How can you care for your skin to limit the appearance of signs of aging?
Skin aging is a natural process characterized by loss of elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles and spots. It is caused by the aging of skin cells, which function in slow motion and have the capacity to negatively influence neighboring cells. This process is accelerated by numerous environmental and lifestyle factors. Simple solutions can slow down this phenomenon and limit the appearance of signs of skin aging.
Simple everyday gestures
Boost the youthfulness of skin cells
Why?
Aging cells renew themselves less rapidly and the skin loses its firmness. Daily action at the heart of skin cells helps prevent the appearance of signs of aging.
How?
Apply a daily treatment rich in active ingredients that targets the root causes of skin aging by stimulating cell regeneration.
Moisturize the skin
Why?
Moisturized skin is more resistant to external aggressors that accelerate skin aging.
How?
Apply a moisturizing anti-aging cream or serum morning and night to clean, dry skin.
Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun
Why?
UV rays and blue light emitted by the sun can alter skin cells and accelerate aging. This is known as photoaging, and it adds to the natural aging process. It is therefore essential to protect the skin from the sun as soon as it is exposed.
How?
- Seek shade, especially between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
- Wear protective clothing and a hat.
- In case of exposure, apply a sun cream with a high photoprotection factor (SPF30 or SPF50+) to exposed areas, even on cloudy days.
Adopt a healthy lifestyle
Yes to sleep, no to tobacco
Why?
- During sleep, skin cells repair and regenerate themselves, leaving skin looking its best in the morning. Lack of sleep can disrupt this process, accelerating the aging of cells and skin.
- Tobacco, a cocktail of toxic substances, degrades the molecules responsible for skin tone, such as collagen. Wrinkles appear more quickly.
How?
- It's important to sleep at least 7 to 8 hours a night, and to avoid stimulants and screens before bedtime.
- Stop smoking: stop smoking, with the help of the various solutions available to make this stage less difficult. Seek advice from health professionals.
