The secret to caring for your aging skin

 

Over time, our skin changes. It becomes thinner, drier, and sometimes marked by fine lines or age spots. However, aging doesn't mean giving up on beauty or radiance. Often, a few simple, well-chosen steps are all it takes to help keep skin supple, luminous, and full of vitality.

Cleanse, moisturize, protect: the foundation of an effective anti-aging routine

Aging skin needs gentleness… but also consistency. Like a beautiful plant, it needs daily care. Morning and evening cleansing helps remove impurities, excess oil, and pollution residue that accelerate skin aging. Choose a gentle, alcohol-free cleanser and then use a toner to firm and soothe.

The next step, hydration, is essential. As the years go by, skin loses water and lipids. A good moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or   plant oils like jojoba, argan, or rosehip   will be your best ally.

An anti-aging cream: yes, but choose it wisely!

There's no need   to accumulate bath treatments   : their effectiveness depends primarily on consistency. A well-formulated anti-aging cream contains specific active ingredients such as retinol (vitamin A), vitamin C, or peptides. These ingredients stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce wrinkles.

Apply to cleansed skin, morning and night, using a light circular massage with your fingertips. This promotes the penetration of the active ingredients and reactivates blood circulation, a bit like   "gently waking up the skin"  .

Often forgotten areas: eye contour, lips and neck

These areas are the most fragile and often betray our age before the rest of the face. The eye contour area requires a specific, light, fragrance-free cream, applied from the inner corner outwards.

As for the neck and décolleté, they deserve just as much attention as the face. Apply your day and night cream to the base of the neck, without rubbing, always massaging from the bottom up   to support the tissues rather than irritate them.

Sun: your best friend… or your worst enemy

One of the main culprits of premature birth is well known: the ground. UV rays alter the structure of the skin, causing darkening and promoting the appearance of pigmented sleeves. Both in the city and on the beach, use  a solar protector with a protection factor (SPF)   of up to 30  , including in winter.

For uniform skin, avoid prolonged exposure between   12 p.m. and 4 p.m.  and wear a   dark sombrero   when outside.

Pon algo de juventud en tu plato

The secret of radiant skin is not alone in the frascos of cream. This is also reflected in the plate. The antioxidants, present in red fruits, zanahorias, espinacas, aguacates and green tea, combat the free radicals responsible for cellular envejecimiento.

Consider also omega-3 (  linen aceite, blue fish,  chía seeds  ), which are excellent for skin elasticity, and zinc, which aids regeneration. A   natural yogurt
