If you want Soft skin as you age? Stay out of the sun
As women age, more attention should be paid to skin care to keep the skin from drying out and losing its shine.
Lysozyme does not really work as well as they can accumulate the toxins in the cells as they age. Cells do not heal as fast and faster distribution, Dr. Leslie Baumann, launched cosmetics dermatology division at the University of Miami and the running Baumann Cosmetic and Research Institute.
Although people tend to wrinkles associated with aging, skin discoloration is the most important issue Baumann, a columnist for the Miami Herald. Other topics include dry skin, brown spots, thin skin, broken blood vessels, roughness and lack of brightness.
As women mature, they go through menopause and decreasing estrogen clearly affects your skin. Usually we see dry skin and skin loses its elasticity. They can be helped with proper skin care issues, Dr. Shasa Hu said UHealth a dermatologist at the University of Miami Health System.
Despite these hormonal changes, dermatologists agree that the signs of skin aging and skin cancer that can be prevented with proper skin care and a healthy lifestyle.
USE SUNSCREEN
Throughout the year, especially in South Florida, it is important to use sunscreen every day. Such as office or walk the walk minimize exposure to the sun between buildings from the parking lot, can damage the mature skin. Baumann every morning and half at least SPF 15 sunscreen suggests applying a teaspoon.
Overall, we are getting more sun exposure and skin cancer rates primarily because, as we grow older is increasing. Also, as we age, our skin's immune system is down so we are not able to fight off the mutations as well.
Hu also women, top recommendation is to stay away from the sun during the hours of 10 am to 4 pm During this time, ultraviolet light is strongest emitted by the sun and can cause more damage.
Sunscreen is key. It need not be water-resistant version, tackier sunscreen. This is a very elegant product type moisturizer Dr. Ileana Pérez Quintairos, Bautista said a dermatologist with the quality of the health network could be something that feels like more.
After putting on sunscreen, women must reapply the product every two hours, as they are exposed to sunlight for a long period of time, especially if the pool or on the beach.
ANTIOXIDANTS AND RETINOIDS
Antioxidants not only stimulate the body's immune system, but also can stimulate the skin's immune system. The antioxidants, suggests Baumann should be applied twice daily.
The most popular and easily available while the lighter skin antioxidant vitamin C. Vitamin C application prevent and repair damage. Baumann is a retinoid product before sleep, reveals that using a cream.
The skin helps to increase collagen and elastin content with the use of retinoid products and in prevention.
Collagen and elastin are proteins that give skin its shape and rigidity. Effects of aging such as wrinkles and sagging, in some, the body can be attributed to lower production of these proteins.
I also like ginger, green tea, rich in antioxidants for food and drink dark chocolate and coffee accessories can be improved by eating inside. Sugar consumption can make skin aging should be minimized to prevent glycation.
AVOIDING BUZZWORDS
Products do not look for when buying skin care product that is specified as skin types and skin problems and avoid overspending products.
A lot of time, I will just go to the store and label their patients with some of the buzzwords of '' natural ',' organic '. They do not choose the right product for your skin. Including over the counter skin care products, many natural oils and natural oils mature unfortunately can be very irritating to the skin when the skin is dry and sensitive.
In search of products, it is also important to note the differences between cosmetics, cosmeceuticals and prescription products.
I can not be more than scientific evidence as to its efficacy that type of product without a prescription. cosmeceuticals product we are selling and suspended by physicians and products that are more evidence that something is true, they say. Prescription agents actually most of the evidence of his work.
Baumann warned against buying products with stem cells.
They are expensive and do not work. They are not human stem cells because plant stem cells, stem cells and Apple do not do things like that. It is a waste of money.
EXERCISE AND SLEEP
Not only the body, but soon, and satisfying way to exercise and get enough sleep. As mature cells, the cell's power plant mitochondria do not work as well, which is hard for the body to repair itself.
New studies show that weight lifting exercise is weightlifting, cardio, but there may be reason to improve mitochondrial function and to work in small cells, said Baumann. It also reduces sugar levels reduces stress and decreases cortisol also helps prevent aging.
A stress hormone that can stimulate cortisol age. Stress, avoid low levels of cortisol and a way to maintain low blood sugar, said Baumann, at least seven hours of sleep each night to get.
