Say Goodbye to Ageing Skin – The Best Tips against Wrinkles, Dull Skin, and Loss of Radiance

We all get older, but is it really part of genetics and predisposition how fast our skin ages? Is it simply something that we have to live with, when the first wrinkles appear? Or might we be able to influence it somehow? Thank God, the second statement is true, as the 4 main criteria for ageing skin are oxidation, inflammation, hyperglycemia, and decrease of endogenous hormones.

These are 4 factors that we can alter easily, so that the skin does not lose its firmness, the organs function properly, the body is not acidified, the joints don’t wear-out, and the circulation stops stagnating.

With the support of the right nutrients and cosmetics, we can slow-down or even rewind the internal clock somewhat. The sun, environmental toxins, smoking, and stress are some of the main influences and create free radicals that are believed to cause many of the degenerative processes.

Including antioxidant foods in your daily nutrition is the most effective, known method for protecting cells. Take notes, here are a couple of recommendations for you, which are not even that hard to apply or unheard of:

• Raw cocoa or dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) as well as red wine contain polyphenol, which is a catcher of radicals. But be careful: The correct dose makes the difference. We don’t encourage you to overindulge in chocolate or alcohol with this recommendation!
• As I have mentioned in many of my blogs and articles, chlorophyll protects the cells and is found in dark green leafs and vegetables. The darker the green, the more chlorophyll; like in the case of spinach, kale, broccoli, and arugula.
• Fluids in the form of water and unsweetened tea invigorate the body and detox it on a continuous basis.
• Carrots have beta-carotene, which helps very well against free radicals.
• Vitamin C, such as in acerola or camu camu, provides cell protection in its best form. That’s why we have created the Superfood Mix “Shield” containing a lot of these vitamin C rich superfoods at Wellville, in order to support the immune system. Tomatoes include vitamin C, too. The substance lycopene, which is responsible for the red color, is a true fountain of youth.
• Cucumbers and well-tried cucumber masks are great for internal as well as external application, as they provide hydration and nourish the skin with many nutrients.
• Omega 3-6 and 9 fatty acids are a true remedy for all inflammatory processes in your body, e.g. gums, paranasal sinuses, digestive tract, and joints. Many times, a supply of these fatty acids in combination with a small detox already assists in the remedy of arthrosis pains. That’s the reason, we have included Omega 3-6-9 capsules in our Wellville product range, as they offer an optimal composition of these necessary fats.
• Omega 3 fatty acids are also concentrated in cold-water fish, such as mackerel, salmon, or cod but also flax, rapeseed, and soy oil. The consumption of 300mg Omega 3 acids is recommended.
• Avoid sugar along with regular and extensive alcohol consumption and other stimulants, fried foods, and heated plant based oils, caffeine, as the skin will be dehydrated and acidified by all of these, and trans fats are also damaging to your organism.

The use of proper cosmetics in the form of body cleansers and creams is important as well. As our largest organ, our body breathes and is thus exposed to environmental stress the most. That’s why you should select cosmetic products that are natural, organic, and free of all chemical additives. We have chosen Cola Cosmetic as trusted products that follow these guidelines, are even vegan, and smell delicious as well, while making your skin soft.

I recommend browsing through our Wellville Shop (online August 22) to get some inspiration.
