Is your skin feeling puffy? Adeela's Go-To Beauty products to help fight inflammation

The latest buzz in beauty? “Inflammaging.” Coined by the scientific researcher Professor Claudio Franceschi in 2000, the term relates to the low-grade chronic inflammation that leads to accelerated ageing and disease. Stressors that trigger inflammation include smoking, eating sugary or processed food, and environmental factors such as UV radiation and pollution (so summer can be especially damaging). Stress manifests through the skin as psoriasis, acne, eczema, rosacea; it can also contribute to the leathery texture that skin takes on after prolonged exposure to pollutants. 

 

Can a change in your diet help reduce inflammation?

Yes, changing your diet can help reduce inflammation. Here are some tips for reducing inflammation through diet: 

Avoid inflammatory foods: These include refined carbohydrates, fried foods, red meat, processed meat, margarine, shortening, and lard.

 

Which treatment would you suggest helps best with inflammaging?

I would recommend Halo Laser, which triggers the body’s inflammatory healing response. The result is the remodelling of the collagen and elastin fibres, improving the appearance of lines, wrinkles, sun damage and redness.
