Dr. Orietta Mata, dermatology specialist at Centro de Dermatología Avanzada, tells us about the health of our skin and the proper care to prevent and treat skin blemishes.

The skin is a vital organ that protects us from the adversities of the environment and connects us with the world around us. Therefore, it is essential to take proper care of it.

Excessive sun exposure is one of the main causes of skin blemishes. Using sunscreen with an adequate protection factor, wearing protective clothing and seeking shade on sunny days not only prevents blemishes, but also reduces the risk of skin cancer.

Also keep your skin well hydrated by drinking enough water and using quality moisturizers. Dry skin is prone to developing blemishes and premature wrinkles. Wash your face with a mild cleanser twice a day to remove dirt and debris that can contribute to the formation of blemishes.

Dr. Mata points out that a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables provides antioxidants that help protect your skin against damage and blemishes.

It is important to avoid excessive scratching or rubbing of the skin, which can worsen blemishes and cause scarring. Try to keep your hands away from affected areas.

If you notice spots on your skin that are new or change in size, shape or color, do not hesitate to consult a dermatologist. Early detection of skin problems is essential for effective treatment.

There are several dermatological treatments, such as chemical peels, laser and light therapy, that can help reduce the appearance of skin blemishes. Consult a specialist for options that are right for you.
