HOW we can PREVENT, slow down and improve our skin to AGE GRACEFULLY.

HOW we can PREVENT, slow down and improve our skin to AGE GRACEFULLY.

1.    Topicals

     Vitamin A and Vitamin C as we have come to distinguish is an integral part of skin care maintenance and there is clinically no better way to distribute them to your skin then by using topicals that can be mixed into your fresh skin care

2.    Botox

We’ve all heard about it, we all know someone who is doing it, but what is it and why does it work? Botox is an inhibitor that works to relax specific muscles that when contracted form lines. Botox is not a filler, and although people often use terms like Botoxed, or too much Botox, if injected properly there is almost no physical indication of the treatment.

3.    Injectable Fillers

Most frequently used for Injectable Fillers, which you guessed it, fill in hollows and wrinkles while providing a slight lift, is something called Hyaluronic Acid that is a unsurprisingly occurring substance that absorbs moisture in the skin and eventually is broken down and steadily the effects wear off.

4.    Skin Tightening

Did you ever imagine that radiofrequency would be an appropriate component to anti-aging? There is an amazing device called Therm-age that used radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production and can tighten skin on the face, around the eyes, neck and even on the body.

5.    IPL for overall improvement in texture, tone and colour, including Brown Spots and Age Spots

This is the most frequently performed treatment because its results and benefits are so multi-faceted. So how does it work? The Light actually raises and removes pigment from the skin and concurrently stimulates collagen remodelling.

6. Blu Light for Precancerous Lesions and Adult Acne

Just like sitting under a hair dryer in the days of old, this healing consists of sitting in front of a Blu Light after an application of a photodynamic prescription drug which for precancerous cells works by destroying damaged cells in the skin and for acne reduces oil production and eliminates acne bacteria in the skin preventing future acne as well.

7. Don’t call it beauty sleep for nothing!

Sleep is vital for cell repair and regeneration, and lack of essential sleep can mess up these processes. The effect is skin that does not look as healthy as it could be. Good overall health, including proper diet, exercise, limiting alcohol intake, not smoking and good quality of sleep habits will all help to improve skin's appearance and its ability to heal itself.

HOW SKIN DEVELOPS THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT LIFE CYCLES

HOW SKIN DEVELOPS THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT LIFE CYCLES

Your skin in your thirties:

-This is the time when you’ll first find signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, in the skin around the eyes, mouth and neck.
-You lose more water which leads to dry and decrease the skin's natural defense blockade.

Along with daily sunscreen, your skin desires extra moisture, as it tends to get drier as we age. So reflect on using a richer moisturizer and begin using the Vitamin A at night.

Your skin in your forties:

-Dryness of the skin rises at this period and sunspots, age spots and pigmentation may come out in the late forties, it depends on your sun behaviour. This is also where you will set up to find changing in the skin on the backs of your hands, and probably in the chest area as well.
Whether you like it or not, at this stage “we” are starting to age, so you should be diligent about using Vitamin A at nighttime, and now just like your glass of OJ is good for your body, begin using Vitamin C in the morning for your skin.

Your skin in your fifties:

-In your fifties, I am afraid Hollywood didn’t paint an accurate picture of today’s woman in her fifties, flabby skin on the neck area begins to form jowls and the skin on your neck, hands and chest leans to become thinner and more fragile than that on the rest of your body. If this isn’t enough, your lips begin to thin due to a loss of moisture and collagen, and you might appear to have a turned down mouth due to loss of skin elasticity. Don’t think about milk baths ladies; just continue with Vitamin A and Vitamin C.

Your skin in your sixties and seventies: 

-As we age “gracefully” fine lines will start to appear on your cheeks, lines from your nose to mouth can become deeper, and marionette lines also can become more pronounced
-Skin looks thinner and more translucent, making things like blood vessels more visible
-Your skin will begin to be drier, making lines and wrinkles more prominent along with a loss of volume around the eyes, mouth, cheeks and temples due to fat loss
-The loss of elasticity in the skin at this period of life along with gravity increase the look of sagging skin so in this case, and every other stage “Prevention is the best medicine” which we will discuss in a moment – ladies in this stage Vitamin A and Vitamin C application is important as the skin is very susceptible to the benefits of both Vitamins, especially if delivered in a concentrated form.
