The first signs of skin aging appear earlier than you thought: the professor advised how to stop it

– In summer, it seems that the skin does not need to be radiant or masked, but everything changes as soon as the cold begins. Is it true that the condition of the skin changes according to the time of year?

– There really is a change. In summer, it is important to note that the skin reflects how we feel. Vacation, rest, less stress, more pleasures, so it really improves the condition. Of course, the sun also has an anti-inflammatory effect. Dries up the abscesses themselves, reduces the number of bacteria and viruses. Some cause, for example, a herpetic infection. But basically most inflammatory skin conditions get better in the summer, although herpes and rosacea can get worse.

However, both the sun and the wind, when we are often outdoors, exfoliate the skin and promote the formation of a larger layer of dead skin on the surface. And in September, the skin will look more flaky and dry. If there was more intense burning, you can see that more wrinkles, more pigmentation. Therefore, it is recommended to pay more attention to skin care in autumn, to review what our remedies are. What works in the summer is no longer enough for the fall.

Especially for dry skin, those that stretch the skin after washing the face, it is necessary to apply nourishing creams. <...> Seek medical advice on the skin if you have never had skin diseases, even using hygiene measures the rash continues to spread, causing itching, itching, pain, it is necessary to see a doctor. Also, people often don’t recognize melanoma, skin cancer, because it doesn’t hurt. If we see a sudden formation of a derivative that grows, bleeds, the cream does not help, it is advisable to consult a specialist.

– Can any rash or change in the skin indicate diseases that are not related to the skin?

– Skin is a really good “traitor” and says a lot about a person. Dermatologists can see diseases of various organs, disorders of the digestive system. The same acne is often associated with the entire digestive system, bloating. However, research is also necessary. And if you do not see a person, only consult by phone, you may not be able to make that diagnosis and not treat it.

– The psychological state of our skin affects directly.

– Yes absolutely. There is a lot of research. There is clear evidence that chronic stress affects the skin. People think stress is when someone gets hurt, gets divorced, burns out. But stress is also anxiety about tomorrow, overwork, not going to bed on time. All of this stimulates the endocrine system to secrete more hormones. The skin is particularly sensitive to all these changes. You need to control your emotions.

– Food is also very important for the skin. What diet should be formed to be better for the skin?

– Water is very important. Attention should be paid to sweets, alcohol, flour products. We hadn’t noticed such great reactions to flour products before – they weren’t enough for one person to eat a bun and serve it right away. Flour products must now be restricted because there is much more to your diet than is necessary. In general, the amount of food eaten should be limited, as food poisoning is also important in dermatology. We consume much more than we need. Movement is also very important for the skin. Being in nature has a very positive effect on the skin. When cold weather begins, care must be taken to prevent the skin from freezing. Now a new wave of patients have sore and red hands. Therefore, after every second or at least every second hand washing, apply moisturizers to your hands or other areas.

– It is often thought after a rash that food is the fault and the product. But is this a myth?

– Yes. Products high in histamine cause skin rashes. For example, we often have to receive calls from patients who go to the south of France, where there is wine, cheese, various seafood, fish and then they get rashes and itching. If we look at the list of products that cause breakouts, eggplants, broccoli, and sauerkraut are rich in histamine. Taking all of these substances at the same time, even without allergies, can cause breakouts. <...> If a rash occurs, there is always a reason for it. These can be genetics, habits, chronic stress, repressed negative emotions that sooner or later arise.

– When it comes to skin, we cannot disassociate beauty, the desire to stay young. Professor, what should you have in your salon and what is not worth investing money in?

– A very good and difficult question. As there is no shoe model for everyone, also with leather. Place 10 people, they will all have different skin and will prescribe the same product, they will all react differently. Unfortunately, the first signs of aging begin after age 20, most pronounced in most 27 years. Later, a large spike occurs between the ages of 32 and 33, and even after age 40, the skin changes abruptly, as if it were cut. What you need to do is hydrate, great skin care at home. Of course, nutrition, water, sleep. What matters next is what you put on it.

Detergents should not be too active if there is no acne. It is better to be softer, otherwise it will wash the surface of the skin too much. After 30 years, you can think of serums, with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, coenzymes. Creams and lotions are then applied. They depend on whether the skin is sensitive, oily, dry or combination. In summer, only watering is enough, and when the cold period, the heating season, begins to feed, because it tends to dry out, the sebaceous glands are no longer so active. Facial treatments are also often requested.

The essence of all of them, if the skin is clogged, clean it, if it is dry, sensitive, soothe and deeply hydrate. Of course, after such a procedure, the skin glows. If the skin still lacks moisture, mesotherapy, biorevitalization with higher amounts of hyaluronic acid is applied. In case of aging processes, injections of botulinum toxin can be offered. However, no botulinum will make you happy if there are unresolved concerns. However, currently there are all possible procedures in Lithuania. You need to find out, read and be sure to consult a specialist, because girls often read about various lasers, although such procedures should be carried out only after 10-20 years. There is no way to allow the skin to act in some way, in various ways, because there will simply be a scar.

– Do these procedures, such as botulinum toxin, stop aging, delay it?

– Still, we must first be able to feel good regardless of age. Aging is natural and you have to pay to grow old happily and beautifully. No one will hide frustration or depression. But most of the procedures, if performed in moderation, preventively and giving the woman only natural support for the skin, it is possible. Don’t change a person, just help support the process. Aging is happening, it is an illusion. Only that illusion is safe enough in the hands of a professional.

– Professor, what advice could you give a woman of 20, 30, 40 years or more?

– Well, at 20 it is less smoking and drinking. This is the period when you want to try everything. Irrigation and sun protection are very important to them, don’t attract, don’t burn, I’m not talking about solariums anymore. 30-year-old man need to worry about nutrition, pay more attention to procedures, skin care. See and maybe do several procedures a year to maintain skin quality. After 30 years, it would be a good idea to consult a dermatologist if it is important to you to maintain facial features for as long as possible. When a woman exceeds 40 imt, it takes more money, more effort.
