 3 in the cold season: one in your bag, one on your desk, and one at home. At Ducfarm online pharmacy you have a diverse range of moisturizing hand creams. "Ask and it will be given to you": we recommend two of our favorites: La Roche Posay hand cream and Cerave hand cream!

Protect your skin from the sun!

It doesn't matter what the winter is like and you haven't seen the sun in good weather: it's still there, in the sky, and if its brightness doesn't penetrate beyond the blanket of clouds, the radiation certainly does.

Have you ever forgotten about your skin?

In winter we tend to forget about the skin of the body, especially since it is covered by the thick clothes of the season. But just your favorite wool sweater, so soft and warm, can irritate the skin, affecting it. Dry brushing, hot oil massage, and a moisturizing shower gel complete with a body cream are solutions to use now.

A steam bath opens the pores and facilitates the absorption of creams!

When it's cold outside, a steam bath can be your number one treat this winter. Bend your head with a towel over a container of hot water to which you have added a few sachets of tea or a handful of dried herbs. Immediately apply a moisturizer or mask after the steam bath.

The massage is wonderful!

Whether you choose a massage performed at the salon or home, the results will be wow. However, try to perform gentle but firm movements every night, when applying the face cream, from the bottom up and from the inside to the outside, activating the blood circulation, supporting the lymphatic drainage, and rejuvenating the skin.
