“Did you see that woman’s skin?” And immediately asked my friend continued: “It seems that was 10 years older than me, when in fact it has 10 less.” “Obviously, I said, you rarely drink when you take a holiday and you’ll run away to the sun or even if he looks.”

Age is not, then the only factor that contributes to aging skin. Actually there are external factors which determine further changes in its characteristics.

Having a sedentary lifestyle or with many concerns, eating a not particularly healthy, smoking and excessive drinking and excessive sun exposure, among others, make the largest organ of our body becomes weak, loses its moisture natural and wrinkle. If you want beautiful skin, you must leave the following habits:

1. Do not smoke. If you smoke or know someone who smokes, look at the skin of the cheeks, especially the area closest to the nose, and you will notice that the pores are open, a sign that the skin begins to deteriorate. Even the tips of the fingers and around the mouth will turn a grayish color that matches the rest of the skin. The nicotine in cigarettes causes blood vessels to constrict in the surface layers of the skin. This causes blood to get hard, which means your skin receives less oxygen and other nutrients necessary for beautiful skin (such as vitamin A for example). In addition, chemicals in the snuff, which are more than 4,000, damage the collagen and elastin.

2. Do not drink alcohol. Have you heard that drinking lots of water is essential to keep skin hydrated and beautiful? It’s true. The water makes your skin look young and beautiful. But if you like is drinking alcohol, you will be producing the opposite effect: Alcohol causes dehydration which deprives the skin of vital nutrients that make it look dull. Alcohol also causes blood vessels to dilate, and if you drink too often can develop red spots or superficial vascular dilations (known as spider veins or “spider veins”) that are not attractive. By the way, if you have rosacea or psoriasis, alcohol aggravates these conditions.

3. Do not scrub your face to remove acne. True, acne is a nuisance and it is pleasing to the eye. It is a very common problem and many people in their quest to remove it, rub your face hard thinking that way it will be deleted. Not so. If you rub your face very hard, what you do is cause more irritation. For acne, use the medications prescribed for acne either counter or, if you do not work, recommended by a dermatologist.

4. Do not abuse hot baths. If you have dry skin and possibly even develop dermatitis (severe inflammation of the skin), avoid hot baths or showers give you lasting long. Customer water removes natural oils from the skin faster than lukewarm or cold water causing dryness.

5. Do not forget to moisturize your whole skin. Do it in the morning, after bathing the skin to retain moisture and stay hydrated. At night you can give a touch of moisturizer to keep skin soft. This applies both to the face (for the day cream with sunscreen and other for the night) and for the entire body. This skin will look vibrant.

Finally, do exercise, eat a healthy diet (including plenty of fruits and vegetables) and avoid excessive sun exposure because they are also keys to beautiful skin.

Vitamin C is water soluble and has a limited ability to penetrate the skin. It is also recommended that this vitamin is obtained in a formulation that contains a system for transfer to the skin as liposomes.

Panthenol
Belongs to the group of vitamin B. In the skin is converted to acid Pantene, which is part of every cell and is essential for cell metabolism. It helps the body use other vitamins and improves the body’s resistance to stress. Creams containing Panthenol provide calm and help heal skin for damage. Panthenol helps speed keratizacion the dermis and increases the level of moisture in the skin leaving skin feeling soft and supple. This is very important when resurfaces skin after exfoliating or laser treatments. It also improves cell regeneration and anti-inflammatory properties. Creams for hands and nails with panthenol to help strengthen them and feed them.
