Did you know that the skin is the body’s largest organ? It retains fluids preventing dehydration, inhibits microbes from penetrating the body therefore preventing infection, helps maintain an even body temperature, and assists in Vitamin D intake. Anything that irritates or inflames the skin can produce symptoms such as redness, swelling, burning, and itching. Although changes in skin color and texture may go away naturally, there are certain symptoms that are indicators of greater underlying problems.
When traveling to Mexico it is vital to take precautions regarding your skin. Many North Americans flock to the country to soak up the sun and do so without any sort of protection.

Many people who are on vacation or planning to be, have the hopes of regaining a youthful luster from their time off.

However, there are things that one can do in order to slow down the aging process.
Botox is a very popular cosmetic procedure that you can have done during your time abroad in Mexico if you wish to do so.

There are other Dermal fillers available such as Restylane and Juvederm that are similar to Botox.
