| The craving to always look healthy and young encourages both men and women to seek treatments which better the appearance of their skin. While there's nothing unhealthy about wrinkles and sags - and many people accept the way they look – let's face it: society of today sends the message that beauty matters. And looking our best can build up self-confidence.
If you have thought you have to live with wrinkled, sagging skin, here's what can be done: skin care products and medical treatments may make your skin look much younger and healthier at any age.
How does your skin age?
Do you why some people boast gorgeous-looking skin in their 40s, while some 20-year-olds show signs of aging?
Your biological clock, which is set by your generic makeup, as well as your exposure to the sun cause your skin to age. Overexposure to the sun's rays, as well as smoking, stress and pollution, cause your skin to age faster than you do. Your skin lacks moisture and collagen - the connective tissue which makes skin firm and elastic.
What does it result in? Wrinkles, fine lines, sags and age spots, as well as an unbalanced distribution of fat.
How to take care of skin?
Daily use of moisturizers and sunscreens protecting the skin from ultraviolet rays, both UVA and UVB, is one of the best means of avoiding skin damage, rejuvenating skin and protecting yourself from skin cancer. Choose one with an SPF of at least 15. Start applying sunscreen as early as possible.
Antiwrinkle solutions
There are many non-prescribed products for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. These "cosmeceuticals" normally contain - alpha hydroxyl acid, or AHA, antioxidants, retinoids, or tropical growth factors.
AHA creams can be applied alone or together with a retinoid to treat mildly damaged skin. They may improve the texture, quality and elasticity of your skin by speeding exfoliation and stimulating collagen. Retinoids work best when combined with AHA products. If used over a few years, they will keep on reversing skin aging, antioxidants and growth factors may also help reverse environmental damage to skin.
