Say goodbye to dark circles with this routine recommended by an expert

by

Taking a look at all the questions I have received in the office during these weeks, I have been struck by how much the topic of baggy eyes. There are many factors that influence and that are not in your control, such as genetic predisposition, which plays a very important role, but you should know that there are other factors that yes they depend on you if you want to say goodbye to dark circles. “Some people have dark circles under their eyes simply because they have inherited thinner skin under the eyes or more pigment in that area,” Gema Cabañero, founder and director of the Gema Cabañero Advanced Aesthetics and Antiaging Clinic, tells me. But lifestyle is also an essential factor in understanding why some people have dark circles and others don’t. © livmanni “Factors such as smoking, ingesting excessive amounts of alcohol and having a diet high in salt and deficient, in which essential nutrients are missingcan worsen the health of the skin and make dark circles more visible. Another cause that causes some people to be more predisposed to having dark circles than others is rest. “People who do not have correct sleep hygiene are much more likely to trigger an inflammatory response in the body that can cause different skin conditions that go beyond dark circles. In addition, sleep promotes the balance of hydration in the skin and repairing the skin barrier,” adds Cabañero, who is also director of R&D&I at the nutricosmetic firm 180 The Concept. If what you want is to prevent its appearance, the expert recommends that, in addition to avoiding alcohol and tobacco, be careful, especially with the sun. “We should not expose our face for prolonged periods of time without proper protection.. “This will cause excessive production of melanin which can lead to hyperpigmentation in this area.” © valentinaferragni To know the causes of dark circles and how to treat them, the expert differentiates four types that can be classified into: Dark circles due to genetics: They are hereditary and appear from an early age. They usually have a brownish tone and tend to be difficult to treat, however, they can improve their appearance with the correct aesthetic treatments. Dark circles due to lack of sleep: Lack of sleep causes a variation in blood circulation around the eyes, causing blood vessels to dilate and become visible under the skin, causing bluish dark circles. Don’t forget that sleeping well has a profound impact on your general well-being: during sleep the body enters a process of cellular repair and regeneration and this phase is essential so that aging is not accelerated. In addition, sleep also plays a crucial role in hormonal balance, closely related to skin health. Therefore, sleeping well is one of the simplest and most effective ways to take care of your beauty from the inside out. Dark circles due to aging: The loss of collagen and elastin can contribute to the skin in this area losing elasticity and firmness. As a result, the skin becomes thinner and thinner, contributing to the formation of dark circles under the eyes that often appear next to bags. Pigmented dark circles: This type of dark circles, characterized by being brown in color and contrasting with the rest of the skin tone, are motivated, above all, by excessive and prolonged sun exposure for years, which results in an overproduction of melanin by the body. © chloelecareux Taking advantage of the fact that I have had the opportunity to speak with Gema Cabañero, I have asked her what routines we can do at home and there is one that is very easy and simple: drink at least two liters of water a day. “It is essential to stay well hydrated and, in this way, prevent the skin from looking dry and dull. In addition, I also recommend using a facial mask once a week. eye contour focused on solving the condition that worries us most. If we want hydrating and soothing results, we will look for hyaluronic acid or aloe vera among the ingredients. If we want to give the area extra luminosity, it will be important to integrate Vitamin C or retinol.” And if you have had a bad night, a good way to hide dark circles quickly can be through the use of the well-known gel patches. “It is important that they integrate hyaluronic acid, collagen or caffeine into their formula to increase their moisturizing and decongestant power.” 1) ‘Eye and Lip Contour – Nuxuriance Ultra’, NUXE / 2) ‘The Rich Eye Cream’, Augustinus Bader / 3) ‘Icelandic Essence – Eye Serum’, LICO / 4) ‘Renewing Mask – Eye Contour Area’, Nescens / 5) ‘Wake-up serum roll-on’, Biovène Barcelona To keep this area of ​​the face healthy, it is essential that you include a specific cosmetic for the eye contour in your daily routine. Now there are two launches that I recommend: NUXE and Augustinus Bader, who have released two great products so you can start the year with a perfect look. I love them for their texture, they absorb very quickly and leave the skin nourished and firm, in addition to reducing expression lines in record time. I also want to try LICO’s ‘Icelandic Essence’ eye contour and I have signed up for the new Nescens mask, which works as an intensive treatment to treat and correct dark circles, wrinkles and bags. It contains hyaluronic acid, peptides and powerful antioxidants, as well as caffeine, which is an active ingredient that acts as a vasoconstrictor, meaning it narrows blood vessels, reducing the appearance of dark circles and bags under the eyes. Another caffeinated option is the Biovène Barcelona roll-on, designed for tired, dull skin prone to dark circles and puffiness.

