| Skin Care - The Way You Look Does Matter | | Date Added: July 12, 2010 10:37:07 PM |
| Millions of people - both men and women - desire to always look young and healthy. While there's nothing unhealthy about wrinkles and sags - and many people move serenely through life accepting the way they look – let's face it: society of today demonstrates that beauty matters. And looking our best can fortify self-confidence.
So if you have reckoned you have to live with wrinkles and sagging skin, here's what can be done: skin care and medical treatments abound to give skin a younger, healthier look, regardless how old you are.
What makes skin age?
Have you ever wondered why some 40-year-olds boast great-looking skin, while others have to deal with signs of aging in their 20s?
Your skin becomes older according to your biological clock, which is determined by your generic makeup, and your exposure to the sun. Excessive exposure to the sun, as well as smoking, environmental pollution and tension, cause your skin to age faster than you do. Your skin lacks moisture and collagen - the connective tissue which makes skin elastic and firm.
What does it result in? Wrinkled sagging skin, age spots, fines lines, as well as an uneven distribution of fat.
Basics of skin care
Daily use of moisturizers and suncreams that protect the skin from UV-rays, both UVA and UVB, is one of the best means of preventing skin damage, rejuvenating skin and shielding yourself from skin cancer. Select one with an SPF of at least 15. Start applying sunscreen at an early age.
Antiwrinkle products
There are a great many non-prescribed products for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. They normally contain - alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA), antioxidants, retinoids, or tropical growth factors. Prescription retinoid creams are available, too.
AHA creams can be used alone or combined with a retinoid to treat mildly damaged skin. They may better the texture, quality and elasticity of your skin by speeding up exfoliation and stimulating collagen. Retinoids work much better when combined with AHA products. If applied over a period of years, they will keep on reversing skin aging, growth factors and antioxidants may also help reverse environmental damage to skin.
