Madina Bayramukova, plastic surgeon

Many procedures at the turn of summer and autumn are still undesirable for the fair sex for one reason or another. For example, laser skin resurfacing is recommended to be postponed until mid-late autumn so as not to expose damaged skin to sunlight. Since at the beginning of autumn the sun can still be active, which threatens the appearance of pigmentation on the face. But representatives of phototypes I and II and residents of the northern regions may well resort to it.

It is worth refraining from photorejuvenation for a while, since this procedure, designed to eliminate hyperpigmentation on the face, must be carried out under certain conditions - in the absence of tan marks on the face. Therefore, it is also better to postpone it at least to the middle of autumn, provided that for this period you are not planning a vacation in some hot country.

with foams with AHA acids at home . AHAs are water-soluble alpha hydroxy acids that are used to exfoliate and hydrate the skin. You can also use enzyme peels or resort to superficial peels in the beautician's office to cleanse the skin.

The main acids that are used in chemical peels today are fruit acids, among them glycolic, lactic, malic, citric and mandelic acids are most common. Mandelic acid is a good fat dissolver. Great for loosening sebum. The chemical structure is similar to an antibiotic, so its use gives a good antibacterial effect, fights acne, blackheads and seborrhea. Plus it is an antioxidant. It is used in peelings when there is a need to stimulate the skin, enhance the lifting effect, smooth out wrinkles, and also to combat acne and hyperkeratosis. The main advantage of peelings based on mandelic acid is their all-season, they do not cause photosensitivity, so they can be used at any time, including summer.

Peels based on salicylic acid are no less popular. Salicylic acid is an active anti-acne ingredient and a good antiseptic: it effectively removes oily skin, removes hyperkeratosis, cleanses comedones, prevents clogging of pores, disinfects the skin, and therefore is excellent for oily, acne-prone skin.

The main task of peels is to remove dead particles of epidermal cells from the surface of the skin in order to exfoliate them. Thanks to this, we get a smooth surface that reflects light, and the skin begins to literally shine.

There are also acid peels for home use. Products for home use with acids are not as aggressive as salon peels, at the same time they improve skin tone, give firmness and elasticity. The main thing is to follow the instructions on the package.

With overdried skin after a summer vacation and the sun, injection procedures such as a course of biorevitalization or mesotherapy . The active ingredient in these injections is hyaluronic acid , which promotes high-quality hydration and skin rejuvenation at the cellular level.

Do not forget about all-weather procedures. In addition to cleansing the skin, these include applying masks and cosmetic facial massage , which also needs to be carried out in a course of 10-15 procedures. Massage helps to improve blood microcirculation and improves cellular respiration.
