| Millions of people - both men and women - crave to sustain a young, healthy look. There is nothing unhealthy about wrinkles and sagging, and many people accept the way they look. However, today's society demonstrates that beauty matters. And looking our best can build up self-confidence. If you have thought you have to live with wrinkles and sagging skin, here's an eyebrow raiser: skin care and medical treatments can give skin a much younger, healthier look at any age. How does your skin age? Have you ever wondered why some 40-year-olds boast gorgeous-looking skin, while others have to deal with signs of aging as early as their 20s? Your skin becomes older according to your biological clock, which is set by your generic makeup, as well as your exposure to the sun. Overexposure to the sun's rays, as well as smoking, pollution and tension, cause your skin to age quicker than you do. Your skin loses moisture and collagen, the connective tissue that makes skin elastic and firm. What's the result? Wrinkled sagging skin, age spots, fines lines, as well as an uneven distribution of fat. How to take care of skin? Daily use of moisturizers and sunscreens which protect the skin from ultraviolet rays, both UVA and UVB, is one of the best means of avoiding skin damage, rejuvenating skin and shielding yourself from skin cancer. You should choose one with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Begin using sunscreen at an early age. Antiwrinkle products There are a lot of over-the-counter products for reducing wrinkles. They typically contain - alpha hydroxyl acid, or AHA, antioxidants, retinoids, or tropical growth factors. Prescription retinoid creams are available, too. AHA creams can be applied alone or together with a retinoid to treat minor skin damage. They may better the texture, make the skin firmer and more elastic by speeding up exfoliation and stimulating the production of collagen. Retinoids work much better when combined with AHA products. If used over a period of years, they will keep on reversing skin aging, growth factors and antioxidants may also help to reverse environmental damage to skin.
