Fight These Five Aggressors Of Skin Aging And Shoot For That Glass Skin Glow
Get that glass skin shine and duel skin dehydration by fighting against these five skin stressors
Smooth and dewy skin is now a growing need, but with the little bit of time that we tail, we aim for alternative routines and beauty regimens that will make skincare much easier to execute. Thankfully, new technologies and formulations have continued to flower as beauty brands introduce their latest innovations.
This water gel wonder from Neutrogena, for one, is a generous offer for consumers who cannot squeeze time-consuming, ten-step skincare trends in their tight schedules. It is such a sweet relief that a simpler route to a fresh-face finish is made possible with minimum effort yet maximum experience.
With a fast-absorbing formula that acts like a gel and the lightweight property that it exhibits, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel has plumping effects that promise to last long. Composed of a triple-charged formula such as hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and electrolytes, it fills the skin with moisture, radiance, and more of that glass skin glow.
“Now that we are all going out again as the world opens up, I know that we can get a little bit tired of all these complications and we are looking for ways to simplify our lives. One thing where we can simplify, though, is our skincare,” Bea Bravo, the Senior Marketing Manager of Johnson & Johnson, starts off.
To support Bea’s statement, Neutrogena ambassador Laureen Uy attests to the effects of the product. “Back then, I used to have really, really dry skin and I feel like I wanted to put a lot of skincare products on my face, but what’s important and what I learned now is that you only really just need one product that has everything your skin needs,” she explains.
According to Vanessa Chong, Johnson & Johnson Research and Development Scientist for Skin Health, preventing the premature aging of skin can be simplified with the right range of beauty products that begins with a gentle cleanser, a good toner to minimize pores, a moisturizer, and to top it off, a sunscreen to protect the skin.
Combating the five most frequent causes of dehydration and skin damage, also, is a prerequisite for achieving the glass skin glow. To better understand the benefits of a healthy and hydrated skin, Vanessa talked about the top five malevolent factors that affect premature aging and how they can hamper skin health.

Skincare Tips
Skincare Tips
1. Food
“Avoid food that is very deep-fried, preserved, processed, or salty. Another one would be [to] avoid drinking soda because they’re very full of sugars, artificial sweeteners, and flavors which could contribute to inflammation inside the body. And then, this inflammation is actually a process known as glycation, which manifests as blemishes or acne on your skin.”

“You should definitely try as much as possible to reduce your intake of those foods or drinks. We should also be drinking plenty of water every single day. Our body is mostly made of water so it’s actually important to keep hydrated not only on the outside—on your skin—but also, internally as well.”

2. Pollution
“Pollution is also a very big factor, now that people are going back to offices or going on vacations. Vehicle exhausts and factory emissions in cities can lower air quality, so aside from affecting breathing, dirt and dust particles in the air can also irritate our skin.”

“Once these irritants cling onto the skin, they can actually make it more likely for rashes or acne to occur.”

3. Smoking
“Smoking can also increase the chances of illnesses.”

4. Stress
“I think stress is also a very common factor [among] us nowadays. Stress occurs when we have to deal with emotional issues like worries from work [and] negative emotions.”

“And then, we also have external stress, which is caused by pollutants and harsh weather conditions as well as unsuitable skincare products.”

5. UV Rays
“One of the most common factors would be UV rays. As much as our bodies need sunlight for the production of Vitamin D, we also need to limit our exposure to avoid damaging our skin.”

“Too much exposure to UV rays can cause UV skin damage, sunburn, and in the long run, it can also lead to premature skin aging, dark spots, [and] loss of elasticity.”
