Skin aging is a natural process that reflects both the precious passage of time and the influence of external and internal factors to which we are exposed. And although it is inevitable, there are some products and strategies that can help us slow down its effects, rejuvenate the skin, and make it look more radiant and healthy.
At Toskani, experts in skin care, we bring you a complete guide on how to effectively rejuvenate the skin on your face.
Why does skin age?
Skin aging is caused by a number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Internally, with age, skin cells decrease their ability to regenerate and produce collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for skin firmness and elasticity.
Externally, pollution, smoking, stress, and poor diet accelerate this process, altering microcirculation and weakening the skin’s antioxidant defenses, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles, spots, and loss of luminosity. In addition, ultraviolet radiation damages the DNA of skin cells, generating free radicals that degrade collagen and accelerate photoaging.
Skin care
Adopting healthy habits in your daily life and avoiding the external factors mentioned above as much as possible are essential for caring for and rejuvenating your skin.
Hydration
Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial for its elasticity and appearance. To do this, drink enough water and use moisturizers that are suitable for your skin type to help prevent dryness and the formation of wrinkles.
Rest
Restful sleep allows for cell regeneration and collagen production. Therefore, sleeping between 7 and 9 hours a day is the most pleasant way to rejuvenate your skin and feel good.
Exercise
Regular physical activity also improves blood circulation, which promotes oxygenation and nutrition of the skin. In addition, it helps eliminate toxins and reduce stress, factors that negatively impact skin health.
Daily routine
Following a facial care routine is essential for maintaining healthy, glowing skin. It includes cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sun protection to rejuvenate the skin every day. In this regard, it is important to use products that are suitable for your skin type and specific needs. Remember that consistency in this routine makes a difference in the appearance and health of your skin.
Techniques for rejuvenating the skin
In addition to daily care, there are professional aesthetic medicine treatments that offer significant results in improving the appearance of the skin.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels involve the application of acid solutions (with glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or trichloroacetic acid) that exfoliate the surface layers of the skin and stimulate cell regeneration.
Depending on their depth (light, medium, or deep), peels can reduce fine wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars, and improve skin luminosity and uniformity.
It is important for the professional to examine the patient’s skin in order to choose the chemical peel that best suits their needs. This prevents possible adverse side effects and achieves visible results from the first session.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the skin that retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water and provides volume. The problem is that with age, its concentration decreases, contributing to the appearance of wrinkles and sagging.
Hyaluronic acid injections into wrinkles and furrows in the skin restore moisture and firmness, smoothing expression lines and improving facial contours. In addition, this substance’s ability to naturally attract water promotes deep skin hydration, offering an instant effect of luminosity and smoothness to the face.
This treatment must be performed by specialized aesthetic medicine professionals to ensure optimal results and a natural outcome without complications. At Toskani, leaders in skin care treatments, we offer advanced and personalized solutions that stimulate cell renewal, strengthen collagen, and provide the necessary hydration to rejuvenate the skin and make it look plump and radiant. By adopting these care and techniques, you can keep your skin healthy and luminous for longer. Take it from an expert!
