The skin is the largest organ in the body. It protects us from external factors such as bacteria, ultraviolet rays and pollution. Making it look good isn't the only challenge. Taking proper care of it, through a healthy life and with suitable products is key.
In that sense, the following trivia will let you know what a proper care routine looks like. After getting an answer, it will not hurt to receive some expert advice to improve prevention or, failing that, begin to reverse the damage caused.
Before starting with the recommendations, it should be emphasized that skin is essential for the general health of every human being, regardless of age or gender.
The skin is made up of several layers such as the hypodermis, dermis and epidermis. The latter is known as “the skin barrier” because it is the only one that is external, visible and also the thickest. In fact, in some areas of the body it can be between 0.44 mm and up to 1.4 mm.
The epidermis is the first defense against external factors such as UVA and UVB rays, weather, pollution, chemicals or cleaning products, and even diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. Based on this and the need to keep it healthy, there are products on the market that have been designed to protect it.
Experts from Lubriderm, a brand with more than 30 years of experience in skincare, although they suggest that care starts from the inside out, drinking enough water, leaving aside habits such as smoking and eating balanced, they also indicate that caring for the skin from the outside in is key when it comes to starting to see radiant and fresh skin.
They also point out that when this organ is healthy, it controls water loss, prevents dryness and skin breakdown, and protects the body from external factors. But when the skin is dry and there is little care, there is no protection from the sun and the use of products that can protect it is omitted, it progressively loses moisture and as a result dryness, fine lines, itching and even some diseases or infections can manifest.
In that sense, the most important thing for drier skins is to repair them intensively with a cream that restores them deeply or with moisturizing creams that have sun protection factors greater than or equal to SPF30, that is, that they have photoprotectors that allow to increase the capacity of natural defense against UVB rays.
Likewise, carry out a proper make-up removal routine, in which the right products are used according to the type of skin, together with the application of products that supply the “food” it requires — such as vitamin B5, which contributes to both hydration and regeneration — and that at the same time provide the ideal moisture to achieve soften it, they will not only make it possible to achieve a smooth but at the same time radiant skin.
