They are skin diseases that remain present for a long time or are usually even permanent.
SELF is very good for skin problems because each product contains ingredients with restorative and protective properties. It cannot cure the problem, but applying it keeps the symptoms under control for many people. That is why I will tell you more about these beautiful substances today and what they do for your skin.
How do skin problems arise?
These are caused by various factors such as a weak immune system, the use of aggressive care products, skin bacteria, stress, but also external factors such as the climate can be the cause.
In case of skin problems, the skin barrier is often disrupted, which means that the skin is less able to retain moisture and is less well protected against all kinds of harmful external influences such as allergens and bacteria.
The right nutrition for problem skin
Our skin needs healthy nutrition, just as the body needs balanced and healthy nutrition to function properly. When dealing with skin problems, it is very important to choose ingredients that restore and protect the skin. The skin barrier is disturbed and needs some time to recover.
1 – Choose mild, natural products
It is best to choose mild and natural products, although natural is not always better. There are also many natural ingredients that can irritate the skin, so always check the ingredients list of your products. It is best to test a new product on the inside of your elbow, so you can see if your skin reacts positively to the product. At SELF we have XXL samples with which you can test for a long time.
Natural care is very different from other skin care. The skin sometimes has to get used to a natural product, which is why it can take up to 6 weeks before you see results. It may even be that the skin is restless at first, but this is a good sign, it means that your skin renewal process is working well again.
