| Millions of women – as well as men – crave to always look young and healthy. There's nothing unhealthy about wrinkled or sagging skin, and many people accept the way they look. However, society, today, demonstrates that beauty counts. And looking our best can strengthen self-confidence.
If you have thought you have to live with wrinkles and sagging skin, here's an eyebrow raiser: cosmetics and medical treatments may make your skin look much younger and healthier at any age.
What makes skin age?
Have you ever wanted to know why some people boast gorgeous-looking skin in their 40s, while others have to deal with signs of aging in their 20s?
Your skin becomes older according to your biological clock, which is influenced by your generic makeup, as well as your exposure to the sun. Overexposure to the sun, as well as smoking, stress and environmental pollution, cause your skin to age quicker than you do. Your skin loses moisture and collagen, the connective tissue which gives skin its elasticity and firmness. As a result, you have to deal with wrinkled sagging skin, age spots, as well as an unbalanced distribution of fat.
Basics of skin care
Daily use of moisturizing products and suncreams protecting the skin from UV-rays - both UVA and UVB - is one of the best ways to avoid skin damage, rejuvenate skin and protect yourself from skin cancer. Opt for one with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Start applying sunscreen at an early age.
Antiwrinkle products
There are a lot of no-prescription products for reducing wrinkles. They usually contain - alpha hydroxyl acid, or AHA, antioxidants, retinoids, or tropical growth factors. There are also prescription retinoid creams.
AHA creams can be applied alone or combined with a retinoid to treat minor skin damage. They may better the texture, quality and elasticity of your skin by speeding the removal of dead skin cells and stimulating the production of collagen. Retinoids work much better when combined with AHA products. If used over a period of years, they will continue to reverse skin aging, growth factors and antioxidants may also help reverse environmental damage to skin.
