Active ingredients - Orientana BB cream
Orientana BB creams, in addition to evening out skin tone and protecting against UVB radiation, are characterized by exceptional care effects. Ginseng extract together with vitamin E support the fight against the signs of passing time, and natural film-forming biopolymers maintain moisture in the skin, giving it a healthy look. Plant glycol - Propanediol is responsible for providing proper hydration, and rice bran oil supports skin regeneration. Below I present you a list of active ingredients in Orientana BB cream along with a short analysis. Panax Ginseng Root Extract – Korean ginseng extract. This plant is one of the most well-known adaptogens, i.e. it helps strengthen immunity to external factors and reduce the effects of stress. It contains ginsenosides – a group of about 30 compounds with the nature of triterpene saponins, also called panaxosides. From a chemical point of view, ginsenosides are glycosides – this means that they consist of two parts: non-sugar (so-called aglycone) and sugar (most often it is simply a glucose molecule). Such a specific structure of these substances ensures their biological activity and high bioavailability. Ginseng extract is also rich in micro- and macroelements and vitamins – including B vitamins, vitamin C, E and PP. Regular use of cosmetics with ginseng extract visibly supports skin regeneration processes and slows down its aging processes. Studies have shown that skin care products containing 2% ginseng extract help protect collagen fibers from degradation. The extract is also rich in polysaccharides and phenolic compounds, which are responsible for antioxidant and skin protection against sun damage; Oryza Sativa Bran Oil - rice bran oil - a light yet enveloping and nourishing natural emollient. It is rich in EFAs, phytosterols and antioxidants (including ferulic acid), thanks to which it has a revitalizing effect, supports skin regeneration processes and delays its aging processes; Propanediol – plant glycol, perfectly moisturizes the skin by binding water in the epidermis, provides the effect of soft and elastic skin; Plant-based silicone analogues – Coco-Caprylate/Caprate (emollient obtained from coconut fatty alcohols) and Isoamyl Laurate (obtained from wheat seeds and coconut oil) – soften and smooth the skin, prevent transepidermal water loss; A complex of plant waxes – from jojoba, mimosa and sunflower flower petals. They provide a comfortable, velvety feel on the skin, creating a smooth film on its surface that protects it from losing moisture; Fucocert – a polysaccharide rich in fructose with a strongly moisturizing and soothing effect, improves the condition of the skin, supports anti-aging effects and exceptionally smoothes it, giving the feeling of "velvety skin to the touch"; Larch polysaccharide (galactoarabinan) – creates a delicate film on the skin surface, preventing transepidermal water loss; helps optically reduce the visibility of fine wrinkles. Thanks to their dispersion properties, they stabilize and sometimes increase the SPF value in sunscreen cosmetics;

What is BB cream? Discover the new Orientana
BB Creams - History The abbreviation "BB" comes from the English language and means " Blemish Balm ", which in free translation means "blemish balm". This enigmatic name comes from the history of this interesting cosmetic, which we will tell below. German dermatologist (yes – BB creams were created in Germany!) – Dr. Christine Schrammek developed the first BB cream in the second half of the 1960s. She created the product for her patients who had red and irritated skin, wounds and scars after cosmetic procedures (such as microdermabrasion and peeling) or plastic surgery. The product developed by Dr. Schrammek combined care properties and a pigment that helped to cover up redness on the skin – hence the name of the product – “blemish cream”, although today the abbreviation “BB” is also extended as “beauty balm”, which fully reflects the functions of this product. Many years later – in the 90s – improved BB cream formulas gained huge popularity in South Korea, and later in Japan and throughout Asia. Over the years, the formulas of these products were modified to fit very well into consumer trends and expectations – they ensured a natural complexion while camouflaging imperfections well, had a caring effect and provided effective protection against UV radiation. In this way, BB cream made its way back to the West, conquering both the skincare and makeup markets. What exactly is BB cream? By definition, it is a product that combines the properties of care creams, high UV protection, and makeup bases and foundations. It is therefore a multi-purpose and universal product at the same time. What is BB cream used for? makeup → modern BB creams are more than just a regular foundation – they should smooth the skin, even out its color, cover up imperfections, while giving the complexion a natural and fresh look. Conventional BB creams contain silicones in their compositions, thanks to which they fill in the depressions and unevenness in the skin, giving the effect of visual smoothing of scars, depressions and fine wrinkles, thus acting at the same time as a smoothing base; care → a big advantage of BB creams over other facial makeup products is that they are rich in skin care ingredients. Most often, these are active ingredients that have moisturizing, antioxidant, nourishing and anti-aging effects; protection → with the growing awareness of consumers about UV protection, many BB creams contain sunscreens in their formulas - both mineral and organic.

