When my skin ages

It would be truer to say that when we age, our skin simply gets older too. It's normal, but this evolution will depend on several criteria, including our lifestyle and the way we take care (or not) of our skin.

We must therefore take into account, in addition to

the age of our skin the following factors:

  • UV exposure
  • Pollution
  • Poor diet
  • Tobacco and alcohol

The normal aging of our skin is based on different criteria:oxidative stress, cell proliferation, and hormonal activity, especially in women.

These three factors lead to different

consequences:

  • Thickness of thinning skin.
  • Tendency to dehydration or dryness:drier and rougher
  • Slower healing issues
  • Vasculature issues:paler skin, capillary fragility, and poorer temperature regulation.

This skin aging begins from the age of 25.

In the case of the natural production of collagen for example, it would decrease by 1% per year from this age.

The first wrinkles will appear around the age of 30 and settle down little by little, especially expression wrinkles.

The installation of wrinkles is due to the loss of elasticity of the skin.

If the aging of our skin is inexorable, it is however possible to slow it down.

First of all by playing on the external factors by not exposing yourself (too much) to the sun.

You also need to have a good balance in life:balanced diet, no tobacco or alcohol. Also watch out for stress and lack of sleep.

Eat a diet rich in antioxidants, fruits and vegetables.

From a cosmetics point of view, having a good moisturizing routine is essential.

From the age of 25, include vitamin C in your creams:it will protect it from external aggressions.

Favor essential fatty acids:omega 3 and 6 for example with oil of argan, rosehip, evening primrose, prickly pear... and natural antioxidants.

Bet everything on vitamins E, C and A.

Which treatments to choose?

In the morning, apply Ylae Acacia Gum Replenishing Serum; rich in moisturizing and anti-aging active ingredients such as beech buds and apricot oil.

As an eye contour, use for example the Kadalys anti-wrinkle and dark circles care with anti-oxidant pink banana.

Then put on a day cream like Exeko Vitality and Glow Cream rich in essential fatty acids and aloe vera.

In the evening, apply Oxalya Organic Youth Elixir. It contains antioxidant, toning, tightening, repairing and moisturizing active ingredients!

Then apply a moisturizer like Lerida cream from Abellie.

At least once a week make a Bio Glam Chic moisturizing face mask, which helps your skin fight against daily aggressions and fights the signs of aging. It contains in particular hyaluronic acid and apple extract to fight against dehydration and the signs of aging.

If with that you don't lose 10 years!

On a more serious note, it's completely normal for your skin to show your age and your lifestyle. Cosmetics can't work miracles, and think about having a healthy life too!
