Some daily care is important to ensure the beauty and health of the skin
Despite being a natural process of the human body, many people are surprised to notice lines or expression marks on the skin, especially when you are young. The fact is that premature skin aging can occur due to many factors, including sun exposure, pollution, improper diet, smoking and stress.
Dermatologist and dermatologist, Dr. Kelly Pico, explains that, as the skin as it ages, it loses the ability to produce cells, becoming thinner and less elastic. In addition, the ability to absorb moisture also decreases, resulting in dry and dull skin.
Importance of care in youth
Many people believe that only older people need to worry about aging skin, but this is not true. Young people who are exposed to the sun frequently, smoke or have an inadequate diet can suffer from premature aging. It’s important to remember that skin care should start early to prevent premature aging and keep your skin healthy and beautiful.
The use of moisturizing creams is an important measure to keep the skin hydrated and prevent premature aging. “However, in aging skin, moisturizing creams are not absorbed enough, leaving the skin soft only temporarily and soon after, it becomes dry again. To avoid this problem, it is important to choose a moisturizing cream suitable for the type of skin and apply it regularly”, highlights Dr. Kelly Pico.
Preventing premature aging
Next, check out some tips for keeping your skin healthy, thus avoiding premature aging.
1. Healthy eating
Consuming a diet rich in vitamins and nutrients can help maintain healthy skin and prevent premature aging. Foods like fruits, vegetables, fish and nuts are great options to include in your diet.
2. Hydration
Drinking plenty of water is essential to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. The recommended daily intake is around 2 liters of water per day.
3. Use of natural oils
Natural oils such as coconut, jojoba, and rosehip oil can be used as natural skin moisturizers. These oils are rich in nutrients and help keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
4. Sun protection
The use of sunscreen daily is essential to prevent premature aging of the skin. Sunscreen should be applied daily, even on cloudy days or indoors.
5. Practice of physical exercises
Regular physical exercise can help improve blood circulation and promote collagen production in the skin, which helps prevent premature aging.
6. Stress reduction
Stress can affect the skin in many ways, contributing to premature aging. Practices such as meditation, yoga and massage can help reduce stress and improve skin health.
7. Avoid excessive smoking and alcoholic beverages
Both cigarettes and alcohol can accelerate the skin aging process. Smoking impairs blood circulation and decreases collagen production, while alcohol can dehydrate the skin and spoil your appearance.
8. Keep the skin always clean
Hygiene is essential to maintain skin health. Washing your face regularly with a mild soap suitable for your skin type can help remove impurities and prevent sebum build-up.
9. Never sleep with makeup on
Sleeping with makeup on can clog pores, cause acne, and contribute to premature skin aging. It’s important to remove makeup before bed and clean your face well to ensure healthy skin.
10. Cosmetic treatments
There are several aesthetic treatments that can help prevent and treat premature aging of the skin. Some options include peelings, microneedling, laser and treatments with collagen biostimulators and micro and macrofocused ultrasound. It is important to consult a qualified specialist to choose the most suitable treatment for your skin.
Make an appointment with a dermatologist
It’s worth remembering that everyone has a different skin type and the tips above may not be suitable for everyone. Therefore, it is always recommended to consult a dermatology specialist for personalized guidance on skin care.
“Taking care of the skin is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also of health. Well cared for skin is more resistant to infections and inflammations, as well as providing a younger and healthier appearance. Therefore, it is important to pay due attention to the skin from an early age, to avoid problems in the future and always remain healthy and beautiful”, concludes Dr. Kelly Pico.
