If you want to have a younger and more elastic skin, it is time to add to your beauty treatments an essential element to achieve it: silicon. This mineral has become the element of fashion, since it helps maintain a healthier skin, away from the signs of aging and with much more flexibility, although it is also positive to maintain good health of hair, nails and joints. 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.

As you see, silicon is an essential element in our body, given that it helps improve our health in various areas. Increase your silicon levels! If you want to know more, you may also be interested in this article on How to increase the production of collagen and elastin.

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.

The mask or mascara is one of the most useful and most useful makeup products. Mascara helps you make your eyes look prettier and bigger. The curler, the mascara and the eyeliner are my trio when it comes to quick makeup and today I share 7 super easy and very effective tricks to use the mascara and get the most out of it.

You can apply several layers for more volume; try to use mascara that says it does not cause lumps or those balls that are formed with some products. Apply one layer and wait a few seconds to apply the next one. There are many masks or mascara that do not leave clots and are wonderful among them those of CoverGirl and some of L'oreal, Revlon, Lancome, Dior, Estee Lauder and many others.

Black is the most used color in mascara or mascara and suits all eyes and skin colors. You can use colored mascara if you wish, especially if you are young and you want a fun or very fashionable make-up.

Try to start putting the mascara from the root of the hair to make it look better. Some make-up artists recommend applying the mascara moving the brush in zigzag (from side to side subtly) so that no balls are formed.

Water-proof mascara is not easy to remove and eyelashes may fall off when you have to rub them with cotton to remove mascara. Read beautiful eyelashes

If you want a better effect try to curl your lashes before applying the mascara or afterwards if you do it with care, because if there is accumulated dirt in the curler rubber the lashes can stick and break. Read types of curlers or crushers

If you want several affects you can try to mix several types of mascara, for example one to lengthen the eyelashes and another to make them look more voluminous. Read longer tabs

In this is a matter of personal taste, some make-up artists recommend putting mascara or mascara only on the upper lashes, others put it on both lashes. I use it only in the upper ones because in the lower ones it is easier to get stained but it can be used in both.

You know that in mascara ads models always have extensions of tabs.

And there you have the tricks, and you have some trick you want to share? Leave me a comment

We continue with this entry the Product of the Month series, which will be about products that I recommend especially. All of them I have tried and some of them are part of my daily routine of skin care. I will tell you it features and components and how you can get the most benefit for your personal care. Surely you can find the solution to some of the things that most concern you about the appearance and condition of your skin.

The area of ​​the eyes has thinner skin than the rest of the face. That's why the signs of age appear first: crow's feet, dark circles, bags ... It is essential to use specific products for that area. If you want to consult some tips to take care and treat the area of ​​the eyes you can consult this entry: Do you know how to take care of your eyes and rejuvenate your eyes?

This month's product is the Mary Kay Liquid Eye Make-up Remover and it occupies a special place in my beauty corner. It was the first product I bought from the brand and it is also one of the best sellers. The Mary Kay Eye Make-up Remover is another of my essentials and now I explain why.

As I was saying, the skin around the eyes is very delicate, which is why it is so important to use a good make-up remover that gently removes makeup effectively, without having to rub too much and without causing reactions. For me, that product is Mary Kay's two-phase eye make-up remover

The Mary Kay Eye Make-up Remover gently removes all types of eye makeup, including the water-resistant eyelash mask, without damaging or stretching the delicate skin of the eye area. It also does not leave a greasy feeling on the skin because it is oil-free.

But the most important thing for me is that it is suitable for sensitive skin and eyes. It is clinically proven against skin irritations and allergies (hypoallergenic); It does not contain fragrances and is suitable for contact lens wearers.

It also stands out for its effectiveness: with very little product, gently clean all the makeup and without the need to insist too much.

• The biphasic formula without oils gently removes all types of eye makeup.
• The upper phase removes the water-resistant makeup and the lower phase removes makeup that is not water resistant.
• Because the two phases work together, you must shake the pot well for the product to be effective.
• This product contains a part of glycerin and another part of soothing botanical extracts, which while removing and cleaning the eye area, treat the contour skin.

• Shake the product until it is mixed in a homogeneous formula.
• Deposit a small amount of product on a cotton disk.
• Slide the cotton pad gently to completely remove the makeup from the eyes, without squeezing or rubbing. Use a clean cotton for each eye.

• Poloxamer 184 is a cleaning agent that dissolves oils and traps dirt to help remove it from the skin. This ingredient is often used to contribute to the foaming properties of a product.
• The cyclohexasiloxane solvent is a liquid capable of dissolving materials in a product.

Remember that it is very necessary to have a good facial cleaning routine that allows you to eliminate all the products used, dead cells and impurities. In this entry, you can consult: Why is facial cleansing important and what cleaning routine to choose?

I suffer from chronic conjunctivitis and many eye make-up products cause irritation and itching. When I tried this product, I told myself that I did not have to search anymore. It is a make-up remover that perfectly removes both a waterproof mask and a fixed eyeliner, and quickly. I use it every day, since I usually wear makeup, and it has never caused an allergy, nor has it left my eyes red. And since you only have to use a small amount of product to get excellent results, it lasts a lot.

It also turns out to be a featured product for the famous videobloger Isabel Llanos. Do not miss the video in which you try the Mary Kay Liquid Eye Make-up Remover.

It is the wedding season and for such a special occasion, I present you with three bridal makeups, ideal for such an important day.

In the three makeups for today's wedding, the most important thing is to prepare the skin in advance. It is ideal to perform an extra hydration several months ago to achieve a perfect result on that great day. You can check this entry for it: Would you like to have a hydrated skin from today?

Then, with these basic tips and tricks of skin care, you can get a dazzling result for this day or for any occasion.

To get a perfect look it is important to first apply a specific treatment for your skin. That way you'll have your face ready to make up later. This treatment should consist of at least one cleanser, serum and moisturizer. I recommend Mary Kay's Timewise Miracle Set. It is essential to have a fresh skin that gives a perfect close-up.

If necessary, then choose anti-aging supplements to help you dazzle, such as anti-dark circles, an eye contour or a perfectioner serum.

When the time comes, perfect your skin with these simple steps:

The secret of a perfect and lasting finish lies many times in the application of a foundation primer. After treating the skin, allow the products to be absorbed to apply the pre-base. The pre-base helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. I recommend the Pre-base of Makeup with SPF 15 of Mary Kay. This lightweight gel glides on easily filling imperfections and dries instantly with a matte finish. This is how you create the perfect canvas for an impeccable foundation application, which prolongs the duration of makeup.

The concealer conceals an irregular skin tone, pimples and dark spots. The secret of a natural result is to apply it little by little and melt it correctly with the skin.

The foundation gives you a smooth and even skin. You apply it on the whole face, from the center to the sides. Use gentle movements until it is fully fused with the skin.

Once you have applied the color, fix it with the powders and your makeup will remain intact for hours. For example, apply Translucent Powders to reduce shine and get a radiant face. You can also use Bronzing, Illuminating or Compact Powders, depending on the effect you want to achieve.

Now that you have the perfect skin, you can explore these professional makeups that I present to you for a day or evening wedding, more classic or daring. I remind you that you can also customize these bridal looks in the Mary Kay Virtual Makeup Application by adding many more details: accessories, hairstyles, color combinations...
