Reduce Premature Skin Aging by Esse&Co

LONDON - July 28, 2021 - PRLog -- Before taking care of our skin it is really important to understand skin aging and it's causes. The structure of the skin if changing as we age and fine lines and wrinkles develop.  As we get older the substances that are responsible for keeping our skin firm decrease. Those substances include collagen, elastin and Hyaluronic Acid. Those important ingredients are required to provide tensile strength, elasticity, and hydration to the skin.

A holistic approach to our daily lifestyle and skincare routine can help to prevent premature skin aging and reduce the visible signs of skin aging.

Lifestyle and skin aging

As oxidative stress is the primary external cause of skin aging, lifestyle changes should focus on minimizing its effects. There is extensiveevidence indicating that oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species plays an important role in the process of human skin ageing. The oxidative damage from these exogenous sources can impair skin structure and function, leading to the phenotypic features of extrinsic skin ageing

Diet

If you want healthy skin, the old adage 'you are what you eat' has never been truer. A healthy diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, will ensure an intake of antioxidants that can help to limit the damaging effects of free radicals on the skin. As much variety as possible should be included, but some foods are known to be particularly high in antioxidants and might even have a skin-protecting effect:  apricots, carrots, other orange and yellow fruit and vegetables, blueberries, leafy green vegetables, bell peppers, beans, tomatoes and other pulses, oily fish (such as salmon) and nuts.

Smoking

Smoking accelerates aging remarkably, reducing elasticity and causing dullness. Nicotine, other chemicals in cigarettes, smoking behaviors and other factors may contribute to wrinkles and premature aging of the skin: Nicotine causes blood vessels to narrow, reducing oxygen flow and nutrients to skin cells.

Skin care

Everyone has a favourite face cream or treatment, but beautiful skin starts with nourishment from within. Older cells are constantly shed and replaced by younger ones and a steady supply of key nutrients is essential to support this rapid growth. A good skincare routine is an essential part of a holistic approach to treating all signs of aging: wrinkles, fine lines, loss of elasticity and related conditions such as age-induced dryness or sensitive aging skin.

If your skin is in good condition,  good daily skin care will ensure it stays in condition. If not, a consistent routine can help to improve it. A basic skincare routine should consist of basic steps. (https://esseandco.com/the-correct-order-to-apply-skincare...)
