Antiaging Antiwrinkle Skin Care
Feel and look younger with antiaging antiwrinkle skin care.Understanding how your skin ages can help you choose the right skin care that will protect it from the passage of time.
Everybody starts out with smooth, even-toned, firm skin.
Unfortunately, our environment and the passage of time are two things that make our skin get older fast but is something we can’t control very well. We can, however, minimize the effects of time and environment on our skin by practicing certain behaviors consistently which we’ll talk about later.
Protect Your Skin against the Effects of Time and Environment
Once you hit your 20′s, the aging process begins and by the time you are in your forties, you are left with lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores and a dull complexion. By establishing a routine of skin care when you are young and maintaining it as you get older, you can avoid the expensive and painful procedures that many women are using today.
Did you know that your skin cells renew themselves every 28 days? Yes, it’s true! That’s why today’s antiaging antiwrinkle skin care science makes it possible for you to have younger looking skin without surgery. Let me explain how it works.
First, everyone has an epidermis, which is the outer layer of our skin. The cells here are dead but they start out alive at the bottom of our epidermis and move up. It usually takes about 28 days for the cells to move.
Where do these cells come from? From the dermis, which is a supporting frame for the outer part of our skin. This is where blood vessels, nerve branches and lymphatics (glands) are intertwined throughout this layer. The dermis is where our skin gets its form, function and strength. This is also where the collagen resides and along with elastin, will give our skin its healthy appearance.
Our skin ages intrinsically and extrinsically. Intrinsic skin changes come from the passing of time…we are going to get older and our skin is going to show it!
Intrinsic skin aging starts around 30-35 years old, is slow and subtle and is usually irreversible.
Extrinsic skin changes come from exposure to the environment like sun damage from UV radiation. It results in a leathery appearance, dilated blood vessels and spider veins, and mottled or spotty skin. These changes are partly reversible with the use of antiaging antiwrinkle skin care such as sunscreen, retin-A, alpha hydroxyl acids and anti-oxidants like Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E skin care.
Two things you can do right now to practice good antiaging antiwrinkle skin care is to wear a sunscreen with SPF 17 and stay out of the sun when it’s the strongest, from 11am to 4pm. If you do need to go out in the sun during those hours, make sure you wear the suncreen with SPF 17 and protective clothing and a hat if necessary.
