Follow these 10 tips from Dr. Cristina Morante, a doctor specializing in Aesthetic, Regenerative, and Anti-Aging Medicine, to keep your skin young and wrinkle-free.
Protect your skin from the sun’s Radiation
The sun, although it is our star, emits a series of radiations that are harmful to our skin. It is the main aging factor for our skin. It produces degenerative changes in our skin that result in the breakdown of elastin and collagen fibers, which are the main components of our skin and on which the role of keeping the skin smooth and soft falls.
Avoid Solariums
Only the skin on our back can absorb vitamin D for 20 minutes. Solariums emit other types of radiation that break down collagen and dehydrate the skin. We could say that although it is necessary to sunbathe to absorb vitamin D, only our back is prepared for it, and we always wear it covered.
Avoid very sudden Weight Changes
The fatty compartment that is located below the dermis and epidermis actually determines the thickness of the skin. The skin’s elasticity means that we can increase our fat compartment, but if we do this very abruptly, the fibers that provide this elasticity break and impoverish the skin, causing stretch marks due to skin breakage or wrinkles to appear.
Don’t Forget Physical Exercise
Although it may seem like a cliché, physical exercise increases the vascularization of our musculoskeletal system and the skin and hair. Peripheral vascularization carries nutrients our organism needs and the oxygen necessary for proper cellular function.
Drink the Recommended Amount of Water
Water helps us eliminate toxins created daily by the normal metabolism of our cells. Adequate hydration will help us keep our organs cleaner and our skin hydrated. We must remember that the hydration of our skin occurs from the inside.
We are what we eat, and that goes into our Skin
Linked to the previous advice, our diet determines the generation of a series of toxins that our body must eliminate to promote the correct functioning of the organs. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables will provide us with a series of vitamins and antioxidants that will help fight against aging.
Forget about stress
Today, we know that stress causes premature aging of our skin and scalp, contributing to dehydrated, dull skin and hair loss. Stress modifies our defenses and thus predisposes us to aging.
Moisturize your Skin Properly
Each one of us is different, and we have different requirements, which is why it is essential to have the active ingredients that our skin needs to stay young (alpha hydroxy acids, vitamins A, E, D, and C, among others, hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants), some advice dermatological that combines the active ingredients we need at all times. Because the skin is a living tissue, autumn’s needs differ from any of the seasons.
Clean your skin twice daily; don’t leave your makeup on if you want young, wrinkle-free skin.
The skin needs to be cleansed and oxygenated twice a day. We use makeup that clogs and dirties the pores of our skin, which, together with pollution, changes the skin’s acid mantle, worsening its defenses. Proper cleaning with an oily product will remove all our makeup particles. We can restore the skin’s pH with a toner at the end of the daily cleansing.
Discover what facial HIFU can do for you
After the age of 35, the quality of our skin worsens. The fibroblasts, which are the cells responsible for creating collagen, are no longer active, and unless we activate them, they no longer create collagen. Collagen deteriorates and degrades over the years, giving rise to sagging and wrinkles that are increasingly greater in number and depth. HIFU (high-intensity ultrasound) is the most cutting-edge technology to reactivate the regenerative function, creating collagen from the deep dermis, which other technologies are not able to reach.
It is not an easy task to maintain youthful skin without wrinkles or imperfections. That is why sometimes we need help from aesthetic experts to improve the health of our face.
