Used for years in the fight against aging, omega-3 are now considered useful for combating and preventing the discomfort of sensitive skin
So many times in these pages we talked about the phenomenon of " sensitive skin " . An issue very present in our society, affecting every year more and more people, and that can occur at any time of their lives. Unfortunately, the triggering reason behind this phenomenon, is not classifiable as a single cause , but rather in a series of causes that with time slow to a synergistic effect. We know definitely that the sun , the wind, the temperature changes and the use of cosmetics agents may accentuate the problem and sensitive skin needs special care and forethought . The difficulty lies in the fact that often the cutaneous manifestations are diverse and not always pathological . These include redness, peeling, dryness, itching, allergies, burns, premature formation of wrinkles. This leads us to act in a proper and timely manner, acting on their own symptoms in an attempt to reduce them as much as possible . The first rule to the base of each treatment is skin hydration , water is the only element without which no physiological process is able to function , a deficiency leads to dysfunction elementary that can translate in a slowing of the processes endogenous repairers . Suffice it to say that a dehydration of only 10% can cause major disturbances at the level of elasticity and plasticity of the skin, thus compromising the ability to adapt skin . To this can be remedied by introducing in the diet about 1.5 / 2 liters of water between meals , consuming fruits and vegetables in season and using good cosmetic products , being careful to choose between occlusive and non- occlusive . The difference consists in the capacity or less of the cosmetic product to block the normal transpiration of water through the skin , favoring its accumulation inside (occlusive phenomenon) , compared to the ability to facilitate binding to the epidermal surface of the water by the aid Alpha hydroxy acids at low concentration or particular sugars such as trehalose (non-occlusive phenomenon) . Generally, the choice should be made according to the degree of dehydration and aging of our skin, younger skin may not require an occlusive effect .
Alpha_linolenic_molecule Omega -3, are a category of essential fatty acids indispensable for the correct functioning of the organism . Their anti-inflammatory power may be of help in cases of skin sensibileMa the hydration alone is sometimes not enough , especially when they accompany the phenomenon of sensitive skin there are some pathological conditions such as psoriasis , allergic dermatitis or seborrheic dermatitis, or abnormalities in keratinization ; in these cases beyond the traditional proper medical care , there are natural substances that when added to cosmetics or pharmaceutical products for topical use, can alleviate the symptoms. Recently introduced in the cosmetic field there is the extract of caviar , which thanks to its high concentration in Omega 3 , helps the cells of our skin to be more resistant and elastic , thereby contributing to improve the natural barrier function of the skin . This action could be accompanied by a good natural anti-inflammatory effect , exerted for example from an extract of licorice, which topical level , is able to prolong the anti-inflammatory response of our organism , slowing down the degradation of endogenous cortisol ( a hormone produced by our body, anti-inflammatory ) . Speaking so , naturally , it greatly reduces the possible reaction of our body called rebound effect or rebound effect , ie a systemic response that can offset or cancel the beneficial effects induced artificially , this situation can occur , for example, when you using an excessive cortisone -based creams . Finally , we recommend the use of mild cleansers that do a little persistent foam and which respect the physiological pH , all in order to preserve part of the hydro-lipid film skin (outer layer that forms on the skin) is indispensable for the maintenance of a healthy skin .
