Telva Scandinavian Beauty: These are the rituals and active of the Swedes to always have incredible skin

El cuidado de la piel en los países escandinavos y concretamente en Suecia es totalmente opuesto a la rutina de cuidado de la piel de Corea, donde se recomienda que apliquemos nada menos que 10 productos al día para cuidar la piel.

And with the permission of the Nívea skin of the Koreans, we love the good skin of the Scandinavian girls.There is nothing more to see the faces of Elsa Hosk or Alicia Vikander to understand it.

Therefore, we talked to Lars Fredriksson, founder of the Swedish firm for skin care skincare that assures us that "the key to a good skin lies in simplicity because most of the Scandinavians combine a couple of products and that iseverything.In my opinion, it is better to use one or two products in the morning and one or two products at night that adapt to your skin to achieve real results ".

Sometimes, excess product can cause a poros, redness and acne outbreaks.

So the expert recommends trusting the basics.Swedish skin care routine is very simple, compared to Korean routine that consists of at least 10 products...

One or two products in the morning and at night would they be enough in the Swedish beauty ritual if they are rich in active ingredients?

Yes.In fact, if we look at the list of ingredients of any cosmetic and use about 10 products per day, we expose our skin to about 500 ingredients.I'm not really sure that this is necessary for your skin.You can use less products, with high quality and very effective ingredients to provide the same or even better results.Another issue would be the so -called "cocktails" products, that is, products with many active ingredients.

So is it better to return to the basics that the skin needs and be careful with layering?

What is clear is that less is more is Scandinavian beauty philosophy.Do not stress your skin and at least always use a moisturizing and nutritious cream.

Yes tiene dermatitis, eccema o piel muy seca ¿qué ingredientes necesitaría nuestra piel?

Acids such as AHA and BHA, antioxidants such as vitamin C, retinol and sun protection.Dermatitis and eczema are medical conditions that you should consult with your doctor.And assets such as niacinamide (vitamin B3) can repair, improve and build the skin barrier, which is the key to healthy and balanced skin, especially in dry skin or accuse the passage of time, it has innumerable benefits.

Is it good to use tomorrow and night cleaners with AHA and BHA acids to renew the skin?

They can be used both in the morning and at night if the products are not too aggressive. Yes los usas por la mañana, recuerda siempre ponerte protección solar, ya que los ácidos pueden hacer que su piel sea más sensible a los rayos UV.A good option is to add an antioxidant product after using products with this type of acid, since antioxidants are found on the outer side of the skin and can disappear after using an exfoliation.

And what products would we use with our moisturizer?

Yesempre un sérum y una crema con protección solar si nos exponemos al sol.

Is it true that for the Swedes...For all skin types?

Yes.In the southern Europe, the sun is more aggressive and you are exposed to UV rays much more than in the Nordic countries.

Would it be enough for us to use a cleaner and an anti -aging product rich in retinol to hydrate our skin at night to improve its texture and combat the signs of aging?

Yes, todos debemos usar al menos un producto con retinol (vitamina A) al día.Vitamin A has excellent benefits for the skin and will give it a healthy, young and luminous appearance.

When do you recommend that we use acids and when retinol?Is it better not to use them together?

Soft or little concentrated acid products can be very good with retinol, but it is necessary to be very careful, since acids have an exfoliating effect and can eliminate the corneal layer of the skin, which will make it more sensitive.No retinol or any product that contains it should be used after using a strong chemical exfoliation.

Can you use an acid cleaner and then a product (cream or serum) with retinol to improve the skin?Wouldn't you have contraindications?

Yes su piel está acostumbrada a los productos de cuidado de la piel y no es sensible, podrías utilizarlos algunos días a la semana y mejorar el efecto del retinol.However, care must be taken because there are contraindications in some skins after using acids and this combination is not possible to be adequate if you have a sensitive skin.
