Beneficial Procedures for Aging Skin

By Stina Delance


Coupled with these methods, there are other ways to maintain younger looking skin by having a generally healthy lifestyle. The effects of aging are inevitable, but with some good care you can help to prolong your youthful skin. A healthy and active lifestyle should be a given, and in addition to this, treatments such as Photofacial, Botox, and chemical peels and facelifts can make the skin look more youthful. Proper skin care is important at all times, and this includes during a cosmetic treatment, and immediately before and after.

It is well known that the best way for a person to reduce aging of the skin is to avoid excessive exposure to the sun. Understand that both the sun and tanning salons expose you to harmful ultraviolet (UV) light, which causes the bulk of damage for most people with aging skin. Sunscreen is important to apply to the skin because we may not notice the damage that the sun does to our skin, as it accumulates over time slowly.

Skin that is well hydrated looks more youthful and healthy. Applying moisturizer to the facial skin every day will do a good job of keeping the top layers of the skin hydrated.

The way we eat shows up in our skin. Omega 6 and omega 3 essential fatty acids are important for your skin in particular. These can be gained from fish, flax seed oil, or walnuts and other foods. For many people, their diets include most of what they need in this area, and the skin gets most of the essential fatty acids that it requires. Whenever possible, opt for whole wheat grains over "white" breads. Try to choose non-saturated fat products and low-fat dairy, as well as consuming lots of fruits and vegetables. Use common sense and the advice of your doctor or dietitian. Improving the way you eat will help you feel good and protect your skin from rapid aging.

The damage we receive in our skin is repaired by the natural enzymes within it. Skin will look younger for longer as these repair the damage we take from the sun, but they can only do so much as some aging happens no matter what. Cigarettes contains dangerous free radicals and toxins that destroy these enzymes that work to repair our skin, and smoke products also destroy elastin and collagen, which keeps our skin young and healthy. Those who choose to smoke cigarettes should take note that aging is sped up with each cigarette smoked. Quitting smoking will help a lot, so make every attempt at doing so. The accelerated aging of the skin will be slowed down, and the other dangers that are associated with smoking will be avoided.

Some people are naturally more likely to get acne than others. We all know that it doesn't look good and can leave behind permanent scars. To help reduce acne and the effects that it leaves, it's a good idea to visit a dermatologist. The pitted skin and scars that are left after acne will be prevented from forming. A physician will work with a patient to find the acne treatment that will benefit them the most. For those with more serious problems, a chemical peel is an option for acne, and this can be assessed and administered by a cosmetic surgeon.
