Due to increased health and lifestyle awareness, the market for anti-aging skin care has boomed in the past decade. Technological advances within the anti-aging field allowed for the introduction of effective counter-clockwise products into an everyday beauty routine. With medical fundamentals, these anti-aging products aid the health and maintenance of mature skin, along with adding attractive aesthetic benefits.
What happens when your skin ages?
Due to the approach of the menopause, many mature women undergo dramatic hormonal changes that include the decline of the hormones produced by the ovaries (progesterone and estrogen). This causes a decline in the synthesis of the components of the skin matrix, epidermis thickening, and dermis thinning due to the reduction of the production of sebum.
The resilience of the skin also declines, which leads to the progressive development of fine lines and wrinkles. There are more negative factors to think about: past and present sun overexposure accelerates pigmentation damage, and slackening muscles that promote facial sag, just to name a few.
Beautiful skin is not lost with age.
Everyone at any age can be proactive when it comes to the well-being of their skin and anti-aging skin care. Below are some advised precautionary measures you can take as part of an anti-aging routine:
Incorporate a retinoid into your beauty regime.
Scientifically proven as one of the most effective anti-aging agents that reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, a beauty product with added retinoids will boost collagen production and normalize cell renewal (which declines as skin matures). Derived from vitamin A, it is advised to begin with a retinol product that is less irritating and more accessible. A worthwhile example would be ‘Retinol Cream’ from Benev, an anti-aging product that has been stabilized with antioxidants to ensure consistent results and enhanced with a tissue-hydrator in the form of Rose Hip Oil to prevent skin dehydration.
Ensuring skin hydration is of utmost importance.
Keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized as it ages is very important. To avoid the parched look of aged skin, it is vital to include an anti-aging moisturizer with added antioxidants into your anti-aging skin care routine. The neutralization of free radicals makes antioxidants essential. For example, a daily anti-aging moisturizer like Kinerase cream is formulated with the natural plant extract, kinetin. Kinetin is the actual extract that prevents plant leaves from drying, and now it has been adapted to increase the ability of aging skin to maintain moisture and improve appearance.
Rejuvenate skin with amino acid top ups.
It is well known that amino acids make up basic epidermal skin proteins, such as collagen, lipids, elastin, keratin, as well as skin tissue proteins that are vital for skin maintenance. AminoGenesis Cocoon is a deep-hydrating anti-aging moisturizer that uses seventeen plant-derived amino acids that have been blended in a process known as low energy emulsion technology. This is a stable formula that can be used to aid dry skin conditions, as well as for anti-aging.
Hexapeptides work on the same principal as botox.
Hexapeptides are similar to botox, but a fraction of the price – and none of the unease. Hexapeptides are amino acids utilized by anti-aging products like ‘Freeze 24-7 Anti-Aging Eye Serum’ which inhibit muscle movements and softens crow’s feet. Although an eye cream cannot reach the depths that botox can, favorable studies have applauded its effectiveness.
Antioxidants are the allies of anti-aging sun protection.
First, use sunscreen daily. Second, as your skin age increases, so should the SPF number on your sunscreen. Increasing your SPF from 15 to 30 gives more effective protection from fine line-inducing UV rays. Look for specific anti-aging skin care sun protection against UVA and UVB rays, as well as ones that incorporate antioxidants such as Vitamin C and E. Antioxidants will protect against the formation of dangerous free radicals from UV exposure. Read labels on anti-aging sun protection products and look for UVA blockers such as avobenzone and helioplex.
Age gracefully with anti-aging skin care
If you want to maintain the vibrancy of your skin as it matures, then consider adapting your lifestyle to incorporate some anti-aging awareness and anti-aging products. Extensive research and exciting scientific developments within the anti-aging field leaves the future as bright as our skin’s potential.
