The skin is our external protection against all external aggressions. It then reflects our state of health, our well-being, and also our youth. While there are currently a lot of products on the market to fight wrinkles and act as anti-aging products, some natural tips can also help pamper the skin and preserve its youthfulness.
Poor circulation, menopause, and so many factors promote aging of the skin. Natural tips can limit the effects of free radicals on the skin. Mask, diet, facial gymnastics. Let’s try to stay “natural.”
An Anti-Wrinkle Diet
Food is a very good ally to fight against the signs of aging. Certain foods are particularly recommended such as fruits, foods rich in vitamin E and A, and antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that fight against the action of free radicals, toxic products synthesized in cells during chemical reactions. Free radicals are harmful to the body and are mainly responsible for the aging of the skin and many diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Vitamin C
and vitamin A are involved in the synthesis of collagen and improve blood circulation in the skin. Fruits are the foods richest in antioxidants and vitamins. Opt for citrus fruits, red fruits (strawberries, raspberries, currants, and cherries), grapes, avocado, apple, and kiwi.
Anti-Wrinkle Masks
The skin is a very delicate organ and it is important to choose the right products to apply to it. Natural products are the safest. Use wooden or glass utensils to prepare your recipes and avoid putting them on the eye contours. Gently apply the masks on the face and neck before cleaning the skin. It must be well removed.
The Facial Gym