How to avoid irritation after shaving?
How to avoid irritation after shaving? Irritation, redness, dryness and a feeling of tightness are common symptoms on the skin after shaving. They appear in both women and men. The skin on the face, armpits and bikini area is most sensitive to such unpleasant symptoms. How to prevent irritation after shaving? Is it possible to completely prevent skin irritation after shaving? It is certainly not possible to completely eliminate this phenomenon, but it is certainly possible to prepare the skin properly. The key to success here will be regular exfoliation of dead skin cells with natural peels. It is also worth ensuring that the skin is strong and does not overreact to external factors. Does exfoliation help avoid irritation after shaving? Before shaving the body, it is worth doing a natural peeling, which will prevent ingrown hairs and also soften them and prepare them for removal. It is best to do such a natural peeling the day before the planned shaving of the skin. The same rule applies to the face. In men who shave every day, mechanical peeling can cause additional irritation of the face. In such cases, it is good to use a natural enzymatic peeling once a week, which does not contain exfoliating particles, but enzymes that dissolve dead cells. How to care for your skin every day to avoid irritation after shaving? It is very important that the skin is as resistant as possible and that shaving is not a problem for it. The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, has a protective function. It protects not only against external factors such as wind or frost. It is also designed to protect the skin from physical "aggressors" such as razor blades or epilators. If the epidermis is in good condition, irritation after shaving will be much less bothersome. If we notice that problems with hypersensitivity of the facial skin are getting worse, it is a good idea to temporarily replace the creams we have used so far with a series of natural cosmetics for sensitive and vascular skin. Strengthening the epidermis as a method to prevent irritation after shaving The epidermis needs, above all, regeneration and rest. It does not like activities that may disturb its integral structure. In particular, it is worth avoiding: too frequent peelings cosmetics with alcohol rubbing with cotton pads or a towel washing cosmetics with SLS skin tanning What to do to strengthen the epidermis? remove makeup thoroughly cleanse the skin with gentle natural cosmetics that do not damage the hydrolipid barrier use natural creams rich in butters and oils moisturize your skin with natural facial tonics if necessary, regularly apply natural regenerating masks Protecting the skin from irritation after shaving So let’s summarize the actions you can take to avoid irritation after shaving: peeling (preferably the day before) avoiding factors and cosmetics that weaken the epidermis taking care of the outer layer of the skin with regenerating natural cosmetics avoiding excessive exposure to the sun protecting the skin with good natural cosmetics.

What to use on irritated skin after shaving?

If the skin is sensitive and overreacts not only to shaving, but also to other factors, natural skin care cosmetics from the Kali Muesli series and other natural ingredients that reduce redness, dryness and hypersensitivity will work perfectly on it.

It grows from hair follicles, the outlets of which are visible on the surface of the skin as pores. Hair is a natural product of the epidermis and while in animals in the form of fur it performs its natural protective and thermal insulation function, we, humans, decided to depilate it. In an evolutionary sense, hair removal by shaving is not a natural process. Skin that is not adapted to shaving therefore reacts with redness and irritation. Additionally, the blades of the razor or epilator, in addition to hair, can damage the skin, causing micro-damage and wounds.

The windows in the Calendar contained information about the specific help that is provided to children and a specially selected quote for each day of December.
