Skin will be radiant even after 50: life hacks for "mature beauties"

As we age, our skin loses elasticity, wrinkles appear, and our complexion becomes dull. But there's no need to despair.

Dr. Anna Chacon, a dermatologist, and Dr. Emmanuel Loucas, a skin health specialist, shared their secrets to glowing skin after 50 with She Finds.

Avocado is a superfood for beauty

"Avocados are a great superfood for glowing skin," says Dr. Chacon. Thanks to its healthy fats and vitamin E, avocados protect the skin from sun damage and stimulate collagen production. Eat half to a whole avocado every day, adding it to salads, sandwiches, or making guacamole. You can also use avocado oil for cooking and skin care.

Egg whites are a source of youth

Egg whites are a natural source of protein and amino acids essential for healthy skin and collagen synthesis. According to Dr. Chacon, they help reduce wrinkles and fine lines. She recommends eating up to 7 eggs a week, and you can skip the yolks for a cholesterol-free alternative.

Tomatoes: tasty and healthy

Affordable and tasty tomatoes are another way to improve skin health. They are rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C, which stimulate collagen production. Dr. Chacon pays special attention to lycopene, a pigment found in tomatoes that protects the skin from the sun and doubles collagen production. Add tomatoes to your salads, soups, and sauces to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals.

Blueberries: protection against aging

Although wrinkles are an inevitable part of aging, blueberries can help preserve youthfulness. It is rich in antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental damage and inflammation. In addition, blueberries contain vitamins A and C, which stimulate collagen synthesis and fight against its destruction, says Dr. Loucas.

Experts advise drinking plenty of water to moisturize your skin from the inside out. Wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. Cleanse and moisturize your skin regularly. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: get enough sleep, eat right, and exercise.
