Skin Aging

WHAT TO DO?

Skin care - an essential component.

It would be misleading to claim that using OMRO products halts skin aging. However, skin care is an essential component of reducing skin aging.

Discover how you can take preventive action and what measures are advisable to keep your skin healthy.

The skin is our largest organ

Not only is our skin the largest organ of our body, but it is also a fascinating wonder of nature equipped with numerous abilities. It serves as a protective shield against external influences, regulates body temperature, can retain moisture, and even express emotions visibly.

It fulfills all these functions throughout a lifetime. Unlike most other body cells, skin cells are constantly active, and you can support them in fulfilling their tasks optimally.

Skin Aging

The aging of the skin primarily occurs in the connective tissue, which is almost exclusively composed of collagen fibers. In youthful skin, these are flexible and capable of moving against each other. Due to their swelling capacity, they can retain a lot of moisture.

During the process of skin aging, on the one hand, cell activity continuously decreases, and on the other hand, individual collagen fibers responsible for elasticity, firmness, and moisture retention become hardened and adhere together. The decreasing skin elasticity is accompanied by a reduced water-binding capacity of the epidermis.

measures for

healthy Skin

Ensure that your skin receives an adequate amount of fluid, as this is crucial for skincare.

Adequate sleep promotes skincare and gives the skin a fresh and healthy appearance. Ideally, you should sleep about eight hours per night.

A balanced diet with fresh ingredients, preferably without industrially processed foods, is crucial for skin health. Avoid products to which you are allergic or intolerant. With few exceptions, supplements are not necessary for healthy skin. We will soon publish a separate blog post on this topic.

Avoid tobacco and alcohol, as well as excessive UV exposure.

Maintain a balanced work-life balance by regularly exercising besides work, moving around a lot, and reducing stress.

Do not wash your skin too frequently with soap, as this can disrupt its natural balance. Once a day is generally sufficient.

Completely avoid chemical skin peels and use other types of peels at most every two months, as they can strongly irritate the skin. As an alternative, we recommend products containing activated charcoal.

Adequate skincare - this keeps the skin supple, supports the natural regeneration of the stratum corneum, and helps restore the skin's barrier function. Successful skincare also aims to preserve the freshness and elasticity of the skin.

Provide your skin with essential minerals, trace elements, and other essential nutrients.

Shaving irritates the skin, so it should be done as gently as possible. Use shaving products that support your skin during shaving. Avoid aggressive aftershaves after shaving.
