A relevância da adição de uma rotina de skincare para a prevenção do envelhecimento cutâneo precoce: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

In Brazil, the population's life expectancy is increasingly increasing and parallel to this, there is a proportional increase in the aging of the Brazilian people. The skin, being the organ that covers us, is one of the first to show the signs of aging. Therefore, Skincare has stood out as a promising method in this scenario, by enabling several non-invasive proposals that promise to avoid the damage caused by premature skin aging. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze how the use of cosmeceuticals, included in the skincare routine, can prevent premature skin aging. Therefore, it is worth highlighting that the work is a bibliographic review of integrative literature, qualitative and exploratory in nature, with a search in the databases: PubMed, VHL and Scopus. Therefore, the results obtained through the search found that a skincare routine can reduce the harmful effects of aging, through three main steps: cleansing, hydration and mainly, photoprotection. Furthermore, the literature has shown that the addition of active ingredients such as antioxidants and retinoids can optimize the fight against the damage caused by premature skin aging and should be included in the routine, but always prioritizing the application of sunscreen. Therefore, it is concluded that the strategic use of cosmeceuticals included in a skincare routine can produce positive changes in the skin, improving its general quality and acting more specifically to combat the harm caused by premature skin aging, such as wrinkles, sagging, stains and dehydration
