Often forgotten areas: eye contour, lips and neck
These areas are the most fragile and often betray our age before the rest of the face. The eye contour area requires a specific, light, fragrance-free cream, applied from the inner corner outwards.
As for the neck and décolleté, they deserve just as much attention as the face. Apply your day and night cream to the base of the neck, without rubbing, always massaging from the bottom up to support the tissues rather than irritate them.
Sun: your best friend… or your worst enemy
One of the main culprits of premature aging is well known: the sun. Its UV rays alter the skin’s structure, cause wrinkles, and promote the appearance of age spots. Whether in the city or at the beach, use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 , even in winter.
And for even skin, avoid prolonged exposure between 12 pm and 4 pm and wear a wide-brimmed hat when going outside.
Put some youth on your plate
The secret to radiant skin isn’t just in jars of cream. It’s also reflected in what you eat. Antioxidants, found in berries, carrots, spinach, avocados, and green tea, combat the free radicals responsible for cellular aging.
Also consider omega-3 fatty acids ( flaxseed oil, oily fish, chia seeds ), which are excellent for skin elasticity, and zinc, which aids in regeneration. A natural yogurt is also beneficial.
