Discover the natural remedies to take care of your skin. All you need to do is do the right shopping to have healthier and cleaner skin.
Women generally attach a lot of importance to their skin, thus investing time, money and care to keep it healthy and in good condition. There are several practices for taking care of the skin, such as using moisturizers, exfoliants, sunscreen, and anti-aging products. But do these have a well-founded validity? And, above all, do they ‘hide’ risks?
Some of these products may contain active ingredients such as retinoids, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, vitamin C and peptides, which can have positive effects on the skin. However, it must be taken into account that some anti-aging products can cause adverse effects on the skin if not used correctly or if they contain aggressive ingredients. For example, retinoids can cause dryness, redness and peeling of the skin, while glycolic acid can cause irritation and sensitivity. If we add to these valid reasons that some of these products are very expensive, not always effective and could even damage the skin’s protective barrier, we understand why having a correct diet, aimed at anti-aging, could be a valid answer.
