After the winter I receive tons of questions from my patients about what to do -with the skin as it is a season that tends to cause a lot of damage in the skin as the accentuation of wrinkles, sagging and the formation of bags and more... so that when spring comes, it is important to catch up with the care of the skin, and help to heal again, this is why I want to give you 5 steps that will help you bring back that glow to your skin:
- Start increasing the exfoliation, which can help you to get rid of dry skin and dull while fade age spots.
- Change your moisturizer, as the weather warms up, we need a lotion more light in place of cream, heavy winter, use a to help reduce the inflammation and redness while providing just the right amount of moisture and promotes the production of collagen, which we all need to keep the skin firm.
- If it comes to hyperpigmentation, test with a cream aclaradora natural to help fade dark spots.
- You can also make a facial mask with ingredients such as papaya, honey, pumpkin, yogurt, citrus fruits, and potato juice.
- Finally, but most importantly, focus on the elasticity of the skin (collagen gives strength to the skin, but the elastin gives you the ability to recover).
What causes the skin to lose its elasticity?
Part of that loss, is that it does not produce as much elastin as we age. On the other hand, environmental toxins, pollutants, and UV rays are attacking your skin every day, damaging the elastin fibers and causing it to break down.
We can help to delay this kind of damage while protecting your skin with sunscreen, eating well, drinking lots of water and practicing good hygiene of the skin, but usually that is not enough, so if you want to strengthen the skin tissues and help you to increase the capacity of your skin, you can try the following:
- Test supplements: the antioxidant supplement can help.
- Use your tea: they are full of nutrients that are good for your skin, help protect against the breakdown of elastin and are powerful antioxidants, and protective.
- Use a bit of argan oil: the daily consumption or topical application of argan oil have an effect of anti-aging in the skin to restore its elasticity.
- Eat more yogurt and considered a homemade mask of yogurt: yogurt, especially Greek is rich in proteins, and proteins are important for the production of collagen and elastin.
- Get more exercise: exercise improves blood circulation and brings the necessary nutrients to the skin, helping to rebuild collagen and elastin.
