Natural Remedies For An Aging Complexion
The skin is a layer of the body that isolates, protects and interacts with the outside, therefore, it is also the one that most suffers from the effects of weather, climate, contamination, etc. With that in mind, today we’ll talk about natural remedies for an aging complexion.
About aging skin
But, in addition, internal factors, such as food, emotions and the state of our organs, also affect the skin. Therefore, if our intention is to improve it, we must act internally and externally on it.
Vitamins and minerals are essential to prevent an aging skin. If our diet is rich in fresh and raw fruits and vegetables, seeds, oilseeds, whole grains and vegetables, we may not need vitamin supplements and the like.
But we must consider that the skin is nourished especially by vitamins A, C and E.
As for food, it is essential to avoid the consumption of salt, as it dehydrates and devitalizes our skin.
As for minerals, selenium is a true beauty elixir and is especially important from the age of 40, accompanied by vitamin B6.
It is convenient to take the vitamin as a supplement in the morning, as it can affect sleep at night. If the supplement is not the most viable option, it is possible to find it in whole grains.
Other minerals that will enrich the state of our skin are zinc and the trace elements CuAgAu (Copper-Silver-Gold) and Mg (magnesium).
To find all the minerals we need, we can consume brewer’s yeast, wheat germ and maca (tuber with many beneficial properties, hormone regulator, libido enhancer, etc.) Hypertensive people need to be careful, as this can raise blood pressure arterial.
The antioxidant properties of ginseng and ginkgo biloba are also incredibly beneficial.

The Schussler salts have no contraindications or side effects and allow us to properly assimilate the minerals in our body. In this case, the following types of salts will be very useful to us:
- Calcium fluoratum: helps give tissue flexibility and at the same time prevents sagging. It is ideal for stretch marks, wrinkles, sagging skin, etc.
- Natrum muriaticum: ideal in cases of skin dryness, as it regulates the body’s water balance in general.
- Silicea: known as “the beauty salt”, it is ideal for the skin, hair and nails.
In addition to nourishing the skin from the inside, it is also important to protect it externally, with the most natural products possible, such as vegetable oils (wheat germ, sesame, rose hips) or creams that contain paraffins or other toxic products.
Sometimes, we can cool it with a jet of cold water, which will revitalize and improve circulation. We can also use therapies such as facial reflexology, which is very relaxing and healthy, or a good facial massage with suction cups.
