In an unique interview with the founder and CEO of Belo Medical Group, Belo stated folks don’t have so as to add moisture to the pores and skin as a result of our cells produce our physique’s personal moisturization.
“I’m anti-moisturizer because you create your own moisture, and I believe it should come from inside your skin,” Belo informed GMA Integrated News.
According to Belo, when folks decide to use moisturizer each time their pores and skin feels tough and dry, the hyaluronic acid pores and skin cells will not any extra ship hydrant since you’re tricking your pores and skin into considering it’s already moisturized.
It stops the pores and skin’s pure capability to regenerate cells and moisturize itself.
While moisturizers could seem to repair the issue, Belo stated when you cease utilizing them, your pores and skin will solely return to its earlier state.
“Then, when you forget to use your moisturizer in one day or two, your skin will get back to being rough and dry until you get dependent on using moisturizer,” Belo defined.
Instead of utilizing moisturizer, Belo encourages utilizing merchandise that may enhance your pores and skin’s capability to create its personal pure collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin.
So as a substitute of doing “cleanse, tone, moisturize,” the 67-year-old magnificence physician suggests following a cleanse, exfoliate, serum (Vitamin C), and sunscreen routine within the morning, and cleanse, tone, and serum (Vitamin A/Retinol) within the night.
“The key is to reveal the baby-soft skin you already have underneath instead of piling on a faux layer of moisture that won’t fix the problem,” Belo concluded. — LA, GMA Integrated News
