| The craving to look healthy and young spurs millions of women – as well as men – to look for treatments which improve the appearance of their skin. While there is nothing unhealthy about wrinkles and sagging - and many people move serenely through life accepting the way they look – let's face it: today's society sends the message that beauty matters. And looking our best can fortify self-confidence.
How does your skin age?
Do you why some 40-year-olds boast gorgeous-looking skin, while some 20-year-olds show signs of aging?
Your biological clock, which is determined by your generic makeup, and your exposure to the sun are the causes of skin aging. Excessive exposure to the sun, as well as smoking, tension and pollution, cause your skin to age faster than you do. Your skin lacks moisture and collagen, the connective tissue that makes skin elastic and firm. Consequently, you have to deal with wrinkles, fine lines, sags and age spots, as well as an uneven distribution of fat.
How to take care of skin?
Everyday use of moisturizing products and sunscreens that protect the skin from ultraviolet rays - both UVA and UVB - is one of the most effective ways to prevent skin damage, rejuvenate skin and protect yourself from skin cancer. Select one with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Start applying sunscreen as early as possible.
Antiwrinkle solutions
There are a great many no-prescription products for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. These "cosmeceuticals" usually contain - alpha hydroxyl acid, or AHA, antioxidants, retinoids, or tropical growth factors. Prescription retinoid creams are also available.
AHA creams can be applied alone or combined with a retinoid to treat mildly damaged skin. They may better the texture, quality and elasticity of your skin by speeding exfoliation and stimulating collagen. Retinoids work much better when used with AHA products. If applied within a few years, they will keep on reversing skin aging, antioxidants and growth factors may also help to reverse environmental damage to skin.
