New Year, New Skin

By Leave a Comment

The start of a new year almost always means having new goals! Go to the gym, have a more balanced diet, quit smoking, put ourselves first, have a better work-to-life balance.
This year, we want you to be your best YOU. Make time for you and your skin.
Here are 10 simple tips you can use to meet your goals and not give up halfway!

1. Attitude.

Year after year we tend to abandon our purposes without realizing it. We advise you to write down your goals for this new year in your a journal (check-in from time to time).  Achieve your goals through simple acts that end up becoming habits.

2. Expert Hands

For spectacular skin make sure to have routine facials and regularly visit your dermatologist! A skin diagnosis is essential to see its status and determine any necessary adjustments to your routine. You can take one on our website!

 

3. Cleanse the skin twice a day: morning and night.

Clean skin is the first step in step in taking care of your skin!

4. Exfoliate! (At least once a week).

Whatever your skin type, don’t forget to exfoliate! Exfoliation works to eliminate dead cells, prevent the appearance of impurities, as well as improve skin microcirculation. There are many different types of exfoliator! Find the one that best suits your skin here! 

5. Take care of your eyes!

One of the most sensitive parts of the face is the eye contour. The skin around your eyes is 20 times thinner than the rest. Pamper your gaze with the eye contour that best suits you, there are even those that protect against blue light, one of the 4 most present contaminants in our day to day! We also recommend using blue light blocking glasses when needed!

6. Sleep Well

Resting well at night is a beauty must. We advise you to go to bed early, at night your skin is working overtime to try to overturn the possible damage suffered during the day. The Golden Hours (23:00-02:00h) is the time slot in which the skin is most receptive, take advantage of that moment with a concentrated detox or a sleeping mask.

7. Protect yourself.

Your skin has to defend itself day by day from “invisible” enemies, which cause 80% of the signs of aging. There are 4 types of nefarious contamination for your skin: air pollution, solar, domestic pollution and blue light.

If you live in the city, using anti-pollution products is highly recommended.

 

8. Join the #MaskSundaze

Take advantage of your Sundays to dedicate some time to yourself-even if it’s 20 minutes. Put on your favorite playlist- relax and put on your favorite mask! On Monday you will start the week with a radiant and energy-filled face. There’s an immense variety, select the one you want the most, or try a different one every week. #MaskSundaze

9. Consider forgotten areas: neck, neckline and hands.

There are some areas of our body that we usually overlook: the neck, neckline and hands. Take care of them and give them some extra love this year.

10. BodyLove

Make it a goal to feel good about your body! Accept your body for what it is and be thankful for what it allows you to do each day <3

Hydrate it, Move it, Love it, Admire it!

Connect with your body this year.

SKIN HARMED FROM USING A MASK? 😔RECOVER WITH B-CALM 💙🤍

By Leave a Comment

Masks have become an extension of our outfits and as you may have realized, the constant use of this new accessory, the heat and the friction it produces, may cause irritation on the skin of the face. However, we have to wear a mask to protect ourselves and thus stop the spread of this harmful virus.

If your skin has taken a toll from mask use, follow our advice to make it more bearable 😍 If by chance your facial skin is in perfect condition, also follow our advice so it stays that way 😉

How does the mask affect the skin of the face?

One of the main problems of the use of masks is the lack of oxygenation of the face, the sweat and the rubbing on the areas with more pressure. Also, if we add to this that they have a rough finishing this promotes the appearance of acne, redness, dryness, and even dermatitis and desquamation. 

How do I take care of my skin?

– Cleansing💦

One of the most important steps is to cleanse the face before and after using the mask with a gentle cleanser that eliminates dirt, oil, sweat, or even makeup, although you should avoid makeup if you are among the people who are forced to use a mask for many hours a day. We recommend Micellar Water Gel from B-Calm, a gel formulated based on micelles that cleanses deeply without irritating the skin, without having to rub or rinse and respecting the pH. It immediately relieves sensations of stinging and itching and the skin is fresh, comforted, and supple.

– Continuous hydration 💙

 

 

We recommend using light hydrating creams, although also depending on the skin type. In this case the B-Calm line has the Fundamental Moisturizing Cream in two textures: rich and light (depending on the skin type). This product stimulates the natural defense systems and reduces the susceptibility to irritation. It hydrates, soothes, and comforts thanks to its formulation based on an exclusive symbiotic compound: Skinbiome Repair, a prebiotic-probiotic association.

 

If you have dry skin, at night apply more nourishing and repairing products, even the Multi-Regenerating Rose Hip Oil, a powerful regenerating, hydrating, nourishing, rejuvenating, and wound-healing treatment that will become an “essential”.

 

 

 

– Intensive care.

We need a product that immediately relieves in case of adverse reactions. For this, apply a small dose locally or globally, as many times as you wish, of the SOS Intensive Care Facial Balm from B-Calm that relieves and comforts. In just a few days this balm will regulate the mechanisms involved in the reddening and irritation. The skin will recover uniformity, smoothness, and tranquility.

It has an immediate action, in less than 2 minutes it soothes the sensation of pruritus and stinging.

Facials: The key for healthy and glowing skin!

By Leave a Comment

Facials blog pic

Just thinking of a facial makes us glow and feel relaxed! However, the main purpose of facials is to maintain your skin healthy, not just for relaxation. Every day we are exposed to many elements that cause lots of damage to our skin, and even though using the right products helps, our face still requires deep cleaning sessions. But how often should you be getting a facial? Well, this is not a “one size fits all” kind of answer. It all depends on your age and the condition of your skin.

How often do you NEED a facial?

If you are between the ages of 18 – 22:

The time period for ages 18-22 years old is around 8-10 weeks. If your skin is oily, then you can get facials every 2-3 weeks, but once your skin is free of oils you can switch back to once a month facials.

If you are over 30:

The recommended time to have a facial after the age of 30 is every 3-4 weeks. During this time period, your skin is able to generate cell growth.

Why you should get a facial.

Having facials on the regular will help you maintain a glowing and healthy skin while reducing aging signs. Getting a facial regularly will help you improve blood circulation with massaging techniques, cleanse your skin to prevent breakouts and allow your skin to breath by opening the pores.

Here are some major benefits of facials:

– Thorough cleansed skin!

– Softening and removal of blackheads and whiteheads by manual extraction.

– Temporary improvement of dehydrated skin by applying nourishing masks that restore your skin.

– Temporarily smoothing out wrinkles.

– Skin exfoliation for a smoother surface.

– Help fade brown discolorations and improve skin tone

Having healthy skin is important, not just because it will make you look and feel beautiful, it is key for your overall health. Don’t forget that a regular skin care routine is a must for your facial results to last, so keep up with your routine to get your money’s worth! Washing your face at least two times a day can help you maintain your facial glow.
