Watch out for chronic reactions  

However, we must distinguish an inflammation called acute, which is an immediate response to a short-term attack that heals with or without treatment of the so-called chronic inflammation which progresses and can worsen over time. Indeed, throughout our life, the skin will undergo aggressions linked to our lifestyle (stress, malnutrition, UV, lack of sleep, etc.), the polluted environment and the intrinsic aging process called "inflammaging” which will generate inflammatory processes permanent 

This chronic inflammation is a silent, invisible inflammation responsible for 80% of age-related pathologies such as cancers and skin aging. It increases over time.

How to choose a treatment for soothed skin 

We give you some tips to choose your cosmetics well and especially to learn to avoid all those who are aggressive.   

Look for the term "soothing" when buying your cosmetics

First, be aware that if you look for the term anti-inflammatory on the packaging of your skincare products, you won't find it because it is not authorized for cosmetics but only for drugs. It is the term "soothing" that most often replaces it. Opt for active anti-inflammatory plant substances recognized asaloe vera provided it is fresh, the rose, the orange blossom, the bisabolol vegetable, neroli, calendula, lavender essential oil, rosemary, essential fatty acids, natural vitamin E to name the main ones.  

Since oxidation is also a source of ignition, use all antioxidant active ingredients.

 
Skin cleansing again and again a fundamental step 

Do not do the impfocuses on cleansing your skin at night which unclogs your pores, eliminates air pollutants and restores the hydrolipidic film, this first protective barrier against inflammation.  

Be sure to choose cleansers or lotions that contain anti-inflammatory active ingredients and avoid those using a sulfated detergent or polysorbate or PEG-40. Don't worry, you will find them under these names in the list of ingredients on the back of your cosmetics. 

In general, avoid all treatments containing PEGs, silicones and paraffin which clog pores and promote inflammation.  

Make sure that there is always an anti-inflammatory active in all your treatments, whether it is a cleanser, cream, mask, serum or exfoliant.  
The more you pamper your skin, the better it will be! 

 
Unsuspected anti-inflammatory drugs for skin regeneration

Beyond treatment, you will be able to act against inflammation by practicing sports, which release anti-inflammatory mediators, and by getting a good night's sleep, which regenerates anti-inflammatory substances.
We cannot say it enough, food hygiene is just as important for beautiful and well-calmed skin. Limit the intake of sugars and saturated fats, both of which are pro-inflammatory. Favor them 
omega 3 and 6 that you will find in some virgin oils, oily fish, ginger, turmeric as well as fruits and vegetables as long as they are fresh!
