And looking our best can build up self-confidence.
If you've thought you have to accept wrinkles and sagging skin, here's what can be done: skin care products and medical treatments abound to give skin a younger, healthier look, regardless how old you are.
What makes skin age?
Do you why some people boast gorgeous-looking skin in their 40s, while some 20-year-olds show signs of aging?
Your skin becomes older according to your biological clock, which is preset by your generic makeup, and your exposure to the sun. Overexposure to the sun's rays, as well as smoking, environmental pollution and strain, cause your skin to age quicker than you do. Your skin loses moisture and collagen - the connective tissue that gives skin its elasticity and firmness. As a result, you have to deal with wrinkled sagging skin, age spots, as well as an uneven distribution of fat.
Basics of skin care
Everyday use of moisturizing products and suncreams protecting the skin from ultraviolet rays, both UVA and UVB, is one of the most effective means of preventing skin damage, rejuvenating skin and shielding yourself from skin cancer. Choose one with an SPF of at least 15. Start applying sunscreen at an early age.
Antiwrinkle solutions
There are a great many no-prescription solutions to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. They commonly contain: alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA), retinoids, antioxidants, or tropical growth factors.
AHA creams can be applied alone or combined with a retinoid to treat minor skin damage. They may improve the texture, quality and elasticity of your skin by speeding up exfoliation and stimulating the production of collagen. Retinoids work best when combined with AHA products. If applied over a period of years, they will continue to reverse skin aging, antioxidants and growth factors may also help to reverse environmental damage to skin.
