Skin Care


Mary Serralta Vogue Spain (online edition) published the keys to a perfect complexion in the coming year. Although there is nothing new, I consider it useful to read and reflect on the care we have for our ever-radiant-looking skin.

Then the keys proposed by Serralta:

Hydrate the skin

Applying a moisturizer at least twice a day and drinking six to eight glasses of water per day There are two rules to follow because the skin is hydrated from the outside and from within. When the skin is hydrated keeps its elasticity, radiance and appearance.

Clean the skin

The skin should be cleaned morning and night to remove makeup, pollution, smoke, dust and other external agents that stain the skin. Of course, the products and steps to clean the skin depend on each skin, so it is recommended to consult with specialists.

Sun protection

You must use sunscreen during the day or products that include this protection, but we must do all year, not only in the warmer months, the ultraviolet rays are always present. Protecting us from the sun avoid premature aging of skin and possible malignant lesions and pigmentation problems.

Rest

Good sleep is essential for a flawless complexion while you sleep because cells regenerate. If we sleep poorly or less than the recommended 7-8 hours, the skin will dull and dark circles will be more visible.

Exfoliate

Depending on the sensitivity of the skin, the frequency at which exfoliates the skin will vary but the truth is that we can not exfoliate. Exfoliation allows the removal of dead cells and prevents impurities to keep the pores clean.

Avoid the formation of free radicals

Free radicals are responsible for the oxidation, aging and deterioration of the skin and organs in general. Eat healthy foods, drinking alcohol, smoking, rest properly, all these factors contribute to the formation of free radicals.

Taking antioxidant vitamins

These vitamins, always recommended by experts, help to neutralize the negative effects of free radicals in the skin.

Exercise

More important than doing the exercise is to do with a certain frequency or regularity. Physical activity is recommended at least three times a week. Walking also improves our health and appearance by adding it to what you can do the exercises regularly, for example going up the stairs and the elevator, or by collective bajándote, subway or taxi and walking a few blocks extra.

Meditate

It is important to restore the balance between body and mind to relax more and not losing to stress that both hurts our skin. Have a positive attitude is as important as eating right, exercise and skin care.

Eating healthy

The diet should be consistent and do include fruits, vegetables, fish, lean protein and essential fatty acids (such as omega 3) with anti-inflammatory benefits and draining.

Hope you find this helpful note of Vogue Spain and we can try to incorporate all these clues to optimize our image.
