The desire to always look young and healthy spurs millions of people - both women and men - to look for treatments improving the appearance of their skin. There is nothing unhealthy about wrinkles and sags, and a great many people move serenely through life accepting the way they look. Yet, society, nowadays, sends the message that beauty counts. And looking our best can build up self-confidence. How does your skin age? Have you ever wondered why some people have great-looking skin in their 40s, while some 20-year-olds show signs of aging? Your skin ages according to your biological clock, which is determined by your generic makeup, as well as your exposure to the sun. Overexposure to the sun's rays, as well as smoking, environmental pollution and tension, speed skin aging. Your skin loses moisture and collagen, the connective tissue that gives skin its elasticity and firmness. As a result, you have to deal with wrinkles, fine lines, sags and age spots, as well as an uneven distribution of fat. Basics of skin care Daily use of moisturizers 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 using sunscreen at an early age. Antiwrinkle products There are a great many non-prescribed products for reducing wrinkles. They commonly contain - alpha hydroxyl acid, or AHA, antioxidants, retinoids, or tropical growth factors. Prescription retinoid creams are also available. AHA creams can be used alone or combined with a retinoid to treat mildly damaged skin. They may improve the texture, quality and elasticity of your skin by speeding exfoliation and stimulating the production of collagen. Retinoids work best when combined with AHA products. If applied over a few years, they will continue to reverse skin aging, growth factors and antioxidants may also help reverse environmental damage to skin.
