Thanks to its multiple properties, silicon will help strengthen the tissues of our body in order to ensure its good condition and its best appearance. Do you want to know more about this element? we tell you all about the properties of silicon for the skin. Discover the products that will give you a greater amount of silicon and how to make this trace element a key factor for the health of your dermis. Take note!

Silicon has become one of the fashionable elements. What many people do not know is that it is a trace element that is present in our body naturally. Its function is to develop and form our tissues, muscles and skin, as well as nails, cartilages or tendons. Silicon is a fundamental element in the formation of collagen and natural elastin, so it is essential to give strength and resistance to our tissues.

The truth is that as we age, the reserves of organic silicon we have in our body slowly decreases, so it is important to provide extra doses of this mineral from 40, if we want to maintain a healthy, elastic skin and rejuvenated.

As we have said before, silicon is an indispensable element in the development and maintenance of skin and tissues, but do you know what its true benefits are? We tell you all about the properties of silicon:

• It stimulates the production of collagen to end cutaneous flaccidity.
• Increases the production of elastin to improve the elasticity of muscles and other organs such as the heart.
• It has a detox action that helps to clean the tissues of toxins harmful to the body.
• Improves joint flexibility.
• Strengthens and cares cartilages while protecting the ligaments.
• Helps accelerate the recovery of muscle injuries.
• It influences the development of bones and the assimilation of calcium.
• Improves skin problems such as sunburn.

Healing properties of silicon

In addition to all this, it is worth noting the large number of healing properties that gives added value. Organic silicon is able to return the cell balance, resist infections and repair damage:

• Increases defenses and strengthens the immune system, thanks to the production of antibodies.
• Protects bones and joints.
• It acts as an analgesic and healing, since it has an anti-inflammatory power.
• Reduces cholesterol levels because it makes the joints waterproof.
• It acts against hypertension and protects the heart and the circulatory system.

As for the skin, silicon has an important incidence, since it is a component of it. Thus the functions of silicon in the skin are summarized in:

• Protection of the skin, influencing its architecture and its elasticity. Deficit of silicon is one of the main causes of wrinkles or dry skin.
• Protection against free radicals and cellular oxidation.

In addition to organic silicon, which is found by default in our body and that over the years is decreasing, we find this element in many other natural products that can provide us with the amount of silicon needed to keep our skin in good condition.

• In the husk of various grains such as wheat, oats or rice.
• In products of vegetable origin, such as alfalfa, horsetail or nettle.
• In fruits, vegetables and vegetables, such as avocado, cucumber, lettuce, onion or strawberries.
• In the sugar of the beet or in the sugar cane.

It is true that when cooking these foods most of the silicon they contain is lost, so it is advisable to take them raw. You can read this article if you want to know how to cook without losing nutrients in food. But if it is difficult for you to consume natural foods rich in silicon, you can also find supplements extracted from bamboo fibers or from the horsetail itself. Try them!

Silicon has become an essential ally for beauty treatments, which is why it is common to find this element in various cosmetic products. In addition to all its natural properties, silicon helps increase and improves the absorption of other components, ie:

• Improves the hydration of the skin, since it is part of hyaluronic acid.
• It stimulates the production of the skin, which makes it a fundamental element when we talk about flaccidity of the skin.

Silicon supplements and concentrated silicon increase the production of collagen and elastin by 19%. The cosmetic products add it to nanoparticles and are recommended for dry skin or with skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema or irritation.
