The nutrients in food are decisive for keeping skin healthy. Although the characteristics of our skin depend on genetic and hormonal factors and, to a large extent, on external factors such as sunlight, the type of environment or tobacco, more and more importance is being given to food, above all to nutritional deficiencies.
Collagen: related to our skin and joints, its degradation is the main reason for sagging and the appearance of wrinkles.
Vitamin C, which we find in citrus fruits and which is closely related to collagen, as it is a precursor of collagen synthesis.
Catechins: found in green tea, which has enormous antioxidant properties.
Sulphur: found in cucumber, celery, melon, carrot, asparagus, garlic, onion, gelatine, fish and eggs.
Vitamin D is found in oily fish, egg yolks, cheeses and some fortified foods such as milk and cereals.
At Medics Integral Salut we recommend that all our patients starting Facial rejuvenation treatments take into account the consumption of these foods and also try to have 6 sessions of Venus, equipment specifically designed to stimulate collagen production.
