How can we remove the signs of aging and fatigue that show in our face?
While it is true that the effect of time directly affects our face in a progressive and generalised manner, we will see how we can treat our skin to defend ourselves from the passage of time.
As time has an effect on skin, it ages. But what really happens? The skin loses key elements that make it appear more firm, healthy and moisturised. What happens is that the skin’s regenerative function decreases, meaning it requires more trace elements for its correct nutrition, and it loses it’s essential barrier meaning it cannot retain the hydration that it needs.
We can see that tiredness causes characteristics of skin fatigue: such as under-eye circles, pale complexion and dull skin... This is due to the multiple aggressions, that facial skin is exposed to daily, that are not treated correctly. This is when the skin loses its vitality and luminosity, becomes dehydrated and the tiredness becomes visible. It's necessary to fight against these signs of aging.
What should I avoid?
In this case, a good defence is a good offence. Therefore, prevention is where the foundation of treatment clearly lies.
- A diet low in vitamins: Diets low in vegetables and water intake cause the extracellular matrix to have fewer regenerative elements.
- Personal and professional fatigue: Daily physical and mental stress causes a large amount of tissue inflammation that prevents the efficient and continuous regenerative function of the skin.
- Continuous exposure to temperature changes or environmental pollution: If our skin has to deal with aggressive climates every day and we don’t protect it, it can easily lose its barrier function.
These daily aggressions that appear mild but are continuous, alter the horny layer and dehydrate the epidermis, weakening it and depleting its physiological reserves, therefore contributing to both effects: fatigue and aging.
What should I do?
The routine that we propose is simple and will give your skin the elements necessary to correctly stimulate and strengthen it before the effects of aging, by making it resistant, firm and giving it energy.
- Daily cleansing: Morning and night
Don’t worry, it’s simple. Having a good method to remove make-up is fundamental to avoid unnecessary abrasions that attack the skin's structure.
- Facial serum
You should use products that rapidly and effectively give vitality to the face. Use soft emollients, with a gel texture, that give deep hydration to the skin.
- Hydration
A hydrating cream helps to prevent the appearance of expression lines and the feared wrinkles. It will improve cellular regeneration. And above all, don’t forget the eyes and to use a product appropriate for them.
- Exfoliating
Exfoliating at least once or twice a week will remove the dead cells on the corneal layer and won’t allow the cell turnover from the inside out.
- Diet: Complex vitamins
Have a healthy diet and keep hydrated, drink lots of water, get rid of bad habits and give your skin the glow it deserves.
Continuously consuming elements such as ginseng, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamins of the B5 complex, acts as a source of energy for the skin.
