Reduce wrinkles in the skin, but how?

Posted on wellness

The good news is that we can influence the health of our skin — it depends in large part on ourselves, namely our way of life, and not on our genetic predisposition!

The causes of wrinkles in our skin are:

• smoking
• Too much sun or artificial UV rays
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Poor nutrition
• Too little sleep
• stress

Nutrition tips

1.Important nutrients for the skin

• vitamin C: also known as antioxidant. Although present in some creams, the vitamin is far more effective at reducing wrinkles when absorbed in the form of fruits and vegetables.

• vitamin A: vital for skin and eyes. Found in citrus fruits, carrots, tomatoes, bishop's hat (a type of pumpkin) and other pumpkins (women who want to become pregnant or are pregnant should not take vitamin A supplements).

• zinc: important antioxidant for skin. May also help reduce acne-causing inflammation. Zinc is found in milk, cheese, meat, eggs and fish, whole grains and legumes.

• selenium: another important antioxidant that protects skin cells from damage. Present in grains, meat, fish, offal, cheese and eggs.

• vitamin B: The vitamin B complex has been shown to improve the skin's ability to retain moisture. A lack of vitamin B6 (found in meat, whole grains, vegetables, and nuts) can lead to acne.

2. Moisturize

The purpose of daily skin care products is to skin to keep as healthy as possible. We achieve optimal results through effective cleansing, clarifying, exfoliating, nourishing masks and moisturizing cream. Ask your beautician for suitable products for your skin type.

3. Drink

Extremely important for flushing toxins out of the body. Try to drink 35 ml per kilo of body weight daily, and your skin will shine anew. During sporting activities and in summer, you of course need even more liquid, preferably in the form of pure water.

4.Chocolate

Is not directly for blemishes responsible; however, sugary foods increase insulin levels, which then leads to the production of androgen, a substance associated with the development of acne. Nutrition following the glycemic diet may be useful.

It doesn't have to be time-consuming and expensive to rely on its skin to respect. Every day is about making the right choice and paying attention to little things. Do you have any questions? Then contact our Dietary advice or make an appointment for a free consultation.
