How To Take Care Of Your Skin And Prevent Aging?

They say that looking good is feeling good. This premise can only be confirmed when men and women take the opportunity to dedicate time to taking care of their facial skin. When they begin to notice favorable results, their confidence even increases.

It could be seen as a matter of vanity, but the truth is that the skin reflects the symptoms of various systemic diseases such as diabetes or kidney problems. In addition, as the years go by, it begins to sag and lose elasticity. Then, wrinkles, spots on the face, and other common problems appear.

For this reason, it is important not to resort to treatments and the use of cosmetic products at fifty years of age when there is already a long process of aging. As in all situations, prevention is the best. “From the age of 25 or 30, when collagen production begins to stop, is the best age to begin a diagnosis,” explains Alejandro Parra, aesthetic doctor at the Aurus Clinic.

Marco Gutiérrez, founder of this clinic, goes further and says that from the age of 18 or 19, one should begin with basic care and preventive treatments. “Since we are well developed, we can improve without the need for surgery .”

However, one of the most common mistakes people make is not using sunscreen every day. The use of this product is of vital importance since, in addition to unhealthy lifestyle habits, the sun’s radiation is what causes the greatest damage to the skin.

“Parents should apply sunscreen to their children from the age of five,” Marco stresses.

The problem is that most people do not have the habit of using it when it is the anti-aging and preventive treatment par excellence.

According to Alejandro Parra, another mistake is not using products that are specific to your skin type or the needs of each patient. “If you don’t have the advice of a professional, you may use a very good quality product, but it won’t give any benefit to your skin type or, on the contrary, it will harm it.”

STEPS FOR BASIC SKINCARE

Therefore, getting people into the habit of using sunscreen is a great advantage. They can then focus on taking care of their skin with other types of products and cosmetic treatments.

For Marco Gutiérrez, once the photodamage has been reduced and the ‘canvas’ with which the work is to be carried out has been improved, it is possible to use creams that serve to hydrate the skin and improve its quality.

Despite being stigmatized, the use of botulinum toxin or Botox is an option that more and more young people are seeking as a way to prevent aging “and it is when it provides the best results.”

This is considered purely preventative, as it allows the facial muscles to relax so that expression lines do not turn into wrinkles.

Likewise, filler treatments can enhance certain features, for example: the cheekbones, the projection of the chin, or improvement of the nose without the need for surgery. “There is a technology that is not necessarily injected, but topical with radiofrequency. This helps us to generate a lifting effect on the face, ” say the specialists at the Aurus Clinic.

This is how you take care of your skin and prevent aging. As you get older, not only does collagen production stop, but the bone that supports the entire structure also wears out, muscles atrophy and the amount of fat in your face decreases. However, there are ways to prevent this.
