Habits and nutrition directly affect skin condition. And this becomes especially noticeable with age. The author of the blog “Katie | Nutritionist & Anti-aging expert” (12+) on the Zen platform (12+) shared principles that will help maintain youth: at 30, at 40, and at 50 years old.
What prevents your skin from staying young?
Anything can have an impact. Lack of nutrients and sufficient water, poor sun protection, stress, lack of sleep or simply improper care. For example, hot water and too much rubbing with a scrub or towel will dry out and thin the skin. This means that wrinkles will appear earlier.
Rituals for skin elasticity
Take a small “beauty routine” as a rule: after washing, wipe your face with an ice cube, apply an “anti-aging” serum and do a lymphatic drainage facial massage. Literally 5 minutes of massaging will relieve swelling, but it is important to do this regularly and along massage lines. Don't forget about nourishing masks and night creams.
Products for skin beauty
For radiance and elasticity, you need healthy foods: oily fish saturates the skin with Omega-3, berries protect cells, nuts and seeds provide vitamin E, green vegetables improve blood circulation, and avocado nourishes the skin with healthy fats. The skin also loves collagen – there is a lot of it in broths and fish.
Foods to Avoid
Remember: sweets and fast food destroy collagen, soda causes inflammation, alcohol dehydrates, and excess salt leads to swelling.
