How to prevent skin diseases?
It is important to mention that the genetics of your skin play a fundamental role in preventing these diseases; However, there are things you can do to prevent them, here we have some useful tips:
Protect yourself from the sun
Avoid spending long hours in the sun and if you do use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30. Remember that it is very important to apply it constantly, minimum every 4 hours.
Even if you are at home, it is important that you use sunscreen. We use electronic devices everyday and they emit a blue light that is harmful to the skin.
Clean and hydrate your skin
Throughout the day your skin is exposed to pollution, dirt and sweat. Getting home and going to bed without washing your face is a serious mistake that you should avoid at all costs, since these external agents are absorbed into the skin, damaging its appearance and favoring the appearance of acne.
It is important to wash your face every night and applying a moisturizing cream that provides you with the necessary nutrients to regenerate the skin while you sleep. Important tip: Don’t over do it, washing your face more than 3 times a day can cause a dryness problem. Maximum twice a day is more than enough.
