Skin Aging
Plastic surgeon, Dr Des Fernandes, has dedicated his life to researching and treating skin aging. Over time, the skin becomes thinner and more wrinkled — for some people earlier, for others later. Time is relentless. In addition to genetic factors, skin aging is also influenced by many external factors that we ourselves can affect. Healthy nutrition is one important factor. The Mediterranean diet is generally considered the standard of healthy eating, so on the Costa del Sol the situation should be quite good in this respect. It is known that smoking has no positive health effects, and this also applies here: in people who smoke continuously, the skin may appear up to 10 years older than their actual age. Other forms of air pollution also accelerate skin aging. As pleasant as tanning may be, the sun is undeniably the main cause of premature skin aging and wrinkles. Ultraviolet radiation penetrates the skin and causes cellular changes, thinning of the skin, and the formation of wrinkles. Aged skin is thin, its outermost layer (the horny layer, or stratum corneum) is thickened, and the renewal of collagen and elastin slows down. According to Dr Des, sunlight destroys the vitamin A that is essential for the skin. Constant exposure to the sun creates a chronic vitamin A deficiency in the skin, which manifests itself as skin aging. Naturally, vitamin A obtained from food also reaches the skin, but rather slowly, too late, and in insufficient quantities. All this can be corrected with an active daily vitamin A cream. Studies show that vitamin A thins the dead outer layer of the skin, increases cell division and the production of collagen and elastin, and may thicken the skin by 30–50% within a few months. Vitamin A has several chemically different forms, some of which may irritate the skin, while others are better tolerated. Another challenge is absorption: as the skin becomes healthier, the absorption of creams may actually become more difficult, which is why different methods are needed to help active ingredients penetrate into the skin. A third issue is individual sensitivity to vitamin A. Some people are highly sensitive even to small amounts and develop redness and irritation (a vitamin A reaction), while others tolerate much larger doses. The most important things when being in the sun are: Good physical protection. Whether it is a hat, a terrace, or shade. A good sunscreen, while keeping in mind that even the strongest sunscreen cannot completely prevent sun damage. A daily vitamin A cream combined with a moisturizing cream. — Asko SalmiMD, PhD, plastic surgeon. Sairaala KL / Christinas Clinic.

Anne Kasemets’s favorites from Environ
When working with skin, I cannot afford to make random choices. Every product I recommend has to pass the most important test first — my own skin. Before I fully started using Environ products, I wanted to see how they actually work. And that created a real “wow” effect. A favorite I keep coming back to If I had to highlight one range that I always return to, it would be the ENVIRON® Vita-Antioxidant AVST range (Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM™).The reason is very simple.I do not know another skincare range that introduces the skin to stronger active ingredients in such a logical and safe, step-by-step way: You start with a lower level of vitamin A The skin adapts You move on to the next level And it is exactly this consistency that delivers results. A combination that simply works If I had to recommend one “duo”, it would be: ENVIRON® Alpha Hydroxy Derma-Lac® Lotion ENVIRON® Vitamin A, C & E Body Oil Why? Because these two products complement each other perfectly. ENVIRON® Alpha Hydroxy Derma-Lac® Lotion: Gently exfoliates the skin Smooths texture Improves hydration ENVIRON® Vitamin A, C & E Body Oil: Locks in moisture Nourishes the skin with vitamins Gives the skin a healthy glow When used together, the skin becomes noticeably smoother, softer, and more even — both on the body and, if needed, on drier areas of the face.
