Madonna’s skin: dermatologist reveals pop diva’s skincare routine – Jornal Estado de Minas

This weekend, Madonna will perform in Copacabana in a show that promises to be historic for her career, after all, this is expected to be the pop diva’s biggest performance, with an expected audience of 1.5 million people . With such grandeur, there is no other subject to talk about. The singer, who in 2023 surprised the public by appearing with a visibly modified appearance at the Grammy Awards, the result of aesthetic procedures carried out in recent years, arrives in Brazil with a more youthful appearance and a less full face.

But what are your secrets to reaching 65 with incredible skin? Dermatologist member of the Brazilian Society of Laser in Medicine and Surgery (SBLMC), Letycia Lopes states that the main thing is to invest in comprehensive care for the dermis. “Avoid factors that can harm skin health, such as smoking, sun exposure without photoprotection, poor sleep, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle and drinking little water. Furthermore, after using makeup, remove it correctly and do not use products that are not suitable for your skin type. When we talk about the skincare routine, use treatment creams prescribed by your dermatologist, correct hygiene, hydration, use of antioxidants, sunscreen and regular skin cleansing”, advises the specialist, pointing out that there is no way to talk about a routine of skincare that could be the same for a 25-year-old person and a 70-year-old person.

“It changes completely, but by choosing the products appropriately, we can see improvements at any age,” he says. To achieve vibrancy and elasticity, it is important to combine home care with in-office treatments. “Collagen biostimulators, botulinum toxin, fillers tailored to restore volume and support that we lose with age, microfocused ultrasound for a facelift without cuts, lasers that seek to improve the quality of skin and blemishes, are treatments that quickly make you appear to have less age”, he suggests.

Food should not be forgotten either. Letycia comments that consuming the right foods is the best way to complement this care. “Vitamin C contributes to the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Omega has an anti-inflammatory effect and contributes to hydration. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and fights free radicals. Zinc, on the other hand, is good for healing,” she says.

For those who want to know one of Madonna’s “little secrets”, the dermatologist reveals it. “She does a lot of treatments in the office. People are fooled by the results promised by certain well-known and very expensive brands, and spend a lot on dermocosmetics. However, this is nowhere near the effect you can achieve with a treatment prescribed and handled by a dermatologist. Of course, she uses manipulated treatments, targeted at her skin type, which is totally different from buying generics at the pharmacy. It also invests heavily in technologies, injectables and collagen bio-stimulators. It is impossible to reach this age without more powerful treatment.”