Today we are going to talk to you about another recipe that has gone viral in record time not only because it is a delicious and low calorie dessert with which to snack, have breakfast or finish each meal with a sweet detail, but also because they ensure that helps increase collagen productionthe fountain of youth of our skin, hair and bones. To learn more about the green jelly that everyone talks about on the internet We have spoken with experts who have not only detailed its benefits, but have also revealed other rejuvenating recipes and whether we can really alter the amount of collagen we produce through diet. © Getty Images The benefits of green gelatin The most viral dessert of the moment is prepared with a nopal, spinach and lemon and Amil López, nutritionist and doctor in pharmacy, convinces us that there is no shortage of reasons to succeed: “Green gelatin is rich in collagen, a protein essential for skin elasticity and firmness.” Although in his case he recommends another variety of the recipe based on green tea, spirulina and matcha to provide antioxidants: “They fight free radicals, delaying the signs of aging. Consuming it regularly can contribute to brighter and healthier skin.” Dr. Conchita Vidales, aesthetic doctor and coordinator of the nutrition unit at DEMYA Martín del Yerro I Amselem, highlights its protein content, collagen amino acids and vitamins: “Especially the C in spinach, because it helps us increase the amount of collagen available in the body, which is necessary for the proper maintenance of structures. Although among all the variants of the recipe, the Mira+Cueto medical team warns that there are some that are richer in collagen than others: “Perhaps the best known is the one we find in the supermarket, but it may not be the best option, as it has flavorings and sugars.so a healthy way to consume it is to prepare it at home with the most natural ingredients possible.” In addition, the Madrid clinic lists its benefits: Healthy when we prepare it at home as it has low calorie content and higher protein content. Elasticity, hydration and firmness of the skin and its connective tissue. It promotes the health of bones, tendons and joints, as it is a source of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon and other minerals that help regenerate and strengthen the musculoskeletal system. Strengthens nails and hair. It contains an amino acid called glycine that stimulates the acid in the stomach necessary for digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Strengthens blood vessels, improving circulation and promoting cardiovascular health. © romeestrijd Collagen and diet Our experts are adamant that what we eat has a direct impact on our appearance. Dr. Conchita Vidales recommends vitamin C, essential for collagen production; “but above all we can increase the collagen that our body needs through foods such as chicken, beef, pork, blue and white fish, eggs and gelatin either beef, chicken or pork bone broths and cartilaginous structures such as pig’s trotters, pig’s mask, tripe or ox’s tail. Amil López tells us that although the body produces collagen naturally, the process deteriorates with age. Therefore, apart from the diet, he speaks wonders about nutricosmetics: “Include a specialized supplement such as Collagen LPGwhich contains highly bioavailable peptides, can enhance results by acting from the inside. It is the result of a patented combination of marine-derived collagen and elastin peptides in proportions identical to those of the skin. After just 28 days, a reduction in the number of deep wrinkles is observed and after three months the skin is strengthened.” © Getty Images From Mira+Cueto they also recommend the rejuvenating soup that women love celebrities: “A food with great capacity for collagen stimulation is bone broth (beef or chicken) cooked over low heat for hours, which is rich in natural collagen that when cooked breaks down into gelatin, amino acids such as glycine, proline and lysine, essential for the production of collagen in the body. Wellaging nutrition If we approach the issue of designing a diet for the skin from a global approach and not just focused on collagen production, DEMYA nutritionist Martín del Yerro I Amselem points out balance as the key to success: “Proteins, for the contribution of amino acids that support structures such as skin, bones and muscles as well; slow-absorbing carbohydrates (quinoa, legumes, fruits and vegetables); unsaturated fats (omega 3 and 6); and maintain proper hydration through water, infusions, chicken broths and a good supply of vitamins and antioxidants, including vitamin C, E, D and A.” To make our task easier, Amil López suggests a “beautiful skin effect” menu rich in proteins, antioxidants and healthy fats: Breakfast: red fruit smoothie with spinach and chia seeds and walnuts. Snack: green gelatin. Lunch: quinoa salad with salmon and avocado. Dinner: bone broth with vegetables. French omelet. © maralafontan Foods that dull and damage the skin After knowing what we should do, the Mira+Cueto medical team points out what we should not do and they begin with salt for its liquid retaining effect. “It is also known that dairy consumption can cause acne and other skin inflammations. Rosacea and acne problems have been documented associated with the consumption of even skimmed milk.” Finally, they tell us that “we must reduce the consumption of sugars and processed foods as much as possible”, a change that improves hydration levels, texture, wrinkles and even the appearance of inflammatory diseases.
