by Trying to prevent aging is not an easy task, since it is natural for the body to face physical, metabolic, mental and functional transformations that occur over the years, becoming evident in the characteristics of the skin.
Added to this are external agents such as pollution, improper exposure to the sun, stress and bad lifestyle habits that affect the appearance of early signs of aging.
In the skin, biological changes begin to be noticed around the age of 40 with the development of small wrinkles that, little by little, will become more visible. These signs of age are a consequence of the hormonal decrease that affects the skin cells and the production of collagen and elastin, which are the proteins in charge of keeping the skin in healthy conditions.
On the one hand, collagen is present in connective tissues and is essential for the skin to remain resistant and firm, and on the other hand, elastin provides flexibility and elasticity to the dermis and is found in connective, bone, and cartilage tissues. .
Betting on the use of natural products, which provide vitamins and other nutrients, is one of the best ways to take care of it, but diet and adequate hydration must not be neglected. Among the natural options is the egg.
