Wonders of Retinol

Maravillas del Retinol

WHAT IS RETINOL?

Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A and is known for its anti-aging and rejuvenating properties that fight the signs of aging and wrinkles.

And the truth is, it's one of the most sought-after and desired ingredients in skincare in general, and in men's cosmetics in particular, which is why retinol has become a must-have in the most complete beauty routines. Want to know why? Below, we'll tell you about its benefits and how to use it to get the most out of it.

BENEFITS OF RETINOL

Collagen by the tube

For those who suspect it but aren't sure, collagen is a protein that forms part of the fibers that give skin its structure. So, when we help it produce collagen, we achieve less sagging and firmer skin, something that has been proven to be stimulated by the use of retinol.

Hello cells!

But it's not just about the deep layers; in addition to promoting skin smoothness from within, it also acts as an exfoliant. And you might ask, how can this be? Because by using retinol products in your men's skincare routine, you can eliminate the most superficial dead cells, allowing new ones to form.

Honey, I've shrunk my pores

Retinol actually began as a key ingredient in cosmetic acne treatments. In fact, it's key to regulating excess sebum on the face and also reducing pore size. This is undoubtedly one of the reasons why retinol is most popular among those concerned about skin unevenness and those with oily and combination skin.

Like the c * of a baby

That's what it's all about at the end of the day. And retinol is one of the active ingredients that best achieves this in men's cosmetics because, in addition to stimulating collagen production, it helps the formation of elastin and hyaluronic acid, which maintains optimal hydration levels in the skin. And remember: when your skin is hydrated, you increase the thickness of the epidermis, which fills in wrinkles and expression lines, leaving your face smoother and more even.

The “good face” effect

And the benefit we love most before heading out for a good plan: that "healthy face" effect you get from using a good retinol. You'll see how your skin looks more radiant and radiant, with a perfect tone. Because it acts as an antioxidant, fighting not only cellular aging but also external agents (sun, pollution, etc.) that dull and blemish the skin.

HOW TO USE RETINOL?

We all know it. Around age 30 is when we begin to see our skin lose its strength. And that's also when it's recommended to start including retinol in your skincare routine with men's cosmetics designed specifically for this purpose.

Although this is an active ingredient recommended for all skin types, it's advisable to gradually incorporate retinol into your skincare routine. Remember that more sensitive skin can be reactive to it if used abruptly at first.

You should use your retinol products at night, as sun exposure can cause small spots to appear on your skin. Incorporate it into your nighttime routine, or if you use it during the day, use it alongside other men's skincare products such as a face cream with sun protection (minimum SPF 20), avoiding direct exposure.
