Your skin won’t stay young forever, but you can delay the appearance of wrinkles and sagging. competence
Skin aging is a natural and inevitable process. However, it can be prevented from arriving as expected. First of all, it is important to know that each region of the skin goes through an aging phase and, therefore, experts say that each of them needs different care to prevent the common damages of aging.
Many factors can accelerate this aging, such as sun exposure without sunscreen, stress and lifestyle characteristics. Likewise, other factors can delay this process and make it healthier, such as a skin and body care routine.
With this in mind, Renata Taylor, physiotherapist and commercial consultant of HTM Eletrônica, a reference industry in the development and manufacture of electromedical and aesthetic equipment, recommends some precautions to prevent premature skin aging:
1 – Use sunscreen every day
Regardless of the time of year, using sunscreen is essential. “Ultraviolet radiation acts in all seasons and causes damage that compromises the skin’s support structure, causing the early appearance of wrinkles and sagging, as well as blemishes,” explains Renata.
The guideline is to reapply the protector every four hours indoors and every two hours when we are directly exposed to the sun, except in moments of vitamin D synthesis, an essential nutrient for health and beauty.
2 – Always moisturize the skin of the décolleté and neck
The characteristics of the neck and décolleté are different from other areas of the body. The skin in this region is thinner, has fewer sebaceous glands and suffers more from dryness, points out the professional.
Additionally, sagging is also greater, as the amount of collagen fibers is low in these areas. Therefore, always moisturize this region to minimize the visible effects of aging.
3 – Know your skin type
You cannot invest in the right skin care products without first knowing your skin type. This is the only way to identify which cosmetic is ideal for your skin type. With the right treatment, it is possible to improve the results. “When the choice of product is wrong, the active ingredients will work in the opposite way to what the skin needs, favoring inadequate responses”, warns the specialist.
4 – Bet on beauty treatments
Renata points out that beauty treatments added to daily care at home enhance skin rejuvenation effectively and safely. Intense pulsed light equipment, for example, offers specific treatments for rejuvenation.
“This technology promotes collagen synthesis and acts on the depigmentation of spots, especially those of age. It also treats those varicose veins that usually appear near the nose and on the cheek,” emphasizes the physiotherapist.
