How To Successfully Accomplish Anti-Aging Skin Care
Related Articles |
Many women over the age of 40 are aware that special attention is required to help them retain natural, healthy skin. Things such as increasing circulation through exercise, consuming water to hydrate the skin from within, and eating nutritious foods are just the beginning steps in maintaining healthy skin. Anti-aging can be further enhanced by consuming Omega-3 supplements, which not only assist in repairing skin cells, but is also beneficial for the immune system.
It has been noted that aging skin is drier than in youth, therefore, cleansing should be done with a product that doesn’t strip away natural oils, yet is thorough enough to remove makeup. A product with natural extracts such as aloe and chamomile will help skin retain moisture.
Moisturizing is essential for older skin that may have become parched over time. A high concentration of silicone in skin care products will allow makeup to slide on (filling little creases), help the makeup stay smooth, and seal in moisture. Besides silicone, moisturizing cream should contain antioxidants, which neutralize skin damage caused by the sun and pollution. Some common antioxidants used in moisturizing creams include green tea, vitamin C and E, and a man-made antioxidant called idebenone. Vitamin C has the additional benefit of brightening dark spots. Retinoids are useful for diminishing fine lines, increasing turnover of skin cells and lightening brown spots. Besides being available as a prescription (Retin-A), retinoids are found in many common over-the-counter preparations.
Exfoliation is necessary for an anti-aging regimen because the cell renewal process slows down as we age, which causes rough patches. Glycolic acid treatments are excellent for exfoliating and reducing the size of pores. There are numerous exfoliating products available without prescription for home use.
